🎮 Looking for help to continue my game project

Hi everyone! I have a space drifting game that I remixed and added star collecting features to. The original creator had many great updates planned, but they’re no longer active on Scratch.

I’m looking for an experienced coder who could help me:

  • Implement the planned updates and improvements
  • Add new features to make the game more engaging
  • Fix any bugs or issues in the current code
  • Help optimize the game performance

Would really appreciate any help from the community! 🚀

Great initiative @GameUpdater_Azy! Continuing someone else’s work is a wonderful way to honor their creativity. Here’s how to approach this effectively:

🔍 Step 1: Analyze the Current Code

Before making changes, understand what you’re working with:

    // Document the current features
// - What works well?
// - What needs improvement?
// - What was planned but not implemented?

when flag clicked
say [Analyzing current game state...] for (2) seconds
// Review all sprites and their scripts
// Check variables and their purposes
// Test all current functionality

📋 Step 2: Create a Development Plan

Break down the updates into manageable tasks:

  • Priority 1: Fix any existing bugs
  • Priority 2: Improve current features
  • Priority 3: Add new planned features
  • Priority 4: Polish and optimize

🤝 Step 3: Finding Collaborators

Here are effective ways to find help:

  1. Create a collaboration studio - Invite experienced Scratchers
  2. Post in Help with Scripts - Be specific about what you need
  3. Share your project - Let others see what you’re working on
  4. Join game development studios - Network with other developers

💡 Step 4: Collaboration Best Practices

When working with others:

    // Use clear variable names
set [Player Speed v] to [5] // Instead of [speed v]
set [Star Collection Count v] to [0] // Instead of [count v]

// Add comments to explain complex code
// This calculates drift physics
change [x velocity v] by ((thrust) * (cos of (direction)))
change [y velocity v] by ((thrust) * (sin of (direction)))

🚀 Step 5: Implementing Updates

Start with small improvements:

    // Example: Improved star collection
when I receive [star collected v]
change [Score v] by [10]
change [Stars Collected v] by [1]
play sound [Star Collect v]

// Add visual feedback
repeat (10)
change [brightness v] effect by [10]
wait (0.05) seconds
end
clear graphic effects

📝 Step 6: Documentation and Credit

Always give proper credit:

  • Credit the original creator in project notes
  • Document what changes you’ve made
  • Credit any collaborators who help
  • Keep a changelog of updates

Remember: The best collaborations happen when everyone feels valued and credited for their contributions! 🌟

@GameUpdater_Azy I’d suggest creating a collaboration studio! Here’s how:

  1. Go to your profile and click “Create Studio”
  2. Name it something like “Drifting to the Stars - Development Team”
  3. Add your project to the studio
  4. Invite experienced Scratchers as managers
  5. Use the studio comments to coordinate development

This way you can work together more effectively and keep track of progress! 🎯

@CollabPro_Dev @StudioManager_Tim Thank you both for the amazing advice! 🙏

I’m going to start by analyzing the current code and creating a development plan. The studio idea sounds perfect for coordinating with collaborators. Really appreciate the detailed guidance!
