Glitch effects in Scratch

[@lineaway8]

I thought this would be ALL in Scratch, but I'm not really going to a different website to do things like these. I've made a Scratch project with glitches; and I would say it looks fine, handmade. Also, you don't need to master glitch effects to be a hacker. It relies more on Javascript. I do reccomend simply duplicating the sprite, changing it's color to red, green, or blue, moving it a few pixels up, right, or diagonally, and repeating that with all three colors. For example, Red is 10 pixels above, blue is 10 pixels to the right, and green is 10 pixels diagonally up and right.

That's very resourceful, and I'm sure you can get a decent glitch effect going that way, although you're not going to get scanlines, ghost images and some of the other touches you can get with the external tool. I'm not sure why there's such an aversion to using tools from outside the Scratch environment. Scratch was built from the ground up to include all kinds of import/export functionality, and we take advantage of that capability all the time in the making of our tutorials. Personally, I think the quality of the finished product is more important than how you got there.

Great! I never thought you would make a glitching video! This is the same strategy I use! If you don't want to leave scratch but still make a glitch effect, convert the image to bitmap, and drag the pieces around to distort it. I use Scratch Addons, so i can make transparent shapes. If you randomly assort them, and add horizontal lines, all evenly spaced, you get an almost identical glitch effect!

[@atomecstudios]

That's an interesting technique. I love my add-ons and third-party apps, but it's amazing what you can accomplish without ever leaving Scratch.

3:09 I have seen that bug happening whit me, the reason was that the file wasn't compatible (Wav, Mp3 is the compatible), if you see that message, try converting the file to one of the compatible file types

[@atomecstudios]

Yes, corrupted files can cause this problem, among many other glitches. In this case, though, it was definitely file size that messed up our project. One suggestion I forgot to put into the video is to go with mp3s, which are much more compact, when working with long audio files.

Photomosh is so good, I remember people used it when they wanted to glitchify their pfps back in 2019-2020.

[@atomecstudios]

Weird that a tool for wrecking photos could be so popular in a world where we have so many filters for making things artificially beautiful.

Didn't know I could do that! Also PXL is my favorite! (awesome intro btw, dont stop making these :D) Also I really like your tutorial videos, but could you try some other types of content too? Like maybe checking out other projects or tutorials how to make specific games explaining the math behind it. Just mentioning things that I'd watch, I really want to see this channel grow.

[@atomecstudios]

Thanks for your very thoughtful comments and suggestions, gummybear. I was doing a lot of end-to-end game projects on my old channel. Lots of views, but watch time fell off a cliff after 30 seconds or so. Kids nowadays! I just don't think they have the patience to sit through 2 hours of watching somebody build a game. I do agree, though, that we need to broaden our offerings with new types of content. Miss Lynne is developing a new Scratch art and animation series that I think will address a big gap in online Scratch instruction. One thing I'm thinking about is a more hybrid type of short video where we summarize the key points of making a specific game, stopping to explain key concepts (Scratch Hacks style) along the way. The downside is that there's no step-by-step instructions, which will frustrate some. However it would allow me to keep the time down to perhaps 15-20 minutes, so there's a chance people might actually watch it. Thanks for your support! - Mr. T

What about a vhs effect ?

[@atomecstudios]

Photomosh has a few filters that create something like a VHS effect, but here are better ways to pull it off. That's whole other tutorial, though.

[@TheBSODer]

This is an excellent tutorial! I would suggest you could make an tutorial for the music extension. It is a great extension and allows for people to create music on Scratch.

[@atomecstudios]

Thanks for the feedback! The music extension has been on our to-do list for quite some time. A tutorial is definitely coming, but we need to find a fun and compelling way to present it, and we're not quite there yet.

[@TheBSODer]

@@atomecstudios Well, you can make an random music generator. Set the beat time to something random using the pick random block. This also applies to the note, instrument selection and percussion.

If you want to be a REAL hacker then learn a real programming language that is NOT scratch although you should start with scratch/turbowarp

[@atomecstudios]

No serious programmer is going to stick with Scratch forever, but we agree there's no better way to start your journey as a coder.
