As usual, we're continuing the annual tradition of celebrating Scratch with a MAP -- here's 2024's Scratch Week MAP! Yes, it's a little bit early for it, but hopefully this ensures that everyone has adequate time to complete it and we can put it together without worrying about being late. In 2020, I hosted a Scratch Month MAP using the song "Cats In The Cradle," which got featured, and @RainbowGeckos (AKA Ori) also hosted a MAP using the song "Happy" that year. We decided to continue the tradition by hosting Scratch MAPs together, and this will be our fifth year doing so! (That's crazy to think about.) In 2021, we co-hosted "Try Everything," which was featured. In 2022, "Dynamite" was curated. In 2023, "Permission To Dance" was featured. We're excited to continue this tradition with you! This year, we're taking a trip down nostalgia lane for the 2013-2014 hit song "Best Day Of My Life" (BDOML) by American Authors. This year's no different: the theme of each MAP part is "what makes Scratch fun." This means that parts can be energetic and convey the theme of "having fun on Scratch" in any way, including the awesome memories you've made on Scratch and/or your epic Scratch journey! Some things to keep in mind: - Standard rules and common sense apply to this MAP. Nothing in your part is allowed to go against the Scratch community guidelines in any way, shape, or form. - There will be a one-part-per-person limit so that more people can participate. - Absolutely NO BACKDROP ANIMATING. You can use up to 3 sprites when making your part. - No "experience" is required, but hopefully you're somewhat familiar with animating. On that note, Ori and I will also be inviting those who have participated previously in our MAPs. - Anyone is welcome to make a thumbnail entry that will be included in the outro! (We have already asked someone to make it but this is one way to have your art featured somewhere in the MAP.) - Also, new this year: if you're an artist, you may submit one or two of your best pieces that will be used somewhere in the outro. - DON'T ENTER IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME. This should be a given, but unfortunately, every year people ultimately drop out. This sometimes can't be helped, but if you know you're going to be busy and you're not certain you can finish a part, please don't enter. THE FINAL DEADLINE IS MAY 1ST, 2024. No extensions will be given. This being said, please try to get your part done quickly to help us out <3 Progress Check : March 23rd, 2024 Progress Check : April 13th, 2024 Progress Check : April 27th, 2024 (I have been fairly lenient on the first progress check, but just know that if you don't respond to two consecutively your part will likely be reassigned unless you've participated in the MAP multiple times before.) Without further ado, here are the parts! **All parts are currently taken but PLEASE ask to be a backup. There is a good chance you can still get involved. Also, send in your art!!** ALL taken (including intro & outro) 21/21 completed (excluding outro) -- yippee!!
