What is turbo mode?

I've hearing about this new thing on the flash player called turbo mode. Does anybody know anything about it?

Re: What is turbo mode?

This looks like an All About Scratch topic.

Anyway, I don't think there is one in the FLASH player, but there is one in the normal Scratch player. Just go to Edit > Set Single Stepping > Turbo mode. Easy as that.

Actually, Flash does have turbo.  Try shift-clicking the green flag.  Turbo mode in project notes probably means downloaded and what scratch_yoshi said.

It makes scripts run faster - only a bit quicker offline, but it's really fast on the Flash player ^^ Sometimes it doesn't perform as well offline, though...  hmm

Re: What is turbo mode?

Turbo mode means that the scripts, unlike normal mode, execute without pause (so as fast as the player can handle it) and this means it's often way more than once a frame. But without going into details, turbo mode is:

Much faster than normal mode with blocks like lists, motion, and pretty much everything.

Re: What is turbo mode?

Turbo speed executes scripts very quickly.

EDIT: I'm also outposted!

Like everyone else said, it runs scripts faster. It does this by executing scripts in one draw cycle, instead of drawing after each block is executed.
