You can't hack projects you know.

*yawn*

I meant finding a way to remix projects after changing it the way you like it, or to tweak the scripts if you're having trouble with a game; etc..

to find a hidden sprite, make a sprite and put this script: [blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<go to[ hidden sprite
<end>

that will make the sprite go to the hidden sprite. If you don't know which the hidden sprite is, it's the sprite that doesn't show up in the sprites area.
[/blocks]
then press the stop button,  record the X and Y positions, move the finder sprite, then double click at the X and Y positions to find the hidden sprite.

This way easily works to find a password.  All you have to do is use this and find the password in the scripts.  Or you could modify the scripts of the other sprites so that the password is not needed.

what password 

Passwords that have been added to projects. They're done with the ask block.

easy way to fix this, put it in the hidden sprite:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<hide>
<forever>
<go to x   <pick random( -240 )to( 240 )y   <pick random( -180 )to( 180 ))
<end>
[/blocks]
doesn't really fix it much, but helps.

You can always just activate one script at a time, you know.  So a forever to block something could be found and removed via finding the hidden sprite using 16Skittles's method and you wouldn't have a problem with that anymore.  You could also eliminate any other "When Flag Clicked" or "When I Receive ___" statement this way.  Or you could eliminate those scripts directly if they were obvious.

i know i know    it's just a little helper for those noob hackers who don't know they can activate scripts one at a time.

the reason that wouldn't work is that the finder would forever go the hidden sprite, and if you stop all, neither would move.

There is a way to make your projects almost impregnable. Here it is:
1. Click the new sprite button.
2. Move the window that appears.
3. Click the new sprite button again.
4. Click cancel in the window.
5. Double click the white square in the middle of the screen.
6. It's there, but it doesn't appear in the sprites box.

I have hacked that way. Want proof. The four caps in the password for your catbot project are S, B, F and A.

I found a way to show the sprite: delete all the other sprites, and share the project. Download it, and it's in the sprite list! It's still hidden, though...

You can guess what project I did that on.

Hacking that way is easy XD, once you know how to hack it XD

It's easy. 

1. To check if the project has a hidden sprite, delete them all. Then delete the scripts in the stage.
2. Does something still happen? Share it online.
3. Download the project and view the hidden sprite.

if you need to see exactly what happens when scripts are executed, just start single-stepping. click "edit" then "set single stepping" set it to "flash blocks slow", then go back and click "start single stepping". you can watch the whole project go while watching what is happening.

Interesting... added to the list.

I don't really feel like cluttering up my user page with a whole bunch of random projects shared in the name of attempting to figure out how to beat something or whatever, so I think that I would just use 16Skittles's method, copy the hidden sprite, and view it that way.  It's easy, and you don't have to share anything unnecessarily.

You can share something, download it, and delete it.
