@the_true_odst left click is always used to highlight, left click is the primary function for your mouse (mouse button 1 in the system) and interacting with your costumes is your main intent, and right click is secondary (mouse button 2) so its for moving around wtih is a lesser but still big intent

(weapons have been switched from modern to futuristic.)

@info-creaticode I think their intent is what projects do with a sort of thumbnail, it’s purpose (as far as I know) is to not make the project look “ugly” when you stop it mid way due to clones disappearing, projects do this via having a sprite always ontop that when the green flag is pressed, sets its ghost effect to 100, whenever the stop sign is pressed all visual effects disable, so when they press the stop sign the ghost effect goes to 0 and it shows the sort of thumbnail, this would be for effectively doing that, though my example provides a valid reason for this to be another method of gracefully stopping a cloud based project where flat out stopping it could result in other sessions being made worse

@the_true_odst

Got it. We’ll check why it happens on chromebooks.

@the_true_odst

Yes.

Hi @sirbots , I’m thinking of making a game similar to your war game. I posted the sneak peak in one of my forums (https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1995/sneak-peak-for-my-next-game). Can you tell me if it looks good at first glance? Also, this isn’t a direct copy of your game, I’m using ideas from my previous top down games like Bot Test.

Also, it’s really tricky for me to make detection on enemies. If I make friendly AI units, I may also need help on that. If you are fine with helping me on that as well I would really appreciate it. You are the only one that I know that makes games similar to this.

I thought that there was going to be at least someone to reply… 😞

@andis_3cc

So you are hitting the daily limit for free users. It should reset tomorrow.

Hi,

These are great questions, but there are no easy answers. CreatiCode is a much more advanced version of Scratch, so you will have to learn the basics before creating complex projects.

Can you start with the tutorials on this list?

https://www.forum.creaticode.com/category/17/tutorials

 
You can build some simple projects by following these examples, and then ask more specific questions about what you would like to do, such as how to modify one of these projects based on your idea.

@jamesa-blackwell-57b383d3

The simplest solution is indeed using the viewport:

Make the canvas size much larger than the view port Draw a large backdrop in the stage canvas Lock the viewport on the key sprite

Here is an example:

play.creaticode.com/projects/6842f3d73d952dd83a741d13

 
If this “does not work”, can you please explain what the problems are? We can either refine this or discuss a completely different solution.

i am too new. i cannot add screenshots. i am sorry.

hola

@rubiired

We have communicated with that user and he/she agreed to remove inappropriate projects. If there is evidence that he/she is sharing new inappropriate projects again, we will take further actions.

OK. You can control the angular speed of the camera using the “configure camera” block’s last input, which is a percentage. For example, when you set it to 100, it is the default speed, but if it is 10, then it will be 10% of the default speed.

See this project for example:

play.creaticode.com/projects/68345dcdcf69bbdc83e9472e

You can use the “when widget changes” block.

Here is a simple example:

play.creaticode.com/projects/6831f4e759dd9cb676181c93

@jeffreyrb03-gmail this would make creaticode more of a base template, though ig all the new blocks would be offic al, it would be very similar to turborwarp but with more verification on new blocks, also there are (likely) some features that couldn’t run in a html file, though with exe’s you can use electron preload to effectively simulate a server (I made a small script for testing on vscode.dev via remote tunnels that mimicked electron handlers)

@khour_thedeveloper-cc5393d8

Hi, sorry about that issue.

You should be able to create many clones with an issue. If you have this problem again, can you please share the project?

@notjaldolfyt

The service has been restored.

@notjaldolfyt

Thank you for the suggestion. We will look into how to add this.

@info-creaticode Ohh nevermind

This issue has been resolved.

@info-creaticode That’s odd, for some reason if I do it it says it’s inappropriate when replying to people on my project.

@notjaldolfyt

This issue is fixed now.

@remi-1286167-510cee35

If you use the pointer lock, the v-angle will be automatically changed. But you said you want to limit the v-angle?

If you want it to move freely but within a range, you can still use the same block to set the v-angle whenever it is outside the range.

@coder0145 said in Fog end:

The box is just to demonstrate the fog works on objects, right?

That’s correct.

@greeniwastakenyt

Do you still have this issue? Most likely it was a temporary outage from ChatGPT’s service (OpenAI).

In addition, whenever you have such outage issues, you can replace the ChatGPT block with the LLM block, which works the same way but connects to a different AI service.

