Scratch for no reason: *purple seems like a good starter color*
it's the looks block colour
True.
It's not even a nice shade of purple. its the most neon, ugly, and terrible color they could find.
@@QuantumScratcher then why is the looks tab purple! (â âŻâ àČ°â â ~â â àČ°â )â âŻâ ïž”â â â»â ââ â»
i mean, its not illegal
One way to include an intro, is to have it be no longer than 3 seconds. And even better is if you make it only show up the first time you click the green flag. That is done by having a variable called "seen intro". When green flag clicked, check if the variable is = to 0. If it's 0, then show the intro. After the intro is finished, set the variable to 1. If you click the green flag and "seen" intro is not 0, then just go onto the game. One more thing, make sure to save the project with the variable set to 0, or else it will never show the intro.
Doing all that allows you to use an intro, and the player won't get annoyed every time they restart.
actually this is a smart idea, but it depends on whether the game/animation is a simulator or not.
Wonât work. If someone is playing, it will cause the next to not have the intro. You also need a username detector.
@@dagamer667_ That only happens if the variable is a cloud variable.
@@dagamer667_ have you ever heard of 'not initializing variables shen you click a flag but instead when you click the _save now_ button?' Because what that does is it makes it so that variable doesnt reset when you click the flag and you can carry info across flag clicks, you dont need a cloud variable for it

I share my projects unfinished and finish them, to build the tension for the finished game.
Timestamps :)))
0:03 Make a thumbnail
2:17 Use notes&credits for your description
2:45 add tags
2:59 add a high score variable
4:35 don't add an intro >:((((
5:02 tags don't always work
Thnaks
For the highscore, DO NOT put the âshow variable âïžhighscoreâ in the âIf score > âïžhighscoreâ because then you only see the highscore if you got the highscore.

#2: *use every single tag imaginable*
#5: *don't use any tags at all*
Yeah i know. In one of my projects I've done too many. The only thing that was actually useful was the thumbnail. I have a scratch addon that sets your thumbnail outside the project, but not inside so it looks really weird.
@@kalebkjohnston5960 most of this feels satirical, but thumbnails are always good
Thatâs for animated thumbnails
no, #5 is not to not use any tags, it means to not use the tags that are in the explore, like games art music animation tutorial...
â@@kalebkjohnston5960same
Cool way to make a title for your thumbnail: add the title with no outline, then copy so that you have 2 text in the same spot. Select one of them, add an outline then make it appear behind the text with no outline. It looks very cool but it's weird when you have to change it. Works with sprites too if you want a sticker efect. Sorry for bad explaining, I'm not very good at English
I used that method for the title in both the thumbnail and the main menu in a game Im working on at the moment, and it allows me to add more layers and colors rather than just one outline. And your english is good, it was just poorly explained but at least I understood it
#6 (probably the most important one) use an old project that's been aging in your unshared for months. scratch projects need to be indexed into the system before they're able appear on trending or the search results. projects can be indexed while unshared though, so once you finish your game, download the file and upload it into an unshared project with an old url. check the trending tab and see which project has the highest url to know if you're project has been indexed yet.
BROOO thankyou so much, this really helped and the tutorial was really easy to use as well :)
your system for thumbnails is better than the one that i used!
my system used 4 blocks that you can stack and two events, yours uses 3 stackable blocks and 1 event! Thank you!
For the thumbnail you can simply do that :
(When đŽclicked)
Put the effect ghost at 100
If you remove the "repeat forever" block, it may increade fps on wear devices
I was wondering why he added a forever loop
or u can use scratch addons and upload a thumbnail
OMG this helped so much! thanks.
Thankyou so much for the tips.
0:03 what is that "subscribe to Jackson academy" doing in the mail icon?
this editing is so good holy crap
thank you!
THX love u for helping me with the thumbnail bro really appreciate it
Thank you!
This tutorial is pretty nice for newer creators, however for the 1st tip, the show block in the forever loop is useless, it is already shown as default. only hide blocks are not shown as default, so if you wanted it to hide instead you would've had to put that in the loop. also for the 3rd tip, i would prefer the highscore always being hidden or shown, but never toggled. A creative way to show you got a highscore would be a text popping up when you die saying "A NEW HIGHSCORE!", which could just be made by duplicating the end screen costume and adding the text, with it switching to the first costume when green flag is clicked, as it has no default, and it only switched to the last costume it was at when the game was last saved, and when the score = highscore, it will switch to the second costume, and it shows when you lost. Also for the 4th tip, you CAN use an intro, as long as its short, or if its skippable, by pressing a button to skip. It should also be known that you can skip the intro, by including some text at a corner. Also, in the 2nd tip you explained to have a lot of tags, but in the 5th tip, you explained to NOT have tags. Personally i would just use one or two tags that fit, as one time i worked on a really big project and put a lot of tags, but then that led to less views than my other projects. Definitely would recommend this tutorial to newer creators, but does need some fixing. overall, good tutorial, nice job.
highscore system is the simpliest one a scratch user would think!
Im 44th on trending games rn, physics engine. But these are some good tips
My game was really close to be featured in ur video. It was on tending #12 in games. LOL
I never thought of the script in 2:02 for the thumbnail. Thanks for the helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! SMASH SUBSCRIBE
@@JacksonAcademy1 Already did a long time ago :)
i subscribed and turn bell icon on
Intros are good, as long as they are skippable. Also, please for the love of god don't overtag it. It's just going to make me hate you more if you tag something that's not even remotely loud. The best advice I can give is don't be afraid to ask for help. For example, I'm a coder and a musician, but my art is literally just circles. On the other hand, I have friends who love art but struggle with code and songs. So they'll teach me how to draw an oval and i'll show them why glide blocks deserve to die.
glide blocks DO deserve execution tho
whats wrong with glide blocks
@@radicalquad they are a sin against humanity.
basically they look super bad when used for nearly any type of movement, they're beginner level blocks that mislead new scratchers trying to make something move smoothly, and they can basically be seen as the "say" block but for motion
also velocity >>>>>>> gliding
â@@duplexx58 i don't think glide blocks look bad, but i do agree that they shouldn't be used in advanced code.
@@duplexx58 Although not appropriate in all circumstances, they are great for beginners.
can you do a tutorial for converting cloud variables from numbers to letters? for example an encoding method could be A = 01, B = 02 and so on, so HAT would be saved in the cloud variable as 080120, then it would be set to HAT when decoded
I am pretty sure you can find a tutorial on the Scratch Wiki! Search up Scratch Wiki cloud encoding and decoding, and I think there will be some results. The Scratch Wiki also has so much more tutorials, check them out sometime!
@@sugarcookie297 it's okay, I already know how to do this! I'm just suggesting this for him for other people to find out how!
If they do make a tutorial for this they better have a disclaimer saying that making a free chat room is agenst scratch terms of service

