I can't prevent lag if I don't know what's causing or creating the lag in the first place.

If I remember correctly, the “wait (0) secs” block is limited to 30 fps. This means that unless you use a custom block without screen refresh, or don't use a wait block, you're limited to 30fps. By no means is 30fps good, but people still make it work. You can use math to calculate the duration of an animation like this:

# of frames / frame rate for example if I have 30 frames at 30 fps: 30 / 30 = 1. This means that the duration of the animation will be 1 second.

I'm hoping that this is what you're talking about, but if it's not, then I need more information. Preferably the link to the game along with the detailed description of the problem along with what code do you suspect is causing it.

yeah this is what i'm talking about, thanks for the help!

looks amazing! if you dont mind me asking, where did you learn to draw?

thanks! I'm self-taught, I just like drawing so I do it a lot (well, sometimes - I haven't actually done much art recently)
I find Youtube channels like SamDoesArts helpful when it comes to learning technique, as well as watching speeddraws from other artists
learning some stuff about graphic design and web accessibility helps me think about contrast/balance (flip canvas and greyscale mode is a lifesaver /hyp)
the thumbnail (currently) is not my best example of this as I'm running on no sleep and drew it all in one sitting eheh

Well, i have this handy little list here of all of the ideas i could think of for all skill levels
Beginner

Platformer, just a very simple level based platformer game, it can assist in learning how to make gravity based things and have objects interact with other objects, only really basic theme i can think of is like ninja related or something, though you can do what you want with it

Puzzle game, you could do a point and click style puzzle game, like an escape room or something, it would allow you to get better at having something happen when multiple conditions are set, you could do like a dungeon theme or lab style thing with this one

Intermediate
Tower defense, this is something that seems extremly simple, but it is kinda interesting and difficult when you actually try to make it, this can give you a better understanding of lists and custom blocks, you could theme it around a forest or laboratory

Bootleg AI evolution, this is a subject i have gone through a lot, its pretty cool and kinda interesting to watch, i named this bootleg because it doesn’t use the conventional method of having a neural network, you could see an example that i made if you want to check it out, i dont know much of a theme but i do cars a lot for this, if you want to challenge yourself you could do rag dolls

Expert i do not fall in this category, my ideas might be a little rough for this one
Physics engine, we know them, we love them, and they are very hard to code, this is generally a cool thing to make and since it always gets a lot of bugs it is really good for learning how to code stuff like this better, softbody physics are also pretty cool to do

A 3d game, this might be a little tough to make, but it is possible, you could do this

An Actual Neural Network Based Ai Evolution, yes, that is correct, you could try to make an ai evolution project with an actual neural network, i tried and failed, you can do it

Scroller platformer, this is something that might not seem that difficult, but its kinda hard to get stuff to move off screen without turbo warp, but this is just a platformer but the screen moves with the player and stays centered on the player so instead of you moving, the map itself is moving, dont really know any theme for this

And don't say anything related to a cookie clicker

Hey there, I’ve got you, here’s the list of things i had put in a previous post, its just some general stuff for all skill levels

Beginner
Clicker game, this is a basic and very commonly done thing, but it is where i also started my coding adventure and it gives a great understanding of most of the variables and math blocks, some theme ideas could be like space related or food

Platformer, just a very simple level based platformer game, it can assist in learning how to make gravity based things and have objects interact with other objects, only really basic theme i can think of is like ninja related or something, though you can do what you want with it

you can show your face on your yt if you are comfortable with it it will not matter when linking to it on scratch.

no if you link have your face on your yt, you'd be linking content that violates cg by having a face reveal.

as long as your face isn't the main point of the video, it's allowed

If it's not directly a face reveal but it shows your face, then it's fine.

Source: Try reporting a project for it being a face reveal (but don't send the report) and see what it says.

Bingo-

if you look closely, it says ‘scratch allows people to use their face in creative projects, just not a face reveal on it’s own. Your face on your yt would be similar,as long as you're not just posting a random video of your face and nothing else.

So im working on this puzzle platformer game kinda inspired by nihilumbra where you have a bunch of colors that you can paint onto the surfaces like walls floors and ceilings and each color has a different effect. I’m trying to implement both complicated puzzles you have to solve along with the ability to speedrun the game and try to get good times on each level. I ran out of ideas for puzzles. Here is a link to the project, all of the color effects are in the instructions, also pink is a color that just kills you, you cant add or remove it. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/985673186

I really dont like adding project links in forums that aren’t show and tell, i have a feeling at some point somebody is going to get mad and think im trying to advertise or get views or something

For more details: I wouldn't say this is an “appeal,” more so just a request. If the studio host of a popular studio community seems to be banned (or just inactive in general), you can use Contact Us to ask the Scratch Team to change the host of the studio. I think they might ask for evidence of a few managers of the studio approving the choice of the new host, since this is a major change.

New host would probably be a manager, but yes, valid points.

Thanks for sending that.

Back to the OP's suggestion: I'm wondering if the Scratch Team's tag spam policy is unclear. From various posts on the forums, it seems that action has not been taken on many projects which tag spam. It may be a good idea for them to officially clarify the policy. Even better would be to change the tag system altogether (perhaps back to how things were in 2.0). But those are different suggestions.

For the time being, I'd like to gently remind everyone that, at the end of the day, tag spam is not a huge issue. Sure, if someone asks whether they should tag spam, you should discourage them from doing it. But don't stress yourself out over reporting lots of projects that tag spam.

Preview 3 Devlog 2:

Been working on Reps and Burnout recently. Here's what I've been working on:

• Reps has a new sfx
  
• Reps now has sfx acceleration, so the more reps you continually do, the faster the sfx will play.
  
• Reps will no longer bug out when you adjust the slider, and the slider is also a little intelligent.
  
