I've had to delete my games from Scratch.mit.edu because they failed to work on the website, even if they worked flawlessly on my computer. It is difficult to say what is going wrong because on the website everything just seems to happen incorrectly and at the wrong times. This is really dissapointing as i really wanted to share my games...

The most common problem with games that work in Squeak but not java is that the scheduling of broadcasts is handled slightly differently. If you have been relying on scripts executing in a particular order without actually forcing that order, things can fail.
Some standard things to do:
make sure there is some sort of "wait" in every forever loop
Check each "broadcast" to see if it ought to be a "broadcast and wait"
I just noticed---this is my 500th post to the scratch forum. I suspect that I am the most prolific poster on the forum!
