Hello. We're testing a simple tool to compare projects, in particular remixes vs originals. The tools is still "barebones" so it's only for advanced users willing to keep up with its ugly interface. We're planning to improve it in the future, so we need some heavy testing.

Some people have already found bugs. Mainly related to the fact that when reuploading a project often the images get compressed automatically and the comparator thinks they have been changed. Please help us find more bugs and/or suggest ways in which the information could be presented in a friendlier format.

In case you do not know, the id of a project is the number at the end of its URL.

Fixed.

I don't get it.

This is an idea Pecola1 made...

Really? Like, RKT Compare?

I think that instead of the code (which I understand perfectly), it should have images of the blocks.
Also, images of the images ( tongue ), and sound previews.

Oh that's so cool. I didn't know RKT did that! The main advantage of having it web-based is that it doesn't require installation and it can analyze projects without having to have the files (they're already in the server). But i can definitely see a value of doing it on the client side.

Umm, explanation? tongue
You like what I said, about improvements?

The blocks would be easier to do than the images. However, I am wondering if there is a way to aggregate the differences into a more concise format rather than making it longer by replacing text with images of blocks. Lots to think about.

Hooray! Now I can flag exact copies of my projects without the Scratch team saying it’s bad to flag because they wanted to remix!

I’M SO HAPPY OMG

Be careful, this comparator is not always accurate. I'd suggest manually comparing the results of the comparator with a careful inspection of the internals of the project. It would be very helpful to know what exact discrepancies you find.

Wow, I didn't thinner anyone used it. It is more for remaining small parts. Not comparing how much it changed, but it could be used that way.

The version number is not the version of Scratch but the version of the project. If you don't know, just leave it empty.

Oh! LOL. I thought it was the Scratch version. Okay.
