Promoting the Community of the Like-Minded
Each lucky owner of ScratchDuino.Robokit project constructor, be it a teacher or parents, with time starts to feel some disappointment: what is next? As a rule, their ideas of creating new projects quickly come to an end. However, if there is a place where you can show off your projects and get them commented, or watch the ready projects of other people, your creativity gets a new impetus. The Internet communities are just about that, and they resemble the thematic clubs where there are no differences caused by the age or the level of skills. For Project ScratchDuino, the place for such socializing is the Wiki portal wiki.scratchduino.com. In this section, we consider the recommendations for new members of this community.

At your personal page in the Editing mode, add a name of the page to place your project at. For this, you need to type in the name adherent to following conventions:
1) The name must begin with the word Project.
2) After a blank space, mention the nomination relevant to your project.
3) The name must be unique and not coinciding with the name of any other project. To ensure this, go to [[Category: Projects]] and check if the name is not used by anybody else.

==Description of the festival project==
Once in the era before the advent of computers and the Internet, children were playing Battleship on the slot machines. Now you can play its online version at this address http://morskoy-boy.15kop.ru/game/
We have created a semblance of the game. At the top of the screen, there are sail boats, while at the bottom of the screen there is a gun. The gun is moved by the left and right buttons on ScratchDuinoLab. When you press the upper button, the gun fires and the game pauses. When you press the lower button, the game continues. The game has several levels. Each level increases the speed of the ships. If you miss, your life shortens. At the background of the game the sea creatures are floating.

Rules on Discussing the Projects at wiki.scratchduino.com

The Festival is not a contest but a live exchange of ideas, findings, and ready projects, as well as a permanent search of the best ways to introduce the libre robotics. That is why, along with the number and the quality of the projects uploaded, the Expert Group will consider also the number and the quality of the discussions led by a participant.
The discussion is always a dialogue: one person puts questions and another person answers. If somebody has left a question for you at the Discussion tab (Fig. 65), or there are criticisms or ideas offered to make your project better, it is considered a good practice to thank for the question and give a detailed answer, to agree with a criticism or retort against it, to consider and accept (decline) the suggestions.
Fig. 65. The Discussion tab
at the page of project portfolio .
To not reduce the discussion to just a mutual exchange of emoticons or rather meaningless sentences like “Great!” or “Cool!”, we would suggest a “3-2-1” strategy. It means that you have to put THREE questions, give TWO criticisms, and offer ONE improvement. An example of a discussion following such strategy is shown in Fig. 67. On completing your message, click the Your signature and timestamp button. You will see a character string --~~~~. Then click the Save the page button.
You should be nice and polite with the people, especially as you are a perfect stranger for them. When discussing a project, avoid the harsh phrases like “Your stuff is nonsense!” in favour of something like “This idea needs certain refinement.” It is not easy to start developing a worthy project at once, and it is important to encourage the newbies. A friendly word can lend them wings!
Fig. 66. An example of a discussion page
in Editing mode .
You might begin your questions with:
· When? How? Where? Why?
· Is it right to believe that … ?
· What if … ?
· Is it possible to … ?
· At which line of the script … ?
· etc.
The advisable introductory phrases for your comments might be as follows:
· It would be better if …
· On clicking ..., … (point to a mistake that the author has not noticed)
· It’s a pity that ... is missing
· etc.
You should make your suggestions as if you are in the stead of the author. There is always a way of getting the project better. We are looking for the best solutions together, so any useful idea to help the author is welcomed.

The Expert Group of the Festival does not deal with the anonymous messages! Having your message complete, always click the button Your signature and timestamp.