• Burnout will now have 3 digits
  
• To make room for the third digit, Burnout is dynamic, meaning the digits will make room for each other.
  
• Fixed a couple bugs relating to Dictation and Audio settings
  

Rather visual changes. Expect a final Preview 3 devlog tomorow or sometime soon, and the update in the coming days! The next devlog should be a little more interesting, I promise!

how about you make each digit smaller to make space so you can add infinite digits

Hi! This is a super cool studio, and has a really unique theme https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/34836247 :-)

Hmm. If you asked “Am I allowed to spam on my own profile,” I would discourage that. In some cases, spamming even in your own space can be problematic (for example, it could encourage others to spam, on your profile or elsewhere).

But it seems you are asking what to do if you find someone else spamming on their own profile. Honestly, I would probably just ignore it. You could probably report it, and if you did, the user may get an alert, but I wonder what that would really be accomplishing. This doesn't seem like an offense major enough to get reported. But this is just my personal opinion.

Order Type: Bug Fixing
Order Details: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/988741007/

In the project, the player can split into small blobs but the player will become smaller, just like agar.io. The problem with the game is that when the player itself collides with the enemy (not counting the blobs), the code wouldn't detect it and it will only do so if the player is not colliding with the enemy. Note that the blobs are like bullets and can kill enemies but they will disappear by doing so. The “ETBs” list is meant to collect the “my etb” variable from the clone which detects if the clone itself is colliding with the enemy. It should have more values but only have 1 for some reason.

Time Zone: UTC +8 (Malaysia Time)
Other: Take your time completing this order, it might take a long time to fix the bugs.

Ever hear of the board game “Clue”? It's a murder mystery board game for ages 8+ that doesn't get into the graphic details of the murder; it just explains who did it, where they did it, and what weapon they used.

I think if you make your murder mystery game similar to Clue, it should be fine for Scratch. Try not to get into the details of the murder.

wait, if there’s GLaDOS, then surely there must be a Wheatley- /j

I would post some new revamps and stuff here, but the photos are like 4000p wide and that’s massive, according to scratch, so, uh, I might post more later.

when green flag clicked

say [Lunch time!  Pizza time!!!]

If I posted on this thread with only the above script and nothing else, that would also be considered spamming, even if I only posted this one time. The reason is because the above script does not answer your question or contribute anything relevant to the discussion. So “spamming” doesn't always need to be something posted repeatedly.

Another example is those “chain mail” spam messages you probably see sometimes; the ones that are like “Hold your breath for 10 seconds, then say E three times, then copy and paste this comment to 10 projects for good luck,” or whatever kids are saying these days. Even if you post this sort of comment one time, it is still considered spam. Yet another example would be text art in a comment.

Below is the JSON text created from your project. To save this you must click on it then press Ctrl+A to select all, then Ctrl+C to copy it. Paste this into a text editor or one of the scratch forums to keep it safe!
{“objName”:“Stage”, “children”: [{“objName”:“project” ,“variables”: ,"

Just asks stuff lol

If one reports comments, the messages for them will be removed. However, I have found a scenario.

A user has 3 new Messages. They are all spam. The user decides to report all of them. Then, they see that there still three new Messages! However, since the messages from the reported comments are gone, the 3 next most recent messages are “new”.

—— critique for @essayist

Hi Finley! It only takes a few paragraphs for me to tell that this is a very poignant (and well-written) piece. Since you asked for general critique, I’ll try to stick to that. However, I did have a few line-by-line suggestions that I’ll share first.

“Before chaos threw it’s cape,
I used to wear my own. “
– Chaim

“It’s” there doesn’t need the apostrophe. I just want to say, though, that I loved the way the cape symbolism was apparent from the very beginning of this piece. It’s very intriguing.

Confining us in a room with thousands, controlling our minds and our every action; robbed all our chances.

I understood upon a second read that two things listed in the beginning “robbed all our chances,” but it did confuse me at first. This is just personal opinion, but you could consider changing this to “and robbing us of all our chances,” to fit the list of three.

Giving no chance to say goodbye to the life we’d always known, we bore witness to all our overwhelming emotions.

This is also a little confusing, and I’m not sure if the grammar is entirely correct.

“Mama may allow us to walk in the field !”. So naive, Chaim was, as if Mama would let us step foot outside.

There’s a little punctuation mishap after the quotation. Also, the “naive” part seems a bit repetitive. Is that intentional?

Ahh I love this piece! The imagery is beautiful, and all the symbolism is so well-done. I agree with you, the chemistry between your main characters is really good. However, I felt like in some places it could’ve benefited from being a little less vague. I couldn’t really tell until the author’s note that they were siblings (and not love interests oop-), and the last few paragraphs seemed a little confusing to me. Overall though, I really loved it. It’s like word cake and it was delicious. (Excellent job with word choice, can you tell it was my favorite part?) Thank you so much for letting me critique this piece. I hope any of these tips were helpful. <3

See, I’m making a murder mystery game and it’s taking a lot of time and effort! The thing I’m concerned about is if I’m allowed to share it. No, I am not adding graphics of violence or weapons like I did in the past. But I am adding mention of a character having been murdered such as stabbed, killed. So, I’m here asking if that’s okay with the scratch team and if it’s okay for a younger audience. Thanks!

If you have windows, you can easily change the color of your cursor by following a tutorial posted by microsoft:

“Make your mouse more visible by changing the color and size of the mouse pointer. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Ease of Access > Cursor & pointer”

Then again, this is not a question for scratch and may be best fit on another forum. You can also make a comment on the youtuber's video asking them how they were able to make their cursor that color. Better yet, this problem can be solved with a simple google search. Something like "How do I change my mouse cursor color?" should work

Sure,do you want me to make it or you. (I have to finish a project and I'll get back to you.
