The 5 Most USELESS Scratch Blocks! 🤮📉 

The "days since 2000" block was useless until I found out that it queries system time, so it is volatile even when queried in run without screen refresh blocks. Super useful for diagnosing lag problems in 3D projects.

1. The "If on edge, bounce" block is working; however, it's being used with a "change x by ()" block. If you use it with the "move () steps" block, it becomes more noticeable. 2. Completely agree. 3. The glide blocks are useful only for beginners; once you learn how to use Scratch, you can code much better glides without using them. 4. Agree; the touching color blocks are also much slower than sprite collisions. 5. The "current day of week" block returns 3 for Tuesday because the week starts on Sunday, not Monday; the reason why Sunday is often called a weekend is because things such as school, work, etc. begin on Monday and end on Friday.

0:20 You are supposed to use move 10 steps. 2:12 The week starts on Sunday in the US.

"Monday is the start of the week" "Should we tell him?"

The current day of week block is not glitchy, the week starts on sunday according to most calenders so it follows those calenders. If you think monday is the start of the week and want it to follow that instead, put it in a subtraction operator block and subtract 1. :)

The [If on edge, bounce] block is actually really useful, it's just not being used right. In my game "wheel shotgun", I use it so if you hit the edge, it bounces. The reason this is so useful is because it retains momentum, so if you hit the wall, at the same speed you were at, it moves the opposite direction. The reason scratch cat is upside down, is because the direction facing is changed to the opposite

uses for all the scratch blocks you call useless: 1: If the If on edge bounce block was removed then it would limit creativity, and I've saw good uses for it. 2: The If the backdrop switches to backdrop2 or smh is a great subsitute for the broadcast block, especially since you don't need to do unnecessary coding with the broadcast block and when I receieve "broadcast1" (unless it is neccesary) 3: The glide block is decent, and is there for beginners to use, plus I depend on it to make my project feel alive (random movement for characters) 4: The if color is touching color block is useful for more than pen games, you can make a simple don't touch the walls game, or in my case color detectors, since the other one doesn't work for color detectors 5: you can make limited time events with this block you could customize it, maybe it only is there for Mondays, or maybe on Sunday's and Saturday's.

YOUR USING "if on edge bounce" INCORRECTLY

the glide block takes exactly 1 second to "glide" to the target position. That's why it sometimes moves at different speeds.

I think "My Variable" variable is so useless. Tell me the time that you don't delete it.

2:15 In the USA, the week starts on Sunday. Tuesday would be the third day of the week.

How hasn't the "days since 2000" block been mentioned? It is way more useless than everything you have mentioned.

Well, the week actually starts on Sunday, and Scratch uses the proper week

The when switch backdrop block is important. It can prevent backdrops switching 2 times with the left and arrow keys in a Find the thing game. The script "Forever [If (backdrop name = [name]then: hide [Else (Show)] has many bugs but we're lucky the switch backdrop block is here for us!

the "if on edge, bounce" block only works with a "move () steps" block

Bounce is really useful though, especially for bullet hell and pong games

Ummm the week starts on Sunday…

the if color 🟪 is touching color ⬛ is really useful for pen games since if its a drawing game where another color cannot touch a certain color its less useless than you think

The glide block is really good if you use a setting on turbowarp

some people think that te week starts on sunday so that could be why tuesday is day 3

the glide block can be used for background objects and can be customized with some variables. so it still is pretty useful

My useless blocks: 1. Color “color” is touching Color “Color” 2. Distance to “object” 3. Days since 2000. I haven”t seen any game with this block. 4. Insert “text” at “number” of “lists” 5. When timer or loudness is bigger than “number” 6. Clear graphic effects 7. Clear sound effects 8. Stop all sounds 9. My blocks category 10. Glide “seconds” secs to mouse-pointer or random position 11. When backdrop switches to “backdrop” 12. Current “something” 13. Loudness Phew, I think that”s it. If I forget something, the comment will be edited soon.

