Me who cant even code a catching game without a tutorial everytime i try: "This is easy!" *tries it* "Damn."
Sorry if I make no sense sometimes. I'm working on being more helpful :)
@@donut_aski know this was 5 months ago, but they werent saying _you_ made no sense, they just said they think making a game is easy without a tutorial but then fail to do it cause you can never do anything wrong :DDDDDDD
WOW these hacks will heavily improve my gamemaking skills!
Great video as usual! I agree with everything you said! Also awesome shirt! The only thing is I think duplicating small sprites is not that bad. Code and sprites usually don't take up much space. But, But if you have a lot of detailed costumes or long music tracks, that actually can cause a lot of load time and crashes. There still needs to be more research on this whether bitmap or vector costumes are worse, wav or mp3 are worse, etc. But a small amount for typical projects should be fine. Just be mindful whenever you use a detailed costume or music track. You can also look inside the zip file of the project to see which costumes/music are taking up the most space. But I think file size does not necessarily mean it takes longer to load. For sounds I get most of my sound effects from searching from other scratch projects (But you need to search a lot of different terms and look through a lot of projects to find the perfect sound lol) For thumbnails I like to take a screenshot of my profile/trending whatever and paste my thumbnail image ontop of it to see how it looks, then keep editing the thumbnail until I think it really stands out. Red background and white text tend to stand out/do really well so I use that for the most important projects.
Very good points! Yeah, I'll need to do some more research on project size stuff. I personally find the scratch search page annoying to find stuff in, so I didn't mention it. The thumbnail preview is a good idea.
Duplicating small sprites is not great, as you make the code messy and harder to fix bugs. I like to go to the extreme and actually put in as much code as possible in one sprite, sometimes 10k+ blocks. I then make a "Brain" sprite to control the other sprite or for code that doesn't fit well, which usually ends up taking 100+ blocks. Also some extra sprites for collisions if needed.
Should of mentioned that in the video
(I had posted this reply earlier but it was deleted cause it had a scratch game link in it) I agree that duplicating lots of sprites and blocks causes big games to be harder to edit later. Personally, I like to avoid making blocks/costumes concentrated in one sprite, and try to think of ways to have no sprite exceed 1000-2000+ blocks 100 costumes etc if I can. It makes it easier for me to understand my own code and doesn't lag my project editor. About the original topic, an example of how duplicated sprites does not necessarily slow a game down is the game PewPew: Battle Royale by SaltyLizard96. It has 150 sprites and 8000 blocks, most duplicated inefficiently, but it takes almost no time to load, because it has almost no music or detailed costumes. Of course the game is a nightmare to edit now, but if every sprite did have detailed costumes and sound effects, the duplicating of sprites would be much worse. @@pickandshot
Good points there. The scratch editor tends to lag once you hit 1000+ blocks, but you can circumvent this by using Turbowarp, where it doesn't lag until 15000+. The initial load time is an issue with big sprites, but it doesn't affect the actual coding experience that much. I like to use big sprites mainly because it's easier to code (at least for me, probably not for 99% of people though). Combine this with pen and you can make games without clunky broadcasts, since everything is in one sprite, so you don't need to transmit information around.
the broadcast issue can also be fixed by the main sprite having a clone id of 0, which is just much cleaner, also, my only problem with clones is that they refuse to be deleted sometimes its a glitch in the scratch system
Yeah that can work
scratch intros are like the rickroll of scratch
I subscribed because you are the reason i started scratch, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

How to be famous on scratch Step 1:make your character a square Step 2:be Chinese Step 3:make your game a platformer Step 4:use original sounds and music
Must be a minecraft platormer
That’s basically almost the entire explore page
Nice video, I would just like to point out that it's a great idea to use local variables with prefix symbols to insure future variable readability. Also that using local variables can be used instead of costumes to determine a clone. ^^w^^
Also you can make eg. _cloneID and all clones could have 1+ but the main just 0(reset after cloning)
yes, that is a good idea
What if I want to make an object which randomly spawns clones of itself, like a endless runner game? Should I use this technique or a separated sprite for the object?
This technique with the CloneID variable should work.
Yup
the other way to tell if a sprite is a clone or not is to create a variable for this sprite only that's set to 0 for the main sprite and 1 for the clones and checking if the variable is set to 1
thanks, man, I will get rid of the intro and chang it to clones RIGHT NOW :D
oh and also im @Abdullah279 :D
Yay
On the clone part, you can actually move all the different costume scripts to the same when I start as clone block.
Yes you can. But I just like the way it looks when separate.
I would rather watch this than any griffpatch video. Nice tricks
Question, Lets say the sprite is basically the same but each one uses a different variable, What do i do then?
Maybe use the clone id method with a list. Create a list that stores all the variables you need. You can them use item clone id of list to get the value you need. Use replace item clone id of list to set values. Hope that works :)
btw, creating a empty sprite and drag it to the first sprite can also make your game load faster
Yes
superman be shaking with these hacks 🥶🥶
🥶🥶
clone sometime cant be use to make a game it have a background move like geomegry dash because we cant use to make a lot of glitch, like a game move the background. they will invisible for no reason, so that why never use clone "unless you use for clicker game or something not many codes"
Good point you got here. Intro logos are very annoying. There's this game I made called "Fill in the ___ Version 1.0.5. When you start the project, there's this 11 second intro that you can't skip, and I think that the intro is the best part of the game. Like seriously the game is trash. Anyways, don't add intros. - ImaFlareonGames, Scratcher.

