Scratch

I think i said this before, but it's not working for me. We updated Adobe Flash, we restarted my browser, nothing seeems to work, though! Could it have something to do with my browser, my computer, or just the version of Flash I have?

Hmmm ... depends on what browser / OS / and Flash version you have. There are instructions on how to post a bug here:

I created a program to test run speed. It repeatedly adds 1 to a variable while a timer is running, then calculates a score. Bigger is better. Downloaded (off-line), this program runs at 42.1, in the flash-player, it runs at 32.1, and in the java player, it runs at 36.
Here's a link to the program: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/apackolot/1684414
You don't have to believe me, but it's what I found.

Flash: 18.7
Java: 35.6
Scratch: 42.1

Odd.

two things that i want to mention: if you're using effects like fisheye and swirl, they appear differently in java, flash, and flash fullscreen --- http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/MegaMor/1683537
also, the lists look really bad on flash, but they're fine on java --- http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ShupaJakub/1679277
other then those things, flash is better than java most of the time

There must be a difference in the logic of the Flash version of the Scratch player as my game "guess" - http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/alanturing/1495853 - jumps straight into scoring a row of four pegs immediately after the first peg is dropped...

Sounds like a bug somewhere :-)

I've heard that the Flash player can run at turbo speed, supposedly faster than Scratch's turbo speed. You can do this by shift-clicking the green flag.

Why did no-one mention the Turbo Mode (shift-click-green-flag) or the Full Full screen (shift-click-fullscreen-button)

"Turbo Speed - the project will change to turbo speed by shift-clicking the Green Flag; shift clicking again will put the project back in regular mode; this is only good for complicated computations"

Wow! I love it!

It is great! alot of the time before this, it wouldn't let me view some projects, but now I can!

I currently don't see the difference, but, once this flash player has been improved on more, there will probably be an outstanding difference!

The Flash player seems to be working great. I love it - it's way better than the Java player.

Bugs i found that may only be on mine idk but I have complaints on one of my games about it freezes there computer when they try to play it with the flash player, this happens to me too when I try to play it. The game is http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/XCs4me/1516289
Also my games when I use the flash player my sound effects, spacificly gunshot, when using the flash player become piano.

FAR better than the Java Player. All my projects have no delay whatsoever!
SCRATCH ON!
