The reason that putting "\b" breaks Scratch, is that in real programming (C++, C#, Javascript, ect) "\b" means make a new line. When scratch compiles the code, and runs the "\b" name, it will make a new line in the source code, and corrupt the project files.

[@lukascampidell9376]

isn't a new line ?

the reason why you cant name a block "%" is Scratch uses the % symbol for inputs on the custom block, so then scratch would think the label was a input.

I found a glitch in Scratch: It has to do with sound. 1. You take a random sound that fades away and then you louden the ending of it so much. 2. These are the things: The ending will become completely purple and there will be a tight pink square in the end. 3. A half of the sound disappears. 4. Try to slow or fast forward the sound.

[@FriedCuttlefish]

One way I got Scratch to stop saving my projects was highlighting a really tiny bit of a huge song, and then pressing "copy to new". Also, putting in a song too big just makes Scratch load it forever.

[@rachelsenko7887]

I made a way too big song on scratch and my Chromebook’s ended up reaching 80 degrees Celsius when I checked because it felt hot, and a few seconds later the screen suddenly went black. I put it in my fridge for a couple hours and turned it back on and it immediately froze at the opening chrome OS screen. and after a couple minutes it reloaded the apps and suddenly managed to start the song. The song I made didn’t sound that great anyways so I turned off my Chromebook in disappointment.

[@FriedCuttlefish]

@@rachelsenko7887 Quite the story

[@oluyemidavid5098]

You can make duplicating clones that won't allow you to use scratch [as long as the code is there.] The line is this simple Step 1: Put a random sprite. Step 2: Go to background. Step 3: In the background, put when green flag clicked, create clone of (insert name of random sprite here). Step 4: In the sprite, put when I start as a clone, create clone of (insert name of random sprite here), create clone of (insert name of random sprite here), delete this clone. Step 5: Press the green flag. How this works is when there is a clone, it creates two copies of itself, then leaves, and each of those clones double then delete. You'll have 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, then 512 which is 212 over the clone limit. This has happened to me before. [__] is the edited part.

When clone created, create clone Doesn't break instantly, but definitely causes chaos

[@LeWolfYT]

“nEVeR dO thIS oN sCRaTcH!!1!” me who already did it before the video game was uploaded:

[@chipthespithor]

I know another one. Type %15 in scratches search bar and copy the character that pops up. Then make a my bloc and put it in there. You get the red hacked block! Now if you put this character in a text box in the costumes, they costumes break.

[@SpawnNyanCat]

And you can fix the break of the costume by going to code, then go back. The costume of the sprite where you typed it in makes a slight left.

[@sppacer4303]

I think I know how the last one works. When you bring out the when clone created block it confuses scratch, to thinking you created a clone but when it looks at it data list it doesn't see creating a clone anywhere. Then, when you create a clone, and get rid of it in just 3 ticks, and repeating that process, will make it it so scratch doesn't have a break because, it doesn't have a break to slow the lag down because, as soon as, scratch has done your code once because, of the create clone block it we runs that script again, two times because, when you do the create clone block the script isn't done yet, then repeating that process, will make it so, the amount of scripts going at once will pile up. All of theses things piled up, causes so much lag leading to scratch crashing.

[@buddysproductions7802]

Scratch had limits not the costumes/sprites but the cloud variables and the clones only. They set the clones limit to 300 because it would freeze the project but in turbowarp you can disable the limit and let me tell you, will make the website on responsive. This video shows the weakness of the scratch editor,the code behind the editor cant handle/update it to do so. So it wouldn’t try it but at YOUR OWN RISK to not corrupt a game/animation.

Another method to break Scratch: 1. Use Vector format for costumes. 2. Get any piece of a vector costume. 3. Copy and paste that piece a lot and group the whole costume. 4. Copy and paste the groups. 5. Make it so that there's 250 entities on your costume. 6. Try to move the costume in the costume editor. Boom! Now Scratch lags super hard that you can't even do anything.

[@kingtesttube4996]

I found another vector-related way to break Scratch. It only works if you have a laptop with a touchscreen though. Open the Vector editor and draw anything you want with your mouse. At the same time, draw something with your finger. This will create so many points that Scratch will experience a massive lag spike.

[@AstroTheSpaceMan]

I make very detailed games and I can confirm this works. For almost every model I use in game, there’s at least 10 entities in the vector costume. When you have a project with 125 sprites, and 75% of them having huge costume sizes, scratch editor becomes a pain in the a**.

There's a glitch if you define a define block with the block your defining. One time it crashed my scratch project entirely

This actually was my first thing I tried in IT class, trying to break scratch by creating a loop. No only that, this also is pretty RAM and CPU intensive and I therefore opened the project in multiple tabs (the school PC didn‘t BSOD). If your PC is good, you can try this but don‘t publish, it‘s against their ToS and will probably get you banned.

[@Me74w]

To break scratch, you break ur computer

[@AstroTheSpaceMan]

You can make your projects practically un-remixable if you make the project run the “When I start as a clone, make a clone of myself, delete this close” script every time someone that’s not you clicks on the “see inside” and “remix” button. There’s plenty of tutorials out there that teach you how to detect when someone clicks these buttons. But do this at your own risk, as it’s against scratch TOS.

[@squidtito8501]

A nameless block can still be edited as usual, the label were just missing

[@wowyok4507]

Now this is real uncommon knowledge

[@congphandinh1730]

The zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerization of writing systems that make use of ligatures. When placed between two characters that would otherwise be connected into a ligature, a ZWNJ causes them to be printed in their final and initial forms, respectively. This is also an effect of a space character, but a ZWNJ is used when it is desirable to keep the words closer together or to connect a word with its morpheme.

When I did the "\b" glitch, I saved it and went back to it. The project didn't not let me in as I expected it to, instead it just erased the sprite and the costumes and sounds tabs were all completely blank. The project was still working perfectly though. Edit: For the "%n" glitch, on the label at the corner, you don't need to type d%n. You can type anything.

i had that last one happen to me while i was making a thing because i just happened to have it set up in a way where a clone was created and deleted on the same frame, so i had to lose a ton of progress on my thing.

[@Farleigh1050]

For the %n custom block, you can use amy other letter instead of n and ot will make the block blank, and flr the last one you can also add a when flag clicked instead of clicking the script and the ‘myself’ in create clone block disappears (and of course it freezes)

[@IpfnOfficial426]

Create a new block, name it anything, click OK, place the normal block under the define (define the block with the block you're defining). This is another way to break Scratch, somehow.
