Edit 21 Mar 2025: This project was originally shared on Jul 18, 2024. It was accidentally unshared for a period of time, apologies for the reshare! Edit 10 Aug 2024: Application form has been accepted! I am now a member of the pilot Youth Advisory Board cohort as of August 2024, thanks for all your support! Hello Scratch Team, Welcome to my 2024 Scratch Youth Advisory Board application! The Youth Advisory board is a new program designed to enable youth leaders within the Scratch online community to collaborate directly with the Scratch Team. For more information about the Scratch Y.A.B., you can check out this post: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/769209/ - This project is best viewed with audio on. - There is an animation/intro at the beginning timed to the music. When the white screen that displays "Goldensun_Silverdrop's Youth Advisory Board application" fades away you are able to navigate through the buttons and the menu. - Start by clicking on the floating pagedoll of me in the bottom left corner! - All other instructions and credits can be found in the project. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - This application project is titled "I Want You Back" after the song that is playing in the background of the project! It doesn't have any direct meaning to the content of the application, this was chosen just because the intro and various aspects of the project are timed to or related to the song. The song was chosen because of the upbeat mood and intro beats that could be timed in sync to the intro. - I had problems saving the project on its original ID when I created it, so I downloaded the project and uploaded it to an old, unshared project that was no longer in use - that's why it started out with some views and likes. For some reason, it works when I upload a .sb3 file into an existing project but not when I try to save the new project; every time I encounter project saving issues and need to get a project shared I tend to resort to this because it is quick has been working on my device for a long time. Just letting you guys know so you don't get surprised by the views and such! (This was not an attempt to get on the trending page or anything, as the method of resharing projects that already have views no longer works.) - No idea why there are Cloud Variables in this project, I think the old project I uploaded my application to had them. I deleted all cloud variables and code involving cloud variables after doing so, so no worries about that. CREDITS: These are also in the project for convenience! - Art: - Writing: - Code: - Screenshots: Scratch and Vonage (for the 2FA clipart in section 005) - Falling blossoms sprite: - Music: "I want you back" by The Jackson 5 - Tools used: Scratch Editor, Kleki Paint Tool, Photomosh - Pagedoll: Shoutout to my online friend for the idea of the "REC" aesthetic and the song that I chose for this application! She also helped me collaborate on a lot of my stories and ideas when I was newer to Scratch, and was also a participant of some of the events that happened in Section 003 of my application where I describe fun Scratch experiences and memories. Go give her a follow and check out her projects if you'd like! This project may contain references to "Remedy Earnhart" and/or "Xenovo A. Lastlight".
