"Code Golf" is a challenge to write a program using the least number of code blocks. (You can right-click in the code editor to see how many blocks you have used). This "Code Golf" challenge is to draw the Scratch Cats pattern. All exact Scratch Cat sizes and positions are inside the project. Rules: ** You MUST use the Stamp block ** If you use clones, they MUST stamp Scratch Cat so that the pattern remains when "Stop" is clicked. This rule is to make possible clone/recursion/iteration solutions fairer in that they must all use "stamp". * You must start with the 6 starter blocks. * You MAY modify the starter values in the "go to X: Y:" and "point in direction" blocks * You MAY change the starting size in "set size to ... %" * You may NOT use lists! (Otherwise all these grid problems can be solved in the same way by storing their data in lists) * You may NOT use data to simulate using a list: ie. you may NOT use the "letter ... of ..." block, or use costume/sprite/backdrop names to hold list data. Also you may NOT position or use multiple sprites to hold vertex positions similar to a list. Subtract the 6 starter blocks when calculating how many blocks your project uses. You can comment on this project with a link to your code-golfed project and/or make it a remix.
Challenge 5 of 5 (Other Scratchers may add more?) ** As "set size" sets to an integer, this much error in positioning is ok! Thank-you haruni459 and PutneyCat You MUST use the Stamp block ************************************ ** If you use clones, they MUST stamp Scratch Cat so that the pattern remains when "Stop" is clicked. This rule is to make possible clone/recursion/iteration solutions fairer in that they must all use "stamp". ** Rules allow some changes to 6 starter blocks. (Note that "Set Size = 100%" replaces Pen Up/Down in this challenge and the start Size may be changed) ** Note the rules in the Instructions about "No lists or simulated lists allowed", otherwise all these "grid" problems can be solved by storing all their vertex data. See the Code Golf Studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/25601101/ It has some projects that demonstrate some advanced Scratch Code Golf techniques.
