Okay, I kinda ran out of ideas for projects, so I decided to make a GIF with the Scratch art editor honoring my love for the :D emote. This one has 26 frames and is pretty smooth... Basically, I made a :D sprite and put it against a gray background, took screenshots of it at different sizes, directions, and ghost effect levels, uploaded the screenshots as costumes for another sprite, filled in the transparent parts with the same gray color (the screenshots weren't all the same size, so it'd look weird if I didn't), and then deleted the :D sprite (though I did backpack it for good measure). It took a bit longer than expected because I tried to fix a line but it ended up looking even weirder due to not all the frames looking the same, so I had to delete all the frames and re-upload the screenshots. To use this project as a GIF (on a Mac): 1. Click "see inside" to access the "gif" sprite's costumes. Download each of them by clicking with both fingers and choosing "export" from the pull-down menu. Drag them to your desktop or toolbar. 2. Download a GIF from somewhere, like giphy.com. Make sure it doesn't have too many frames. 3. Open it in Preview. Drag the frames from this project into the GIF to add them, then delete the frames from the original GIF. And that... is how you convert a Scratch project to a GIF. Enjoy :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