Also in scratch, if there isn't a Cloud variable option for your variables, you are NEW SCRATCHER, so wait a month or two and register as a Scratcher
Edit: it's only 2-3 weeks to register...
thank you so freaking much
i waited exactly a week
@@ChillKillaBetamaybe you joined 3 weeks ago
i waited exactly 2 weeks
Thank you so much
You made the thumbnail look so easy!
Im lucky I found this before day before yesterday
an annoying thing on scratch in my opinion is when i see MORE PLATFORMERS THAN ANIMATIONS in the ANIMATIONS category
What if you have the rays backdrop for 1.?
titles screens are also important
†thanks for the help â€
A very good video!!!!! Thank you.
whats your font that you used in your eiditing
Thank you
THE EXPLORE PAGE OMG YES *cri*
To touch up stuff in the thumbnail one: you can also include the "brightness effect: (4)"
why brightness effect?
@@JacksonAcademy1 to make it shine a tiny bit
love the background song
that thumbnail for this video is hell on scratch I could not handle that many messages.
love the mr bean remix in the background
If you need to just press crtl a
To select all
Sizing a new circle with shift makes it more accurate
Actually having a good panzoid intro can't do you any harm if you clearly state how to skip it
thank you
i can do that this too.
green flag pressed
set [ghost] effect to (100)

