Well, some of you know this trick, that can be used to make an hidden sprite that won't appear in the sprite palette:

1. Click the new sprite button

3. Click cancel
4. There will be a white square in the middle of the screen. That's your sprite.

So I decided to use it to make a virus (for demostrative purposes only) for a Scratch OS using this trick, but when I imported the virus into the OS the hidden sprite appeared in the sprite palette. o_0

So countering this trick (or "trade secret" as The-Whiz said) is ridicolously simple - just import the project into another, preferably an empty one.    Yay I just ruined collabs.

Did you use...

my Sangle OS? There's a possibility...

Interesting. I'll use that to unlock some codes...

No. Hint: It's considered one of the best OSes and is currently in version 8.

Xenotype.

Thats a good idea with the virus thing.

What's good, making the virus or using this trick to avoid infection?

Using Xenotype? infecting it?  I should make another OS just for infection purposes. xD

Ah. I wonder what it is?

That'd be interesing. Maybe make it as a way of prove that you need an Anti-virus program.

I don't think you need an anti-virus program because you can see the scripts of every sprite. And when you import a project hidden sprites are shown, and most people just import projects to installl apps.

Also, an anti-virus wouldn't be possible because there's no way to stop or check what another script does.

  yay! But I'm wondering, is there a way to turn a sprite invisible AFTER creation?
haha technoguyx

Not that I know of - but you could always peek into the source code and get your sprites invisible that way
