Fun Fact: With Makey Makey addon you don't have to use the join block like that. You can just type "up up down up down" in one space and leave the other space blank. Or you can set a variable to something and check if you press the variable's text. This also works with any letter, not just arrows, meaning you can do "A M O G U S" or "s c r a t c h" (cAps DoNT MaTtEr)

Everyone has heard of size hack but rarely anybody has ever heard of position hack. - Use size hack to make your sprite very very big (ex. 10000). - set or change position of sprite. - set sprite size back to normal. The sprites can now go out of bounds without clipping on the edge of the canvas. This is great for scrolling games.

It doesn’t need to be too big, only big enough that it clips through the borders of the drawing canvas.

finally a scratch hacks video with actually useful tips that everybody don't know already

4:46 seems pretty cool, especially when wanting to add secrets or whatever

I actually already knew about the resize thing! I discovered it while experimenting to see if there was a way to get past the size limit! It actually really helps making things bigger than the screen normally let's you have without having to make another costume for every size change I often name those costumes Size then code FOREVER Switch costume to Size Change size by (whatever) Switch costume to (whatever) Sometimes I even have a variable set so the sprite knows which costume to switch to after by making it set a variable name to the costume number then making it switch to the Size costume then switching to the variable and changing that by one! It's so fast that you won't even see it happening so it's perfect! Also the hack to create the illusion of pausing audios is amazing! It would defiantly come in handy although I wish there was a way to simply pause the whole project... I'm sure I can easily work that out though using variables As for the black and white effect, I never knew how to code it but I once saw a project that used a similar method and just added those couple of blocks into my backpack for later Also with the turning JPGs into Pangs, sadly that won't work if the image itself has white on it or if the JPG background is bad quality to the point where scratch thinks it's multiple shades... That's why I use Photoshop And wow! That key combo is so much easier than what I was doing! I used to simply just have Wait until (whatever) key is pressed Then under that repeat it... It often got complicated and making it rese when you type the wrong key is even harder to do so this will also be useful! Removing the pauses for movement is also amazing! I always had If key (whatever is pressed) Change (X/Y) by (whatever) But this is so much easier to do too! These hacks are going to be very useful, I'm happy YT recommend wasn't useless for once!

On number 5, if you hold alt while resizing a side, the opposite side will mirror the side you are morphing.

you could get the remix tree and key enter presed with scratch addons

You can make a better movement system without the key pressed blocks, forever(change x by(key right pressed - key left pressed)) You can multiply the value in the change x by like 5 to get a faster speed, and adding collisions is as simple as if (touching sprite (Cat)), then: change x by({the thing with the imput}*-5) to add y movement just do the same thing but change y and the controls are up - down

Scratch limits the pitch effect to between -360 and 360, which corresponds to 3 octaves in either direction. So the sound is probably still going at a slow speed, so not completely paused but close.

well its not an unlimited movement hack, its just because the larger the costume, the farther it can go offscreen, and it is used in main loops to allow a sprite to go offscreen in a larger costume and switch back to the smaller costume, making it appear as if the smaller costume is able to go offscreen.

Perhaps you should try this hack out. It really isn't that hard. Make two costumes "Nothing" and "Normal" "Nothing" Costume contains nothing. "Normal" Costime can be anything. (just make sure it have something) switch to costume to "Nothing" set size to (1/0) switch costume to "Normal" change x by 1e104 change y by 1e48 after all this your coordinates should be (1e104,1e48) which is far larger than using really big sprite (unless you edited the .svg file and make the costume stupidly big) go to x : (1/0) y : (1e295) This block will take you to (Infinity,1e295). I am not sure if Infinity is possible with a Infinity×Infinity costume. (another experiment to conduct I geuss) As you can see, this hack don't limit your movement to just Infinity and 0. Instead it allows any movement from 0 to Infinity. This hack is actually impossible in slightly earlier version of scratch. Early scratch 3.0 only allows "Nothing" costume to be as big as 48000%. I guess that's why no one have discovered this hack yet.

You can change the colo(u)r to all the categories, or a custom colo(u)r, but you can only have the shape as a reporter block, a boolean block, a stack block, or a cap block.
