I tried to make Tetris in Scratch 

i love inscryption!! can you give me an update when you release it?

@@funkymoss sure man!

@@funkymossIts done enough for what I need now lol, my account name is this_is_a_name_yes Its called Performance task (inscryption style card game) Note: its INSPIRED by inscryption, i did NOT do a good job modeling after it lmao. Other note: Don’t speak with the book, it might get ideas… It will likely receive updates, as there are only 10 cards, half yours, half not.

​@@funkymossi hope he didnt forgor

@@parali30he forgor

I was about to say that

"could of"

EXACTLY

Could ‘of’ used change x by and change y by

@@YourLocalGrammarPolice nah u can’t cuz that’s not what he’s doin

Thank you!

I have been using scratch for many years, and love it so much, but I still don't say it's a game engine. It's way more inline with regular programming than a game engine. A game engine usually takes care of physics and more, but scratch just gives you the basic tools. Scratch does have moving in a direction, but that's already a common programming concept, turtle graphics.

I personally feel that stamping is more efficient for tiles on a grid

@@XenonNekobut with clones are way less complicated and can use the if touching blocks in sensing and rotate using movement blocks instead of all that math stuff and code

​@@PersonOverHeaven True. I'm definitely not used to the way things are done in Scratch 😂

@@XenonNeko Clones are easier, but not really the best for rendering, stamping is generally optimal, however clones do have their use case. Generally, clones are best used as extra data storage because if you make a list that is "For this sprite only" then clones will have their own separate version of the list that has different values, this is useful if you are storing a lot of data that can't fit on a regular list that only has 200,000 maximum items, though there is also a maximum of 300 clones so there is that to consider too.

​@@XenonNeko most things on grid that need collision detection are generally better with lists than using clones because the touching block is a lot slower than the check a thing in the list blocks.

Oh wow! That's neat!

@@XenonNeko Additionally you can use DaysSince2000 to create your own wait blocks which is a better alternative, and if you're worried that the wait blocks have more precise timing, they don't. Though, you'll have to multiply DaysSince2000 by 86,400 to get the value in seconds.

Except you can run into sync issues. That's why many lot of scratch games use only 1 green flag clicked block (even griffpatch uses 1).

Well, scratch does cap it to 30 fps, but that doesn't mean lag can't happen. Using delta time is much better. Plus, this also caps the fps on turbowarp, which can run scratch projects at higher fps, as high as 256 (but usually just 60).

@@ego-lay_atman-bay Delta time is obviously superior, and for that, the `days since 2000` block actually is pretty cool if you want multiple timers (to avoid using the `timer` value which can be used for stop detection). It can get really precise, being a floating point number ! For small projects though? you aren't gonna lag scratch much, so it's fine.

I’ve always found that scratch runs on 32fps, but 23 on Firefox. Maybe it’s 24 because my fps project isn’t that good lol

@@breakdanc3 I've had issues sometimes with broken FPS caps of 24 on Windows in some browsers :p

@@lpinf Yeah. I switched my games to Google Chrome’s 32 fps, so it also works in the offline scratch program. I think most people use 32 fps for their games. I always used 23/24 until now.

that’s because he has coding experience in other coding softwares, Scratch is like an easier version of any other coding software

I wish I would have known about this sooner!

yes that is true

whats the song at this part

@@ThePianoTutorialGuy "File Select" from Super Mario 64

Thanks man

Yes, he’s not that good

Lol joke's on you I rehearted it (also thanks!)

Definitely! Although I'd want the game to control a lot better before I felt right attaching scores to it.

Since I was already there, I went ahead and added score and levels and speed increase (No leaderboard yet, though).

@@XenonNeko nice :) this project is pretty cool btw

I found out too late

nah, he used lists, while using a game loop and a simple stamp render. so this isnt as simple as you expect lmao

dang it you stole my comment.

...i say tetri

@@Fibero-Fibero69_420 -ī is the second declension ending which is applied for nouns with -us, -em, or -um at the end of the nominative form. however, no one in real life cares enough to correct you so you can call it that if it’s more comfortable lol

@@Fibero-Fibero69_420 an example would be avis, for which the plural would be aves. because "tetris" also ends in -is we could use avis, avis as an example and use tetres of course, tetris isn't a latin word so as long as people know what you mean it works!

Not to say it’s bad otherwise. It was a great video

I don't have any plans to return to Scratch at the moment, no.

I must be missing something! All I could get the white sprite to look like was really pale versions of all the colors.

Thanks! Also, not sure what you mean by "iterate per frame or per update".

@@XenonNeko Are you checking for a line every frame of the game, or only calling it when a tetromino gets placed

@@_cfmca if I remember correctly, only when a tetromino is placed.

I did eventually realize this after switching to delta-time later in the project. The delta-time always hovers around 0.03, which is 30 FPS.

Didn't get the joke, but whatever. You meant about the cubes, right?

@@TheRazeYT because like geometry dash is a 2D game and there are people making 3D levels

They're petty if they go after a Scratch project 🤣 I suppose we'll have to wait and see

Not sure

Not for this project in particular, no. But I have watched Griffpatch tutorials in the past, if that counts! And I watched those before I ever got into Scratch - for some reason.

damn you are really good@@XenonNeko

I did not! Oops

Right. Should have clarified, It was just my personal preference

I added a toggle for that behavior while implementing feedback from other people.

I'm not sure how that would be easier (but that might just be me. I'm not familiar with how things are usually done in Scratch). If you mean splitting the logic into different sprites, I would argue there's a lot of redundancy because the pieces have a lot of common functionality. If you mean making the pieces themselves different sprites, I'm not sure what to do in the case of line clears where pieces can get broken up. And as the board fills up, that sounds like a lot to keep track of. Either way, I find communicating information between sprites to be annoying (again that's just personal preference). If you're referring to something else entirely, please explain.

I can not see in any way how that would be easier given that tetris is tile based
