Just having fun making and sharing tools and more, made in the Scratch programming language

👋 Hi! I'm DNin01.

I like:

• 🎮 Playing games
• 🎨 Being creative
• 🤝 Helping out

How did you get into coding?

My first serious programming began in Scratch. Despite being simplified, it's a pretty powerful tool and I enjoyed creating programs in it, and still use it today.

Now, I write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What are you great at?

• ✨ I think a lot about user experience. Whenever I make software or collaborate, I try to find ways to make things as easy to use as possible and look for small things that make a big difference.

What do you want to do in the future?

I dream of starting a company that makes software and tech products, and I'm already imagining what it could be like!

scratch-projects's Issues

Video Player Maker - Time display

Display the current time and video length below the progress bar.

e.g., 0:42 / 1:00

Video Player Maker - Support keyboard control

This project can only be controlled with the mouse right now. The next step is to add keyboard controls like Space to play/pause and ←→ to skip a few seconds.

Video Player Maker - Add audio seeking support

Technically, now it is possible to pause, resume, and seek through audio thanks to the AudioStream extension.

Video Player Maker - Pair with Wake Lock

The device shouldn't go to sleep while the project is playing a video.

TurboWarp got a Wake Lock extension since the creation of the video player maker, which is why I haven't added this yet.

Publish projects to GitHub Pages

What if the Scratch project data could be loaded via a URL?

In fact, TurboWarp actually has an optional URL parameter for a project source URL. That means one possibility this would open up is running the Scratch projects in this repository without any downloads.

Drag Across Windows - See if there's a better way to get list contents

I should've considered that the JSON extension has a block dedicated to getting list contents as an array, which might remove the need for the double-digit value workaround, which will be helpful for users.

Consider changing the repository license

Currently, the license for this repository's contents is Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0, which I chose because it matched the license used on projects shared to Scratch. But CC-BY-SA 2.0:

1. Is two major versions behind
2. Requires that adaptations be licensed under the same license terms

Since these projects aren't shared on Scratch and I am the rights holder of the Scratch projects here, it is within my discretion to set a different license than what we agree to use when publishing to Scratch. One option is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, which removes the need for derivative works to use the same license, which makes it possible to license work that uses them under a different, more desirable license, as I might if I were using them.

Speaking adapting and incorporating, I'm not a lawyer, but since Creative Commons licenses can be applied to parts of a work, my understanding is that by incorporating Scratch project code under a CC-BY license into yours, you would be able to set your own license for the rest of the contents, and also for the package as a whole, by simply stating which parts are under which license, as long as proper attribution and license labeling was given for others' works, so that, of course, others know what license each piece of the package is using. However, I'm confused about how that would work with a ShareAlike license, though I've heard that if you want to distribute such a project, the entire package might have to be licensed under the same ShareAlike license for it to be legal.

At least a non-ShareAlike license would make this much simpler.

As for usage in regular Scratch, not much would change as switching to CC-BY 4.0 would only grant more permissions, though most of the code is basically incompatible with Scratch (due to the use of TurboWarp-exclusive features) anyway.

Video Player Maker - Setting for the time measurement unit

A lot of TurboWarp project creators like that you can increase the framerate and may want to create video projects with custom framerates out of the box. However, that can get a little tricky when the video player engine tries to adapt to the modified framerate, by changing the progress per frame so it runs the same speed as it would at 30 FPS. It should be easier to change the measurement unit so your video timeline can be measured in, say, 1/60ths of a second or any other unit instead. This is especially helpful for framerates like 44 FPS that don't divide nicely by 30 FPS ($30 / 44 = 0.68181818181…$).

With this, you'd also be able to measure time with units other than frames, such as seconds!

Video Player Maker - Use Delta Time

This would allow the project to function when the framerate is set to 0 (automatic) in TurboWarp's advanced settings.

Video Player Maker - Use clipping to render progress bar

This would allow the meter to be placed on a transparent background. Should be easy enough with Meter and Slider.