@ljvb_4

Yes, so long as credit is given. Thank you.

@info-creaticode Thanks so much!

@info-creaticode The site CreatiCode, not the forum.

@coder0145

That dropdown is automatically populated using the list of sprites in the project.

According to the tutorial, you need to create another sprite named “Maze”, which will be used to create the walls of the maze. After you do that, then this dropdown will contain the “Maze” option.

@greeniwastakenyt said in Creaticode AI v4 help:

what does socratic mode do?

Hi, you can actually ask XO this question:

bded187a-4b01-4d96-ad41-545a116a2199-image.png

@alexanderstevens-62d46173

This issue has been fixed.

@attractive-milk

Our current focus is on AI-related learning and coding tools. We will continue to make XO (the AI assistant) smarter and add more AI blocks.

Other than that, we work on a list of features requested by users (many from this forum), such as addons/extensions, new 3D models, UX optimizations, etc.

Feel free to make new suggestions!

@info-creaticode I will here soon. I should also mention that there is text showing the prompt for generation in the middle of the screen. That isn’t there anymore. So, it might be that it didn’t store the message or something like that. Maybe some invalid data storing.

@hynes-averyy-8b125bb5 It is quite annoying when they forget stuff during a lot conversation lol, that is true. Ill check out narrati and tell you what I think. Ive been experimenting with AI lately for different stuff (except its “art”) and I might make a project for this now not sure 🤔. Thank you for the response!

@blackguy-27c5da45 I see it on the search tab:
8508a7e6-956c-42f0-b327-b483819764c8-Screenshot 2025-04-17 11.01.18 AM.png

@info-creaticode It’s not there anymore, I changed it from a clone to the actual sprite since I couldn’t figure out the bug.

I added some sounds when you upgrade. Nifty little feature.

@the_true_odst make it so if they touch it they say something or use print to console. This is how most programmers (allegedly people using languages other than JS dont do this but I still doubt that) debug stuff, you add a bunch of prints to ensure what is broken, like is it the touching detection or the cursor, you dont know becuase if one doesn’t work, the other won’t (if touching doesnt work then the cursor will never change, if the cursor changing doesnt work you wouldn’t know becuase the touching would be trying to use something that’s broken)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail

Thanks. We will look into this.

@info-creaticode That sounds good!

@the_true_odst

The code should work. Can you provide a project link where it doesn’t work for you? And what do you mean by “doesn’t work”?

@The_True_Odst I struggled to understand what you meant at first, but after some re-reading, I can help. So I understand you want to be able to find the decimal number AT any decimal place of any decimal number reliably.
So, decimal places go like
0.0001
(whole number).tenths,hundredths,thousandths,ten-thousandths, hundred-thousandths, millions, etc.

So we know the bold in 0.0001 is thousandths, but we need a program to do that.
We’ll just be saying the number of its place instead, like that’s the third decimal place here (3).

So we need to clean up the number by making it positive (incase its negative), and only focusing on the part after the decimal point, then returning the decimal place based on another input.

Make a reporter custom block with two inputs then put this code into it:
64b4716e-d974-4486-abbb-ae682fd1def9-image.png

It should report the number that exists at a decimal place. So in 0.128456, if you wanted to know the number that resides at thousandths place (3), then you’d do (return decimal place (3) of decimal number (0.128456)) and it would report “8”.

@the_true_odst Ok

@info-creaticode cool!

so who wants to fight the chicken?

CHICKEN JOCKEY!

@flores-yorkshireacademy

If you ask our AI assistant, you should be able to find out the issue:

76181683-5a5f-48aa-804b-28b36b3bdaf4-image.png

Our original example was using “body rotation speed limit”. I guess you picked the wrong block?

@the_true_odst said in New block: Round by {number}:

What about a new block?

Well, it will be a bit confusing with 2 “round” blocks. Also, as shown, it is fairly easy to work around it, right?

d4dae5fa-1610-4f0c-8835-f3cd3c7069af-image.png

@the_true_odst

Another way is to scale it up by 100, round to integers (so get rid of the tiny noise value), then divide it by 100:

b83d4c75-c4be-427c-9a71-a46c1565016d-image.png

@the_true_odst in the files app for your chromebook make a new folder, then make three text folders, make sure you have show file extensions on, and rename one to index.html, another to style.css, and another to script.js, I would recommend for this initial setup and for learning the basics of js very quickly, ask an ai about it, Im not saying you should have an ai make it all, but ask it for stuff like what a draw loop is or when to use multiple js files, I think an ai could better explain what Im trying to say in context of a chromebook

@the_true_odst a6f72653-e131-453d-9a74-ed5141ab2a54-image.png

@attractive-milk

Points taken. This layout was used when there weren’t a lot of user projects yet. We will redesign it to make popular user projects higher on the page. Thank you.