But, the intros are very good!

not a big difference, but they add up

how to hide all sprite in scratch
With a broadcast. Add a when I receive message block and attach a hide block. Add this to all the sprites you want to hide. Then, use a broadcast message block
yumy
yummy indeed
i use canva more for thumbnails
U can make an intro that doesn't waste your time by adding a skip into button
good idea, but intro's can still take up a lot of project space.
@@donut_askjust put the intro in one sprite. Unless you have like 5+ Sprites

Vsauce Micheal here
Where are your fingers? Seriously. It's a pretty easy question. You should be able to answer it. But how do you know? How does anyone know anything? You might say, well, I know where my fingers are. I'm looking right at them. Or, I can touch them, I can feel them, they're right here and that's good. Your senses are a great way to learn things. In fact, we have way more than the usual five senses we talk about. For instance, your kinesthetic sense, proprioception. This is what the police evaluate during a field sobriety test. It allows you to tell where your fingers and arms and head and legs in your body is all in relation to each other without having to look or touch other things. We have way more than five senses, we have at least twice as many and then some. But they're not perfect. There are optical illusions, audio illusions, temperature sensation illusions, even tactile illusions. Can you turn your tongue upside down? If so, perfect. Try this. Run your finger along the outer edge of the tip of your upside down tongue. Your tongue will be able to feel your finger, but in the wrong place. Our brains never needed to develop an understanding of upside down tongue touch. So, when you touch the right side of your tongue when it's flipped over to your left side you perceive a sensation on the opposite side, where your tongue usually is but isn't when it's upside down. It's pretty freaky and cool and a little humbling, because it shows the limits of the accuracy of our senses, the only tools we have to get what's out there in here. The philosophy of knowledge, the study of knowing, is called epistemology. Plato famously said that the things we know are things that are true, that we believe and that we have justification for believing. those justifications might be irrational or they might be rational, they might be based on proof, but don't get too confident because proven is not a synonym for true. Luckily, there are things that we can know without needing proof, without needing to even leave the house, things that we can know as true by reason alone. These are things that we know a priori. An example would be the statement "all bachelors are unmarried." I don't have to go survey every bachelor on earth to know that that is true. All bachelors are unmarried because that's how we define the word bachelor. Of course, you have to know what the words bachelor and unmarried mean in the first place. Oh, you do? Okay. Perfect. That's great. But how do you know? This time I mean functionally, how do you know? Where is knowledge biologically in the brain? What are memories made out of? We are a long way from being able to answer that question completely but research has shown that memories don't exist in the brain in single locations. Instead, what we call a memory is likely made up of many different complex relationships all over the brain between lots of brain cells, neurons. A major cellular mechanism thought to underlie the formation of memories is long-term potentiation or LTP. When one neuron stimulates another neuron repeatedly that signal can be enhanced overtime LTP, wiring them more strongly together and that connection can last a long time, even an entire lifetime. A collection of different brain cells, neurons that fire together in a particular order over and over again frequently and repeatedly can achieve long-term potentiation, becoming more sensitive to each other and more ready to fire in the exact same way later on in the future. They're a physical thing in your brain, firing together more easily because you strengthen that pattern of firing. You memorized. This branching forest of firing friends looks messy, but look closer. It could be the memory of your first kiss. A living souvenir of the event. If I were to go into your brain and cut out those cells, could I make you forget your first kiss or could I make you forget where your fingers are? Only if I cut out a lot of your brain. Because memories aren't just stored in one relationship, they're stored all over the brain. The events leading up to your first kiss are stored in one network, the way it felt to the way it smelled in different networks, all added up together making what you call the memory of your first kiss. How many memories can you fit inside your head? What is the storage capacity of the human brain? The best we can do is a rough estimate, but given the number of neurons in the brain involved with memory and the number of different connections a single neuron can make Paul Reber at Northwestern University estimated that we can store the digital equivalent of about 2.5 petabytes of information. That's the equivalent of recording a TV channel continuously for 300 years. That's a lot of information. That is a lot of information about skills you can do and facts and people you've met, things in the real world. The world is real, right? How do you know? It's a difficult question, but it's not rocket science. Instead, it is asking whether or not rocket scientists even exist in the first place. The theory that the Sun moved around the earth worked great. It predicted that the Sun would rise every morning and it did. It wasn't until later that we realized what we thought was true might not be. So, do we or will we ever know true reality or are we stuck in a world where the best we can do is be approximately true? Discovering more and more useful theories every day but never actually reaching true objective actual reality. Can science or reason ever prove convincingly that your friends and KZhead videos and your fingers actually exist beyond your mind? That you don't just live in the matrix? No. Your mind is all that you have, even if you use instruments, like a telescope or particle accelerators. The final stop for all of that information is ultimately you. You are alone in your own brain, which technically makes it impossible to prove that anything else exists. It's called the egocentric predicament. Everything you know about the world out there depends on and is created inside your brain. This mattered so much to Charles Sanders Peirce that he drew a line between reality, the way the universe truly is, and what he called the phaneron, the world as filtered through our senses and bodies, the only information we can get. If you want to speak with certainty you live in, that is you react to and remember and experience your phaneron, not reality. The belief that only you exist and everything else, food, the universe, your friends are all figments of your mind is called solipsism. There is no way to convince a solipsist that the outside world is real. And there is no way to convince someone who doubts that the universe wasn't created just three seconds ago along with all of our memories. It's a frightening realization that we don't always know how to deal with. There's even The Matrix defense. In 2002 Tonda Lynn Ansley shot and killed her landlady. She argued that she believed she was in the matrix, that her crimes weren't real. By using the matrix defense, she was found not guilty by reason of insanity, because the opposite view is just way healthier and common. It's called realism. Realism is the belief that the outside world exists independently of your own phaneron. Rocks and stars and Thora Birch would continue to exist even if you weren't around to experience them. But you cannot know realism is true. All you can do is believe.
