I go first !

Love formula

Cute. <3

I’ve made this one with a bunch of clones

Nice. We inherited a pretty amazing graphics capability from Scratch.

Very creative :+1:

You may test just broadcast with a longer glide.

Or stamping an image over array of clones

Oh wow, these are both super beautiful, and clever! Thank you <3

@loucheman You keep surprising us with your really nice projects.

Heart formula

Sharing my heart...

The materialization looked lovable to me, but it would have been more soothing to watch if it did not appear laggy. Tried warping, but it shifted from apparent to actual lag.

One thing that fixed it for me is using stamping instead of cloning. :slight_smile:

made some of my own changes, it runs quite a bit faster now and uses the touching block with some inverse pen trails. plus, easing!

edit 1: also, you can hit space to regenerate the heart shape, if needed for whatever reason
edit 2: okay, made another good change. after the clones ease into their size, they paste onto the stage to keep the clone count low. (not stamping, due to the pen trail detection)

Were the clones causing a problem? Because if the clones aren’t executing code, I don’t think that would slow down the process…

it’s mostly so more blocks can be rendered, because with 80 clones being made for each of the (however many) blocks (with roughly 10-20 actually being used), there’s a good chance that without the pasting and deleting, the majority of the blocks at the end just wouldn’t be created due to clone cap

Thank you for improving on my project. I thought will only see that design only look adequate.

Originally, I chose to use clones because I was going to animate them moving to the edge of the heart, but it was just a bug that caused the blocks to not appear in clusters (it avoided touching the white text of other blocks). I scrapped that idea after I found out it is not necessary to do that for the blocks to form more of a heart.

There are 22 distinct costumes that will be used. Multiply by 80, which is the theoretical maximum for each block, and the answer is 1760. The clone limit in Snap! is 5000. 63 costumes might kill the project at 5040 clones.

ah, sorry, still used to Scratch for the most part.
still, in my mind it just feels like the right thing to do, for whatever reason.

either way, the clone limit is at least 300 (that’s scratch’s limit) so you still have a bit of wiggle room


also, these projects are super cool! happy valentine’s day everyone :]
