How do I remix a project I joined in 1924

Ah hai, how was it back in 1924?

What are the Scratch usernames of your grandchildren? Do they also like to code here?

It's the first time I'm meeting a 74-year old

when [ v] key pressed
repeat ()
say [This] for (2) secs
play sound [ v] until done

Developing an idea - The power of remixing

What is a remix?

According to the Scratch Wiki, “A remix is a modified and shared version of an uploaded project.” This means that a remix is taking an existing project, adding a unique spin and re-uploading it. Remixes can change anything from adding a small feature to adjusting something big in the project.

How do I remix?

To remix a project, open the desired project by another Scratcher and make a change in the code or art. Instead of the usual save button, there will be an orange “remix” button where the save button should be. Once you click this, your own copy of the project with the change is saved with the original title with the word remix at the end. You can continue to make changes, or click share. Make sure to give the original creator credit in the Notes and Credits of your project, link to the project (optional), and you're done!

Why should I remix?

Multiple reasons exist as to why you should remix; for instance, people in collaborations such as Phantom Shadows remix to add features to the project they are collaborating on. Another reason to remix could be debugging known bugs in the project of another Scratcher, or compressing their scripts. People may also remix to enter a competition such as a Colouring Contest. Finally, remixing is a great way to get familiar with what certain blocks do and other ways of doing things.

What makes a quality remix?

A “quality remix” can mean many different things to many different people. A quality remix could be adding a useful feature to a project, or making a spin-off of the project. If a lot of people are asking for a feature in the comments of a project, you could also remix to add that. Really, a quality remix is when you take a normal project, put your heart into it, add your unique voice to the project, and come out with a brand-new project. It's based on a different project but is it's own project, with its own project idea, with its own message.

What isn't a quality remix?

One thing that definitely is not a quality remix is if you take a project, remix it, and don't change anything. This goes against the Community Guidelines and is reportable. Why is this bad? Well, someone put their heart into the original project, just to see a million people copy it. But a lot of project creators love people to remix their projects to see how different people take their project and add a diversity of new things to it. So if you follow the tips above on what makes a quality remix, then you might even make the original project creator smile.

What should I do when I see a copied project?

When you see a copied project, a project which is an exact copy of another without anything being changed, you should report it to the Scratch Team, including a URL to the original project. Spamming the comments or being a vigilante about it doesn't help. However, you shouldn't report a remix if it is simply a recolor, or another person's art with different colors. Although recolors are generally frowned upon, they are allowed as long as credit is given, even if the original creator asked for no recolors of their art.

I hate it when scratchers remix something without changing anything it kinda sucks tbh
Edit: lol I remember once someone remixed one of my projects to steal my art… My guy backpack the art, anyway I told him to just credit me idc that much when ppl steal at this point. ik it's going to happen so I've kind of resigned myself to it at this point.
