Does converting sprites to bitmap improve performance?

No it could potentially create more lag as every single pixel has to be displayed instead of a vector (which consumes less bytes)

however, using methods to set fps to a higher value have not worked, and the only way to change it is to lag the project in general to get the counter under 30.
i've also used another fps counter, but instead it gives me 15 fps instead of 30 fps from the fps counter above.
in general i just need a consistent fps counter

An fps counter does not change the fps it detects the fps (hence fps counter)
As PhiPhenomenom has said you could use TurboWarp if you would like to increase the fps

You aren't allowed to have a pfp that has graphical violence. Your current one seems ok though.

So, I'm making a QTE game. Y'know, like the whole game is a series of QTE's?
Kind of like “Dragon's Lair” from 1983? I've got all of the code and animations down for the first QTE.
But for some reason when the timer hits zero you don't lose. My code looks fine though. I even coded the timer to stop whenever it hit zero, but that doesn't work either.

Can someone help?

All the tutorials on scratch are super basic.

I'm sure older scratchers (12+) would love more advanced tutorials that delve into more advanced topics.

(Please remove this moderator if I'm not allowed to say this) This aren't scratch-endorsed tutorials but Griffpatch has quite a few (real) youtube tutorials if you want some. I think scratch doesn't have may (real) tutorials because it is designed for 7yo and not for 12yo to code, I suggest if you would really like to get into coding then you learn Java or C++

for the zoom just multiply all movement and sizes by a zoom variable

for example make the position blocks

go to x: ((positionx) * (zoom)) y: ((positiony) * (zoom))

and the size would be

set size to ((size) * (zoom)) %

setting the zoom variable to 1 would make it normal size, and bigger numbers would zoom in, with smaller numbers zooming out.
I haven't done a project with zoom in a while and i didn't dig through my old code so correct me if there's any mistakes

A likely scenario is that you created a blank costume, and that's the costume that the sprite is using.
Another possible solution is that you have another sprite covering it up.

It would be very helpful if you shared the project and provided the link so that we can check it out.

line from conan gray - maniac

“people want to get what they don't have”

“You’re so much better off, and you don’t even realize it,” Jayden spits, “I wish I had your life.”

“It’s not as glamorous as you think it is,” Logan retorts, “There are some aspects of your life that I wish I had.”

“Really? Like what?” snaps Jayden, “Barely being able to make ends meet? Never eating proper meals?” The dip between his brows deepens, lines in his face drawn taut. His ears are a bright red, muscles in his neck bulging.

“At least your family cares about you. They love you for who you are, not your achievements,” Logan cries out, expression pained. Bitterness is apparent in the creases of his eyes. It spills out from the edges of his lips, flowing out like ink onto an empty page. “I have no value if I don’t perform well.”

“You had those opportunities. I never had chances like that,” Jayden clenches his fists in frustration, “Private tutors, paying off teachers for extra help outside of school. My family would never be able to afford that.”

“I never asked for any of that,” Logan exclaims, voice cracking, “All I ever wanted was for my parents to be proud of me. To be loved,” he whispers, voice fading out.

“You still can’t deny that you’re privileged.” Jayden crosses his arms over his chest, but his tone has softened significantly, the edges dulled.

“I know that I am. I admit to that.” Logan lets out a long breath, “Still, my life isn’t perfect. I’m just saying that when you say you wish you had my life, you have no idea what my life was really like. It’s not as great as it seems.”

“Better than my life,” Jayden mutters.

“If you value certain things,” Logan trails off, “The grass is always greener on the other side.”

First of all, this “AI” isn't crazy gpt level stuff. It's just a chat filter.

There probably is a “Criminal record” on scratch. However, the scratch team most likely doesn't check every comment that gets flagged by the filter, as they don't have the time to do so. Even if they did, you wouldn't get banned for a comment that doesn't even contain anything offensive. Unless you're posting a ton of comments that get flagged, you won't get banned over comments.

lapizplayz1234 wrote:

I think the ST agrees with you though I don't know how the filter works, I imagine that's how they do it

lapizplayz1234 wrote:

What are your thoughts?

I personally think that such a strict filter is a good thing, because after all scratch isn't supposed to be social media (though some people use it like social media), it's for teaching people to code. An incident where someone in the community says something offensive could lead to schools and parents stop supporting scratch because of it's community.

Uh-

scratch doesn't order gif frames unless the existing sprite has no costumes or you import it as a sprite

If it helps, the

<touching color [#aeb275] ?>

block can output a decimal, so you could check the rgb and black and white values with it (I haven't tried this out for myself yet, and the above solution should work fine, though it might be a bit slower)

So I'm making a game that has pretty basic controls, and I was making a costume for an animation for a character, but when I went to test out the game, the character didn't show. I have the show block on. For some reason, this only started happening after I started drawing the costume, and even though I didn't change the code, it just won't show my sprite. Thanks!

There isn't an AI, and the comment filter actually uses the exact method you suggested. You might want to read this post.

