Re: TM_´s MineCraft - Information + Changelog
You may want to make the blocks smaller, if you look at mine you'll see that I can fit quite a few blocks on screen even when I only generate a little bit at a time, you need to zoom out a little.

But then i have to change everything! all textures and the script, too! i think it´s at h moment okay. and with scmaller blocks are more blocks at the same time on screen. This means slower update of the screen when you scroll.

Oh, when I added that part I didn't know how. I figured out about 3/4 hours ago. You put a [url= then what's you'd normally do with the image than a[/url]at the end.

Performance Tips;
Delete anything unused. Variables, Sprites, costumes, sound. Especially Sprites. Most effective
Stop any scripts that are running when they don't need to be.
Remove Features that might be lag intensive.
If you don't want to remove features for performance, add performance options so people can choose based on how fast there computer is.
There's more tips I can give but icr :S

Thanks for the hints, but i knew them all. And i will wait for Scratch 2., because...
- the make your own block feature can make faster rendereing with only one sprite possible and also it makes some long scripts shorter.(look at the crator script, it is so long, that scratch can´view it)
- i have many other games, which should be online, so at first i will work on other games and only someimtes on the next minecraft update.
PS: the most lagging is when you go left. I added to the script, that the rendering have to stop, because when not the whole map can be destructed with mistakes in the lists. So it´s not lagging, its stopping, but you are right, i have to do something.

i made a large guide on speeding up projects. here my Generation:3000 project (the example used) has 96 moving tiles, plus the hover car or tornado or whatever else is needed to move with it. this guide explains how to optimize each script. please give feedback!