@coder0145

In that case, you can use a forever loop to turn the avatar towards the direction of the camera (its “H-Angle” like this:

3472590d-27cb-47e4-a48b-6bee698a4b07-image.png

@tyller_ Alr. I will backpack the scripts into a separate project and share it. (I do use the target x/y lists)

@dreamsmp_luck It would also be good if there was an option to switch between arrow keys and WASD

@the_true_odst you use the intended and actual as a back bone, for the gravity you just set the intended x and intended y values at the changing, your gravity was mainly change y by 2 every frame and then change y by negative 2 to go down (from what I remember), you can set the intended y speed to 2 every frame (you dont need to every frame but it would work) and then the same with negative, you wouldn’t use 2 because multiplayer blocks make sprites move slower than if you moved them yourself so you have to retest it

basically, you replace all change y by blocks in your gravity with set intended y speed to a value and test for what they should be

@sirbots thats good 😄

@the_true_odst

Unfortunately, we are using the NodeBB project for this forum, which does not support such customized notifications. There are some settings you can change in your own setting page.

@info-creaticode I mean like being able to choose between textures:
Picture of textures
The colors will still be the same depending on how you color them, but the texture may look different.

Edit: the URL may not work

@info-creaticode Here soon, at the doctor’s rn. I will provide an explanation:

The project which I had shared where the sound blocks were not working, I had made a copy of the original version with all the old code from the main WOC game. The blocks worked just fine.

HOWEVER:

After making some edits, and, moving the song files around, the sound blocks did not work. Reloading the project yielded no Sucess, and making a copy didn’t work as well. Going towards the original copy of the project, it was working just fine. Even making different edits to make it look the same didn’t break the blocks. I made the code for the project, keeping the original code in the sprites holding the songs from the game, then deleted the original code once I had made all the new code. Doing this did not break the blocks EXCEPT in the Stage.

OHHH MY PCCCCCC

Click me! (reloads site… hopefully dosent do something else after posting, i will delete this if so)

@info-creaticode sounds good

@the_true_odst said in Maybe Creaticode knows the issue::

point towards mouse-pointer” is a bit buggy

We’ll look into that.

@sirbots Good luck!

@attractive-milk @The_True_Odst

Thanks for the feedback. It appears to be an issue related to computer speed and network latency between the 2 of you.

We will give it more tests and try to improve the performance.

@info-creaticode thanks for the idea! I will definitely do something like that for sure

@sirbots

Please try again. The issue should be resolved now.

@tyller_ oh yeah sometimes putting an invisible HTML element in the middle of a word helps. That site actually isnt blocked and I’ll keep it in mind for file stuff, thank you!

@the_true_odst It is somewhat top down. I suppose you could just alter the general placement to fit your game.

@attractive-milk Also, Scratch comes with a Milk carton. (A sprite, not a real one.)

@the_true_odst Ah like app store apps where they have the carousel of app images? That’d be awesome

This New Ocean 2.0 - Major Content Update

Release date: TBA

What’s New

AI

Finished V1 of the AI The AI can now damage players. The AI will not be visible unless they are within a certain distance of the player. Begun work of adding statistics to different ships Increased the number of bots on the map. Widen the area at which bots spawn by 250% and further increased the distance of which they spawn from each other.

Player

Begun work of adding different statistics to different ships Begun live testing of guided missiles

Buildings

Begun work for settlements to attack enemy ships Added a new building: Port Provides the highest resource rate of any building up to this version, and is the first major resource production building to have defenses.
Statistics Population Growth Rate: 15 Resource Rate: 250 Defense: 3/10

Planets

Added 6 new planet Designs Added 6 new planet surfaces

Sounds

Added voice-lines. Added 6 new soundtracks for fighting enemies

Bug Fixes
There are no bug fixes.

This update is to focus on adding content and testing content.

The AI has played a key part in the game’s development. This version would complete the first working alliteration of the AI.

