Scratch

@Coolstuff
Sorry,
Didnt have long,
But im telling you SCRATCH ISNT GLITCHY!!!!
Its your processors speed and your RAM that depends on how long they take to build.
Same with how they run...

What make and model?
Im running a I5 Mac and it has no glitchs.
What processor?
(I class core 2 duo as old...)
And please will you suggest to MIT to enable multithreading support?
(ITS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY EASY TO DO IN JAVA!!!)

So you are suggesting people upgrade their computers to run a scratch program which would run at least 10 times more efficiently in any other language? I could make a list of things  scratch has issues with like long scripts but I won't because I think most people who have used the program enough have figured out that scratch isn't perfect.

With posts like this I don't think anyone will believe you when you say you have 14 years coding experience or perhaps even any real coding experience.

This is completely wrong. They're glitchy online and edit mode right? Play presentation mode. That's the only place where the whole loop is executed before the frame is rendered.
Scratch isn't like other programming languages, in scratch it's a good thing to have a long script as it increases execution speed.

I think the main issue with scratch bugs is that each player acts differently. The offline player in presentation mode has the least bugs and usually works as it is supposed to. The offline player in edit mode is like presentation mode except slower, long scripts take long to load in the editor. The online player is where most of the issues come in as it is very different from the offline players. The online player is horrible with sounds, and runs scripts a little differently.

I don't get why the solution should be to upgrade your system to run a program in scratch that would run effortlessly as a flash app for example.

PS: Your projects and posts make it extremely obvious that you are not a professional programmer so just drop the act.

@archmage.
Sometimes people like to have something called FUN.....
Ever heard of that.
And most of my projects were effortless
Im looking at scratch's framework by shift clicking the r on scratch.....
(The projects were for when i got bored of staring at java for hours.

Nobody actually thinks that.

The reason Scratch runs long scrips so slowly is because it's not made to handle them. If you built something in Scratch, then made an exact copy in C++, the Scratch version will always be much slower. That's just how it's built to work.

Also, for someone who has a job in programming, your posts are really hard to understand.

aah.

Please calm yourself.

And stop trollin'.

lol.
I dislike these strange occurrences.

And, yes, scratch is glitchy.

No program is perfect. Not one(Except for ed, of course. xD)

Please remember to keep it respectful here! It's right in the terms of use...

I'd hate to have to close this thread...

Yep, this is trollin', so I'm closing this. It's fine to make criticisms of Scratch (we know it's not perfect). But it's not fine to do it in a way that's disrespectful, and designed to create arguments and conflicts.
