Scratch vs. BYOB: continuation of "Squared" using BYOB
I recently made a Scratch project called "Squared". The link to it is at the bottom. I also discovered BYOB after starting "Squared". I have not gotten any feedback on my project, and was wondering if I could switch over to BYOB without losing any "fans". I really enjoy BYOB but it will be a while before updating Squared, so if anyone really liked my project I would like feedback to whether or not it would be okay for me to covert Squared to a BYOB project. Thank you.

You say "Convert it to BYOB", what do you mean by that?
What features of BYOB would you need to use?

It's not that I need them, it is that I have spent a while using it and prefer it. I am just asking if anyone wants me to do anything to the Scratch game before a work with BYOB. BYOB will be faster, more accurate, etc., and I will continue working using that.

Re: Scratch vs. BYOB: continuation of "Squared" using BYOB
I'm sure that there are people who would try the BYOB version if they enjoyed your game. Of course, BYOB is more complicated and less Scratchers are familiar with it. Scratchers who have played your game that are less experienced with the programming most likely would not want to take the time to get there.
It's your call here. You'll certainly get a lot more views on the Scratch site, but BYOB is much less popular, yet it's (in my mind) a better programming tool for those more expericenced.
I prefer BYOB as well.

I am sorry, I was testing to see if it does blocks that don't come with Scratch, just in case. Sorry.