Since there are different variations of ships the player can use, these ships should have different statistics that should stand out from others. Thus, the Battlecuriser and the Battleship will have their own statistics.

To provide an alternative to machine gun fights, guided missiles will added. During all of 2.0’s live updates, each will mark a new testing stage for these missiles. Expect the game to break or mess up during these live updates.

Introducing the first new building to the game: The Port. For those who want to make a large investment for their settlement, this would be for you! Provides a whopping 250 resources per 5 seconds. It’s also the first major resource building with a form of defense against enemies.

Along with some new planet designs and enemies, this will be one of the few massive updates the game will get.

The next update will be the first live test update of building defenses and guided missiles.

@mod-squadacademy Here is the link for the game:
https://forum.creaticode.com/topic/1902/sneak-peak-of-a-game-omg-this-is-so-laggy

@c I’ll go fix that, I have the default message setup to notify some people of reports and must of messed it up in the project side

editing this cus I fixed it in like 4 minutes, it seems that the only way you could of gotten that is if it saw your user id as blank, for my alt I have a placeholder setup since I haven’t used it in a while so I haven’t gone to get its user id to set it. I left the place for the user id blank, so I just tested and if the user id is nothing it’ll detect your user id as being for my alt, I have made it so it has a dummy value, but it’s weird that it ever triggered since it would require your user id to be nothing.

Something else, I didnt realize you could make a world without a password and name, I thought I probably would of thought about that but I r have realized I didnt, I jsut made a world manually (via editing the sheets data) to have one

edit 2: I’ve also made it so it trims world names so you can’t make worlds with spaces/whitespace for names

@tyller_
Oh I was able to see those points. I didn’t even try to break it. It just did.

@tyller_

Please give it a try. I would love to hear your feedback. It is always a challenge to know when to give out the answer and when to hold it back, even for human teachers. Our current setting is to make the AI keep providing more hints when the user struggles. Hopefully, that will be good enough for most situations.

@sirbots

That should be resolved now.

@c That’s normal, and intended. If you change the cursor to “crosshair” then it will stay crosshair until you change it again. So it’s your responsibility to change the cursor back to the default.

@tyller_ I used the wrong operators, and I didn’t have the proper distance variable in the movement scripts.

@sirbots

Problem confirmed. It seems this is because this project is getting too big. It is over 145M when exported. You might need to consider using smaller clips or fewer sounds.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Happy Biffy!

@the_true_odst In This New Ocean, yes. The AI won’t however. It’s already out, just check the Update Log for the game to get the link.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah if you copy a block and edit its name to something invalid it’ll show that, pretty sure any block that actually renders means it does have a texture or something about it defined

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yeah but with some touchscreen it allows for mouse and touchscreen, so maybe header blocks for when touchscreen started and when non touchscreen started? or just a booolean for if touchscreen is in use (whether last press was mouse or touchscreen) then manually detect changes and run scripts (toggling joysticks etc)

@tyller_ It doesnt use GPU acceleration like TensorFlow so it kinda sucks on that part as you have to make up methods to make it go faster and all that are kinda annoying.

For training data, it’s just a lot of sentences and all on random topics from wikipedia

@the_true_odst

This issue has been fixed.

Sorry to hear that. Can you try to reload the page?

Is there a project link that we can look into?

@sirbots I created 50 of something (let’s called it “thing1” bc the game I’m making is a secret), 25 of thing2, 12 of thing3, 6 of thing4, 3 of thing5, 1 of thing6, reshuffled the table a few times and pulled the first item out of that table. If that’s what you mean, would you make another table if you have a higher rarity with more rarer things added?

@info-creaticode I have 2 solutions to that.

1: Have the find closest clone automatically log each clone’s x and y coordinates of the target sprite every time it’s run.

2: Add a block to calculate the positions of all clones of the target sprite.

@info-creaticode True, I’m gonna make something that might help you guys out with that perhaps (not code)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I realized that those blue boxes appear after playing tutorial, I will try to fix that

@the_true_odst
He means project score.
3163e0f5-8348-4913-ad51-f25b96408007-image.png
and im clearly in last place on that list

@the_true_odst

This block has been fixed.

@mod-squadacademy I am referring to a “Japanese” teahouse. It’s essentially a building that Japanese people could live in, kinda like the homes you would see in some Japanese shows and WWII movies about Japan and the United States. I can’t go into very much detail here, as I know only a little bit myself.

hi my name is gennesis i love yuo

@c In Gandi IDE, last time I checked (And this may now be out of date), only one user can edit a sprite at a time.

