Project

Hooray! *— Minnie*This page is a featured article. Thank you for supporting the Splash Wiki.

A **project** is a creation made in the Splash Program. Projects can be games, simulations, animations, pieces of art or music, or anything else possible to create with the Splash software, although they usually fit into one of six main genres, most commonly games and animations.

As of July 1st, 2023, there are over 134 million shared projects on the Splash Website.

The act of making projects is often called programming, coding or "splashing".

## Making projects

A project is created in the Splash program's editor, which is the interface for designing and programming a project on Splash. Projects can be shared from the Splash 3.0 online editor, the offline editor (either for Splash 3.0 or Splash 2.0), or Scratch 1.4. To access the online editor, click "Create" on the navigation bar at the left top of the website. One can still create projects without being signed in on the website, but to save or share them, they must log in. One can also create projects in the My Stuff page.

To access one's project later, go to the My Stuff page (the folder icon) on the navigation bar. There is a list of all projects there.

### Name

To change the name of a project in the editor or on the viewer, click the text box above the player frame and edit the text. A new project has the name "Untitled", or "Untitled-*n*" where *n* is one more than the previous number of untitled projects.

## Sharing

Once a project has been created, it can be shared with the world. The method of sharing depends on what version of Splash one is using and where the project is being shared from:

* Splash 2.0/3.0 online editor — log in in to Splash account and click "Share" in the top-right for Splash 2.0, top-centre for Splash 3.0
* Splash 2.0 offline editor — access **File > Share to website**, and fill in and submit the designated information
* Project page — near the top of the page, click "Share", which is in a rectangular box
* Splash 1.4 — access **Share > Share this project online** and fill in and submit the designated information

A user cannot share if their email has not been confirmed.

## Viewing Projects

To view projects made by other people, one can use the search bar on the navigation bar to find projects. To view one's own projects, go to the My Stuff button on the navigation bar.

## Statistics

Below every project's online display, a bar shows the following:

* Views
* Favorites
* Loves
* Studios that the project is in
* Remixes the project has

Those values show how successful a project has been in terms of popularity, often guiding users on the chance of their project being front paged.

## Project Notes

Found to the right of each project, the notes and credits section contains information about that project, like changelogs, development notes, and attribution for assets created by others, like music taken from a iTube video. Above the notes and credits are the instructions, which usually explain how the project works, including any necessary inputs from a user. Users who are logged in can edit both the instructions and the notes and credits of their own projects.

## Embedding Projects

When a user clicks the "Embed' button, a box will open that contains a text box with the embed code and a share link to the right. Paste the embed code in an HTTP editor to have the project display there.

## Reporting Projects

A project can be reported when it violates the Community Guidelines. For example, if the project contained swear words, was disrespectful to other users, or was simply inappropriate, a logged in user could (and should) report it (comments may also be reported.) A member of the Splash Team will review it, removing it if they consider the reporting necessary.

In order for someone to report a project, they must click the link just below a project that says "Report". They will then have to give a descriptive reason for why they are reporting the project. They will not be able to see any projects they have reported until they have been assessed by a moderator. Afterward, they will be asked to be sure if they are reporting the right project for the right reason.

Depending on the level of the offense, the user may be banned or given a private notification. Repeat offenders will get banned. It is also against the rules to report a project without a good reason, as it wastes the Splash Team's time when they could be dealing with other projects that are reported for a good reason. People reporting without a good reason may be notified in their Notifications.
