    The "days since 2000" block was useless until I found out that it queries system time, so it is volatile even when queried in run without screen refresh blocks. Super useful for diagnosing lag problems in 3D projects.

    1. The "If on edge, bounce" block is working; however, it's being used with a "change x by ()" block. If you use it with the "move () steps" block, it becomes more noticeable.
    2. Completely agree.
    3. The glide blocks are useful only for beginners; once you learn how to use Scratch, you can code much better glides without using them.
    4. Agree; the touching color blocks are also much slower than sprite collisions.
    5. The "current day of week" block returns 3 for Tuesday because the week starts on Sunday, not Monday; the reason why Sunday is often called a weekend is because things such as school, work, etc. begin on Monday and end on Friday.

    The [If on edge, bounce] block is actually really useful, it's just not being used right.
    In my game "wheel shotgun", I use it so if you hit the edge, it bounces. The reason this is so useful is because it retains momentum, so if you hit the wall, at the same speed you were at, it moves the opposite direction.
    The reason scratch cat is upside down, is because the direction facing is changed to the opposite

    uses for all the scratch blocks you call useless:
    1: If the If on edge bounce block was removed then it would limit creativity, and I've saw good uses for it.
    2: The If the backdrop switches to backdrop2 or smh is a great subsitute for the broadcast block, especially since you don't need to do unnecessary coding with the broadcast block and when I receieve "broadcast1" (unless it is neccesary)
    3: The glide block is decent, and is there for beginners to use, plus I depend on it to make my project feel alive (random movement for characters)
    4: The if color is touching color block is useful for more than pen games, you can make a simple don't touch the walls game, or in my case color detectors, since the other one doesn't work for color detectors
    5: you can make limited time events with this block you could customize it, maybe it only is there for Mondays, or maybe on Sunday's and Saturday's.

    I just realized the glide block is actually useful, you can make the sprite go to the mouse pointer without the go to block, here is what you need to put in the inputs:
    Glide Time: 0
    Target: Mouse Pointer
    Put it in a forever loop, and then you are done!
    I even used it for my flappy bird game

  • @thethree13o
    @thethree13o 11 месяцев назад

    Nice video. However,
    1. The "if on edge, bounce" block doesn't just flip the direction. If a sprite is going in any direction that isn't straight with the "move steps" block, it will change direction a lot better, which can be useful for beginners
    2. Tuesday is day 3 because it starts the week on sunday
    3. The "days since 2000" block might seem useless, but it's actually the most accurate time block in scratch, meaning it is useful in things like 3D projects.

    2. Will be useful if you are doing the... Just anything, i can't think, for what it's needed, but it's just soo useful for something.
    3. Will be useful for smooth moving.
    4. Will be useful by making games like G E O M E T R Y D A S H, but more often using .

    Number 1: The If on edge bounce block works ONLY if you have no X or Y movement. (according to how you move it to the edge)
    Number 2: It's just easier. If I used this in my scratch show, it would have been impossible.
    Number 3: Yes.
    Number 4: It is useless if you have non complicated sprites (like a polygon). But if you use the more used kind (Non single polygonal shapes), it would be highly useful. Also the more used kind in this one should be MOST used kind.
    Number 5: You are right