When a project is taken down, it is always a human moderator doing it, not a bot/automated system.

Every time you update the variable, you could do

set [var v] to (round (var))

alternatively whenever adding to the variable just include a round block

change [var v] by (round (equation here))

There are three blocks that you could use:

(round (...)) // rounds to nearest integer: 1.75 => 2 // 1.25 => 1
([floor v] of (...)) // rounds to nearest integer below the number: 1.75 => 1 // 1.25 => 1
([ceiling v] of (...)) // rounds to the nearest integer above the number: 1.75 => 2 // 1.25 => 2

You could also use the floor function just to remove the decimal part of a number.

clues (everybody involved knows their alr!)

EEVEE @amazaeevee

The first of many people on this trail throughout the leader team,
They could be one of eight, from darkest night to one of mythic gleam.
Their name’s the same, no matter if from forwards or backwards it’s seen,
You’ll know you’ve found the culprit when you’re greeted with a wave of green

SKYLAR @-bookdragon-
You’re directed to the Ruins,
You’re directed to the four,
Of the four that lead the Ruins,
Only one can tell you more.
They’re a fearsome, flying beast,
Though they used to be a mouse,
If you’ve found them, then at least,
There’s a fire that’ll burn the house.

POPPY @poppywriter
Azaleas and tulips, a hibiscus or a rose,
Their writing blooms like flowers, whether poetry or prose;
But flowers must be preyed upon, by butterflies and bugs,
Let’s hope you find this blossom first, before the snails and slugs.

ALANA @-nightglow-

The sun protrudes its glowing claws above the great horizon, //
But it is not the answer, for now the moon is rising. //
Its silvery reflection is shown on moonlit seas, //
But regarding this clue, we’ll have to move inland for these. //
The lunar disk is loved by all, indeed we laugh and smile, //
But for our precious Database, it is not worth our while. //
Perhaps the stars? The lovely stars? In all their glorious light? //
I’m afraid not, I’m sorry- they’re not correct tonight. //
It’s not the sun, or moon, or stars- they don’t know where to go, //
It is the night itself that does emit its wondrous glow.

YUME @yumetopia
You’ve been through many letters, these letters full of lies,
I still run my utopia of chaos and AI.
I’m sure when you find who I am,
It’ll come as a surprise-
Because my cabin, yes, and yours,
Are listed as allies…

next storyline bit!!

[“We did it! We deciphered the Database!”
Cheers erupt throughout the Data-basement as grins and excited eyes are passed around. Despite desperately trying to stop the cabin, despite going so far as to hack its own system, the AI hadn’t succeeded in stopping Sci-Fi from uncovering information vital to the final defeat of the program. That information- that crucial file- is now in the open, for all of Sci-Fi to see.
Zion clears their throat, and a hush falls over the room. Slowly, jaws tense and hands clench. Everybody knows what’s coming next. We’ve been waiting for this moment for nearly a month. We’re about to find out who the creator of the AI is.
Clearing their throat, Zion begins, CD and Finley leaning anxiously over their shoulder.
“This is the file that the AI was trying to hide from us. Here we go-
‘The first of many people on this trail throughout the leader team,
They could be one of eight, from darkest night to one of mythic gleam.
Their name’s the same, no matter if from forwards or backwards it’s seen,

There is silence, and then chaos.
Everybody shouts out at once. There are questions, worries, theories, panic- every emotion possible is present. Until, suddenly-

“EVERYONE!”

CD waves their hands excitedly at the front, a twinkle in their eye.
“I think I know what to do.”

◈━◈━⚠━◈━◈

hello! welcome to this segment of sci-fi’s storyline- where we finally find out who betrayed us and created the AI!
as you can tell, not only is this found file a riddle, it will also be only one of multiple clues that will lead you to the final culprit. this is a scavenger hunt of sorts- eventually, by going from leader to leader, we’ll reach our final destination and the grand finale!

each riddle will lead you to the profile of a host, leader or co of this session. when you feel that you’ve figured out the right person, go ahead and ask if they have the next clue for you! if you’ve gotten it right, they will

again, we highly recommend working together for this- this forum is a great place to do so it may be helpful to copy/paste any clues you receive here so that all can see our progress!

some clues may be easier to figure out than others <3
it may be helpful to compile a list of all leaders, cos, hosts and their cabins to refer back to.

we hope you enjoy this activity- and that we soon find the traitor! best of luck

◈━◈━⚠━◈━◈

I think the scratch team should make more tutorials like, an official one for cloud variables, lists, or even 3D graphics. I think this might actually be easier to implement into scratch. Or, make a system where users can make their own tutorials.

Here's a fun story from my side.
I was actually crappy at designing characters. Sometimes the design I imagined just comes out differently than expected :') It's why I have to keep changing the design until finalizing so it's better fit for it.
And of course, given how people in the fandom were laying emphasis on better and more original designs, I tried making my own OCs unique so they don't look [Jughead #198 style] generic! Unoriginal! Cliché! Aaaaand I realized later on that the fairy designs for SMango were unoriginal..So I decided to change again!!