0:28 THAT MOVES JUST IN THE X NOT THAT IF MOVES FOWARD

0:36 use it a lot in my operating systems.. EDIT: not anymore lol

for the first one (Bounce) you made a mistake instead of pulling out the move by steps block, you did the change X block, which is different

Finally, a "Most Useless" video that doesn't have a thumbnail used to get clicks and is actually true

you can also remove the change var by block, you can replace it with the set var to (var-1)

Me who used all these blocks (except if on edge bounce) in my plataformer: 🤡

you can use a glide block for making moving platforms in platformer games

But if touching edge bounce is very useful! It doesn't just turn sprites direction if touching edge, try turning it in different directions and it will bounce differently

I know how the "current day of week" block works Here is an example: 1 = Monday 2 = Tuesday 3 = Wednesday 4 = Thursday 5 = Friday 6 = Saturday 7 = Sunday Was this helpfull?

The week starts on Sunday. I will not argue. You cannot change my mind. The block is still really niche though, and even if you were recreating Animal Crossing, you could just use days since 2000.

2:21 - The day of week block is useful for an OS(not that useful) But 3 means tuesday accoording to scratch. 1 is sunday and 7 is saturday(for some reason)

when backdrop switches to can sometimes be handy also some people say the week starts with sunday

How can you publish your game on the app store

I think when using the if on edge, bounce block would work better if you are moving in steps and not change x

I personally think the if on edge, bounce and the glide blocks are good, if you play my scratch project then youll understand why

1- to be fair true 2- I like this block, I make games where I change backdrops a lot 3- i like the random one, idk just me 4- it can be useful in very specific circumstances 5- it could probably be used for saving times on a leaderboard or something

the glide to a random position can be useful, you can click on the changeable part and it can go to mouse pointer which can be useful for some projects in delayed movement to the mouse pointer and can be more dynamic then the go to mouse pointer block, giving it delays to change the position

The "Current" block is not useless. I used it to add daily tasks to my game (but that is the only way that i found for what it could be used for).

For me, I guess the next costume, i mean we can go firward, backward and even random with backdrops but only forward for sprite costumes :(

STEAMist:Glide is so bad you should stop using it! Seconds:Am I a joke to you?

If on edge, bounce is more useful in this script: when flag clicked, forever: move (10) steps if on edge, bounce

Bro thought the week starts on monday 💀

0:52 its usefle in Scratch 3.0

For the day of week, the scratch team must be Vietnamese because the first day of the week is Sunday.

Scratch is in the USA, and the USA's weeks start with sunday :/

Week starts at Sunday. No common sense in this man.

i make bullet hell games on scratch and the "if on edge, bounce" block is incredibly useful for that

"current _" is not useless. It can be used for automatic Christmas and Halloween updates. Im using it in my game for that.

Griffpatch used no.3 useless block for platform!

0:51 I used the glide block for an AI mouse that moves in a straight line. Although the same mouse sometimes ues smooth andaccurate gliding, the difference is: you can dodge it! So I find it useful.

the glide block is actually useful because you can make a jumping system with it, so it is NOT a useless block.

The “days since 2000” block is the most useless.

"If on edge, bounce" is a very useful block. How dare you.

1.Kinda 2.i used it alot, super useful 3.you need backpack to replace this 4.wth 5.this block is no where near useless in some projects

If on edge, bounce is NOT useless. It can be used in many ways, you’re just using it WRONG. It’s move (number) steps, not change X by (number).

What I do is that glide can be a good block actually I can just do this Put one fast Them make it slower And vice versa

Actually The Week Was Supposed To Start At Sunday, But Humans Be Kinda Dumb Ngl

They need an "if touching ( v), bounce off" block, it would make pong games easier

The “when backdrop switches to” block is useful for people who dont know what the messaging system is

The first day 9f the week is sunday. Use your brain, or are you still in shool.

if on edge, bounce isnt useless, i used it to make ping pong when back switches to ALSO isnt useless, you can make platformers out of these "the week starts on monday" "should we tell him?" "yes"

The week starts on Monday Sunday: 💀

im following a tutorial by griffpatch on a great platformer... moving platforms, IT USES THE GLIDE BLOCK

if bounce on edge is useful for making easy bouncing, like this if touch bounce obj set x to x pos set y to y pos move 999 steps if on edge, bounce go to x, y,

It actually works. This is why you forgot if on edge, bounce change x by (-10) if on edge, bounce.