How do I get cloud variables
I can't do the thing where you make a variable a cloud variable thingy. How can i do it?
Also how can I make it where if you miss a normal speed apple (you have to catch them in my game) you die?
Also this was a good video!
You have to be a scratcher to make the cloud variables, if you're a new scratcher it won't work.
For the apple lose, try When Green Flag Clicked >Forever>if stop all (or whatever you want in here.)
@@JacksonAcademy1 ok
working fine thank you
How do I make this work with variables?
Oh look its Captain fluffy :D
This is very helpful
Most importantly, make it playable. If there is nothing to play or do in the game that isn't mildly interesting or replayable. The game will probably flop.
0:18 - I know how to do it from the project page. It can even be animated!
One of the most annoying things about Scratch, is when you update your game, each individual change is live. When you make changes, there should be an âUpdateâ Button that applies all changes that youâve made to the Public Version.
Basically, you go into your Project, make changes, press âUpdateâ, then done. When you exit the Project before pressing update, you will still have the update option the next time you go on it, it will save the changes. When you go onto your Project, it wonât show the updated changes until you go into the code and back, unless you press the âUpdateâ Button, and then the changes will be Public.
I think thereâs a workaround by downloading the Project, then loading the updated version onto the Project after, but itâs annoying, it should just be a Scratch Feature.
The fact that you could download a copy of the game then re-uploading the new version, just made your 3 paragraphs impractical.
JACKSON ACADEMY: number three
THE SCREEN: *number four*
There is a much easier way to do the coding for number 1!
You can just put when green flag shown then put hide then just save the project!!
is that the mr bean intro music remix on the backgrounf?
The Mr bean music in the background do be fire đ„
Thanks.
5:53 yore big brain
is that the animated mr bean theme tne in the background?
$:46 Why can't you add a keypress or button to skip the intro? That would allow players that played it for the first time to see your intro and returning players could easily skip it. You tell them what key to press AFTER they complete the first objective in your game.
1:51 (How to make thumbnail)
All you have to do is, "when green flag clicked, set ghost effect to 100".
i cant use cloud variables and idk why
broooooooo thankss
I like how you used inspect source to change the message number to "Subscribe to Jackson Academy!"|

@@JacksonAcademy1 OMG ITS IDOMP, I D O M P
OH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH
What is that clip at 2:45?
"K"- Everyones dad while texting
If you really want an intro, make sure there is a skip button, and state it in the intro, don't say it only in the description, write a text on screen:
"S for Skip"
Until the intro finishes! Great way for you to get your intro but not disturb the potential likes!!
4:33 number 3?
I dont have the cloud variable (stored on server) what should i do??
It's because you are a new scratcher, to become a scratcher share two projects, comment, and favorite on a project and wait for about 2 days
Hey1 I love intros! In fact, my intro is so simple!
And if i put a tag called #all?
there is literally no use, your game is going to show up in the "All" category anyways
1:09 THE CAPTIONS FOR THIS đđđđđđđđđ
i cant create a cloud variable on mine
All i do for an intro is just have my logo flash up on a black screen while a sound effect relating to the game plays
How do i make the variables hide when the thumbnail comes
Go To Front block in the Looks category, or just use the "Show Variable" and "Hide Variable" block in the variables category. When the green flag is pressed, show the variable, and then when you want to show the thumbnail, hide all of the variables.
Him using Mr bean music lol
Bro they have a mr bean trap music in background
why was there a mr bean animated series intro trap remix at the beginning
purple is the worst default color but luckliy im colorblind
I do not have a cloud variable
I don't have a cloud variable
Wow i never new thisđ
how to make a cloud?
it dosent work on me
you have to be a scratcher
Yeah sure add a score when im making an animation
You dont need a forever loop for the thumbnail one
actually, you need to put the "Go to Front Layer" in the forever loop, incase you have sprites in your game that change layers, you want to be sure that the thumbnail is in front of them all.
wth is the music mr bean remix but nvm btw i learned how to make a thumbail TYSM!!!!
I maked a game named "Ticket Clicker" but after some days, Scratch banned the game. Why? Can someone explain it?
Scratch's moderation system is controlled by a cat. that's why
1) mass reporting. This happened to a Henry stickmin fangame so many times they had to move to gamejolt.
2) Something bad inside of the code, or if your whole account got banned then maybe something bad in a unshared project
what about music?
Can you make a video addressing how to make your game NOT automatically update? If you already have one can you give me a link. And if it isn't possible then just say it please, thank you :)
What do you mean by not automatically updating? Not saving then automatically publishing the changes? Well, Scratch auto saves, so it would be difficult to stop this unless you turned off your internet connection so it physically can't update, or experiment with your changes on a downloaded version of the project. You can do this by pressing file, save to this computer. You can work on it in offline Scratch, and when you are done, you can go back to the original web project on Scratch, click file, upload from this computer, and click override changes. (replace current project)
When I did the thumbnail, the thumbnail replaced my game over sprite. What should I do?
it wont let me make a cloud varable
When's airplane shooter ep 3? Or zombie shooter season 2 episode 2 (first btw)