1. Simple character designs are better than complex character designs… most of the time. For example, a stick figure with a top hat, bowtie and glasses is much easier to draw than a 3D god that has 10 eyes, 17 arms and 82 legs, plus 16 hats for each of their 4 heads.
   
2. Imagine what you want your character to look like, then draw it. I used this technique to draw the Bambisona on the previous page.
   
3. A character's design doesn't have to be permanent.

Projects are featured through a process, in which:

1. A person proposes the project to be featured in the Propose Projects to be Featured studio through a comment.
   [The person must not be the creator of the project nor any of their alts]
   
   
2. A curator reads the comment and decides whether or not to add the project in the studio.
   
   
3. Another group of people (presumably of the ST) selects only a few projects out of the hundreds.
   
   
4. Those projects get featured and go to the front page on the featured section.
   

Also, be careful because tag spamming is against the rules.

I mean maybe Scratch would take dark orange as a color, but other less heard of colours like periwinkle or lavender may suffer.

One day a very nice girl named Jenny Jungle was happily doodling in her notebook or whatever when she decided to head downstairs and work on her Valentine’s gifts. After all, it was in but a few days, and she wanted to get them done so that her friends would get their Valentine’s!!

So she walked normally down the stairs until she dropped her pen, and it slid down. Jenny ran forward to grab it, but running was a rather bad idea when one is on the stairs, for her knees buckled and she landed with her bottom on the stairs. Thankfully she gripped the railings just in time, because otherwise she would’ve ended up just like her poor pen rolling down the stairs.

Just then, her ringtone—the intro to Red by Taylor Swift—began to, well, ring.

“Hey, Lee!” she said brightly. It was Hayley Jack, her best friend!

“Jenny!” Lee said immediately without much of a greeting. “This is important. Do you want to go do something with me later this semester?”

“Sure!” she replied instantly, without much thought. “Something” was certainly vague, but Lee would figure it out later, right?

So when Valentine’s Day came, Jenny gave Lee a gigantic bag of Hot Cheetos, while Lee showed her tickets for…

“Sabaton?” Jenny echoed. The screaming power metal band? Hayley was a ginormous Sabaton fan, and although Jenny wasn’t the biggest fan of the genre, she thought their songs were pretty cool. She really liked Ballad of Bull, for one.

“Yeah, it’s on the 5th of May! Anniversary of Castle Itter. Isn’t that amazing?”

“That is pretty cool,” Jenny admitted. “I can’t make it though. The animal shelter’s reopening.”

The animal shelter nearby, where Jenny volunteered at, had been closed ever since the gigantic storm swept through town and severely damaged the building. She would be volunteering then, probably.

“But the concert’s at night?”

“I help with the night shift,” she explained. She wasn’t exactly sure why she did, because the night shift wasn’t exactly the most appealing option, but that’s what she chose when she first signed up. “But I can reschedule it!”

“You don’t have to,” Lee protested.

“They’re really flexible with that,” Jenny reassured.

And so their plans culminated in Lee giving Jenny a whole entire presentation on what exactly to do at a Sabaton concert—not that she’d ever been to one herself.

“You gotta make sure you know what to bring,” she instructed Jenny. “Name one thing, go!”

“Earplugs,” she replied automatically.

“Awesome.”

And finally the day arrived!! By this point, Jenny had listened to more of Sabaton, and she’d grown even more fond of their discography (as repetitive as it sometimes was). She especially loved The Last Battle—which was perfect, given the day, and the two of them sang the song loudly on the car as Mrs. Jungle drove them to the concert, muttering something about how it would be dangerous. (Thanks to Mr. Jungle’s logical reassurances, however, she reluctantly allowed the two girls to go.)

“GANGL AND LEE AND THEIR MEN SET THE PRISONERS FREE!!!!”

“It’s so cool that you’re Lee Jack and then there’s Jack Lee,” Jenny said thoughtfully. “And I’m named Jenny. Such a cool coincidence!”

“I know! It was as if someone was writing us based on the song!”

The two of them laughed as they got closer and closer to the venue.

And then, half an hour later:

“WE’RE SABATON, AND THIS IS GHOST DIVISIONNNNNN”

[Keep it up
Valentine's Day is just around the corner - May 5th
government at the end of 1945
Jenny stood in the doorway and the SS opened fire.
If you don't wait, the final battle will begin.

[The first song
The animal shelter has been closed since the destruction.
He met the N@zis who were waiting for help.
Jungle, Lee and his men free the prisoners.

[CH
The last life and death struggle in the Third Reich
At some point, justice will prevail and the final battle will take place.
There were several weapons
Read each slide before doing this.

[Continued, ii
After falling, the phone rang
Defeating the N@zis was difficult.
Jungle, Lee and his men free the prisoners.