@tyller_ Ah, alright 🙂

Version 3.4!

Added: New particles to greenfell (now… I might’ve stolen from the duck a little…)
Bug Fixes: You wouldn’t be able to click the duck whilst in the shop
The duck would jitter so much if you close the tab, making the duck teleport out of viewport
Grenfell (or Greenfell, whatever you call that abomination) now doesn’t go out of fencing since he doesn’t use move to random now. 😄

have fun! or… don’t, whatever floats your boat!

If you want to, please tell me any bugs, Remix the game and try to debug them yourself in my horrible monstrous coding empire.

@info-creaticode I will later. It just would not play in World of Conquest, despite multiple tests done with no conditioning for the code to run (If else blocks, etc)

@jd131111 idk look at sir metry yts projects

@info-creaticode Ah ok

@c thank you

@dreamsmp_luck

Are you referring to this forum? If so, only yourself can see them and no one else.

You can try to verify by looking at other user’s profile pages.

@c I doubt it, it’s a personal computer controlled by my parents by they ARE trying to help me progress my coding career

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Nice!! 😄

@tyller_
You know, 1st person CreatiCode VR games isn’t a bad idea… I might try to build an open-source version. Not in school, of course…

@tyller_ That’s actually a pretty good idea, it fits more with the nature of Scratch and CreatiCode rather than my idea

@the_true_odst We may do that. By the way, if you want a PFP, there’s a Scratcher named TechVantage who for a limited time is offering high-quality Canva made PFP’s and banners.

@jd131111

Indeed, that’s a good feature to add. Thank you

Major feature added for UI:

Music and SFX volume sliders are now added, you may customize the volume for sound effects and music 😄

@the_true_odst Because if someone were to speed up the project using turbo mode it wouldn’t do anything, here’s an example project, the dog moves 5 per frame

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/67c9b516d2f890470312d57b

@info-creaticode It shows now. I think why it didn’t show before was because my internet may have been down (because it wouldn’t let me save, either)

@info-creaticode It seems to be fixed, probably just my internet, but its odd how it was glitching and wouldnt let me do anything for 5+ hours.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail ah alright

@011830-0a42ef84 https://play.creaticode.com/projects/679b952fe83001fc08dae8bb

Hiya! Welcome to CreatiCode Forums. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56 well you can somewhat do it, it lets them move off the veiwport (which is effectively the screen) even though it’s technically not no fencing it still just lets sprite move out of view of your camera, the only issue is you can move the veiwport and then the sprites that were offscreen can be seen at the edges fo the canvas, but if you don’t move the viewport and use variables for x y (so the canvas border doesn’t affect stuff) you can do that.

I do have a better project for an example of no fencing, instead of just using it to do a grid I use it to let zombie ai’s with a physics body move offscreen (it moves everything when the player moves) and there is no way to tell that they do technically hit hte canvas border’

edit: I think the project I sent was just a bad example cus I used canvas size only so zooming in a lot wouldn’t show you the edges of other blocks when you’re moving a bunch, the canvas size isn’t the size of your screen, it’s how big hte fencing is, canvas size is the fencing size and viewport is the screen size

@tyller_ We’ll look into it!

@011830-0a42ef84
You’re kind of right.
Yes, it should, only 1 problem.
You can’t

@mod-squadacademy-1bc96c56
You are right but technically, they take up the same amount of space in blocks.

(join(-)((abs(X)))

has join()(), and abs(), takes up 2 blocks

((abs(X))*(-1))

has abs() and ()*() (multiplication), takes up 2 blocks.

In math, --2 =2, —2 = -2, and so on. I guess it’s more of preference on which method to use. Your method is nice since it works with numbers only, but mine mixes strings (the “-”) and numbers which may be a bit weird even though it’s still interpreted as a number (just a negative one).

@jeffreyrb03-gmail you should use the save data for stuff, that lets you not let chatgpt do different words for different people (how infinite craft works) and would let you have it check if the word already has been used and tell people they were the first to make that word, plus it wouldn’t have the technical limit of databases

@info-creaticode Oh wait I know what you’re talking about, lol. I always use that but moreso for data retrieval and putting purposes, but I can make a copy of the table to display. This helps, thank you!
