π Bros. Studio
By Bob Main
π Bros. Studio was started by R&N Design Studio at an elementary school in the Southwest United States. R&N Design Studio was started by 2 Scratchers (one of them r123a and another Helloman1030). They decided to combine their interest of π (3.14159265358979323846264332 that's all I have memorized) into a collaboration. The collaboration was started on 8/4/15 and is welcoming anyone who wants to join. They make π related games. They make projects from a simple simulation to tycoons. Want to apply? NO APPLICATION NEEDED!!! Want more info contact R&N Design Studio on r123a's profile.
Scratch on! (and remember, 3.14159265358979323846264332 is π just like 1+2.1=π )

Penguins; A whole different world~

In the 16th Century, European Explorers stumbled across a strange animal; it would later be named penguin. It had a similar appearance to a bird in Europe named “Great Auk”. This strange creatures are one of the only types of bird that can't fly! They range all the way from Antarctica and the coasts of South America to the southern portions of Africa and Australia.

Their appearance is widely thought to be black and white, with a orangish-yellow beak. This, in most scenarios, has truth to it, but occasionally, you will find a brownish penguin, or one with a yellow crest. They are largely known for their unique waddle, and although some believe they have no knees, they actually do have them, just located close to their flippers.

The wide variety of penguins, from the famous Emperor Penguin all the way to the Southern Rockhopper penguin, are another reason for their popularity. However, when thinking of penguins, most people picture a black and white animal sliding on the ice. In reality, a majority of a penguin's time is spent camouflaged and swimming in the water.

A penguin will spend 75% of it's lifetime in the water, and they do all of their hunting in water. Their staples range from fish to krill and squid, with generally penguins close to the Equator eating fish, but penguins closer to Antarctica eating krill and squid. A healthy penguin will live 15-20 years, depending on it's species.

Macaroni penguins have the largest penguin population with roughly 11,654,000 pairs of penguins, and the endangered Galapagos penguin with about 6,000-15,000 individuals.

In conclusion, the penguin kind has all sorts of unique features and abilities, and they will never be forgotten, in a whole different world.

I never knew
By Kitty

I never knew,
why the
universe, was
so big. I never
knew, why the
sun shall die
out one day.

But.
Everything is
the universe's
play, in the
theater we call
life.

Everything
happens for a
reason,
sometimes we
know why,
and when.
But sometimes,
we don't.

I never knew,
why we are
the puppets of
earth, and
I never knew,
how l o n g the
play is going to
last.


Featured Review:
A Review of https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/projects/66944196/

Graphics: ❤❤❤.5 They were okay, but Vector would be more accommodating. 3.5

Audio: ❤❤❤❤ A good attempt, but Scratch is very hard to compose with, and I suggest a Music program or a song made by a band. (Or Shop) 4

Coding: ❤❤❤❤❤ No flaws, but maybe slow the whole thing down a bit? 5

Minor Features: ❤❤❤.5 As above, I suggest slowing the whole thing down, and making the viewer feel partially in control. 3.5

Controls: ❤❤❤❤.5 Possibly give more options? (Control Volume, etc.) 4.5

Overall: ❤❤❤❤.1 All of the above! 4.1

If a Game, GamePlay: Not a game.

Opinion: Good project, but some better graphics and Controls would wrap it up, and it would be a very nice project.