I think just a "bounce" block would be way more useful. there's a already so the only reason it exists is for the pong tutorial lol

Guess who is gonna make a scratch project with all of these blocks out of spite?

Yeah they need to be removed

I dont know why they have a "days since 2000" block. You could at least be able to change the year.

im pretty sure that in the day of the week, why it says 3 is because it probably thinks that a new week starts at Sunday

WDYM IF ON EDGE BOUNCE IS SO USEFUL!

If on edge bounce isn’t a useless block it’s just you’re using it the wrong way

I just realized the glide block is actually useful, you can make the sprite go to the mouse pointer without the go to block, here is what you need to put in the inputs: Glide Time: 0 Target: Mouse Pointer Put it in a forever loop, and then you are done! I even used it for my flappy bird game

umm, no. you're using some wrong or not thinking big. 1. if on edge is compatible with move step blocks, because those rely on direction 2. i barely use the backdrop header, but when I used to they were so useful for transitions in animations 3. indeed glide blocks are trash 4. touching color is good if you need a clone to touch another, because Scratch doesn't provide a block for touching itself 5. you said it was Tuesday when you were recording, and it showed 3. I don't know where you live, but the week mainly starts on Sunday. Also, once I created a calendar in Scratch using these blocks, but it DOES bug between days, so I have to open it twice.

The "color () is touching color ()" is useful for sense the body parts is touching the color.

I will NOT tolerate the "if on edge, bounce" block being called useless!

for the first one i dissagree, here is a simple script that uses the if on edge, bounce block: when flag clicked set rotation style to [left-right] forever move(3)steps if on edge, bounce what this script does is make the sprite walk left and right forever

I use glide A LOT. it's simpler than writing an entirely new script

2:15 no dude the block thinks the week starts on sunday

TBH, the 'if on edge, bounce' is stupid.

Nice video. However, 1. The "if on edge, bounce" block doesn't just flip the direction. If a sprite is going in any direction that isn't straight with the "move steps" block, it will change direction a lot better, which can be useful for beginners 2. Tuesday is day 3 because it starts the week on sunday 3. The "days since 2000" block might seem useless, but it's actually the most accurate time block in scratch, meaning it is useful in things like 3D projects.

Wait, the week starts at Sunday, it’s the only reson I got second place in a scratch competition, I forgot to +1

you're using the bounce block wrong... you cant see it bounce because it's always moving sideways.

Some people count Sunday as the first day even though it's the weekend that's why they call tuesday the third day of the week

for the flip problem in if on edge bounce, use left and right rotation

To fix glide you gotta change the position where is it gilding making it look better.

cool thx for that code! I LOVE it when u upload!!!

The official start of the week is Sunday, but I personally prefer to think of that as the last day of the week. Why else is it called a weekEND?

in the US the week starts on sunday which i agree that it shouldn't, ITS CALLED A WEEKEND NOT WEEKEND TO START

CURRENT DAY OF (WEEK) IS SO USEFUL

The If On Edge Bounce Block Is Actually Usefull If You Wanna Make A Game Like Pong

I bet that no one knew about block named "point towards ()" and I needed it one time (it's in motion category and comes after block (point in direction ()))

in the days of week block the calendar officially starts on Sunday for some reason, so it counts that

actually the if on edge bounce block is really useful! it can be used for pong games and more i personally think the days since 2000 block has NO USE FOR ANYTHING and it suck's

Bro, the first block is good for ping pong solo. Imagine having to code THAT out by some random 500 IQ math thing. It is useful. So please just say that it is YOUR oppinion. And no, im NOT a beginner

I use the glide block whether there’s titles for my character , it saves some time

I found a useless block "broadcast and wait block" who even uses this i have ever mistaken that in a scratch project.

2:11 The day of the week block starts on Sunday, 1 for sunday, 2 for monday and so on
