Another noob mistake that happens using Scratch is sound effects. When you are using, "play sound effect until done", it means that the rest of the code after will wait until the sound effects stops to continue. However, when you use "start sound effect", it means it'll start playing the effect, but while it plays the code will continue. I also see the mistake used with the "forever" block. if you put "start sound effect", it will repeated start the effect. But if you put "play sound effect until done' it'll play the sound, and when it's done, it'll repeat. Trust me, it's simple, but it drove me mad!
Yes, that's a classic noob mistake. I talk about this topic at length in my video on syncing audio with actions in Scratch. th-cam.com/video/9x5Ez3c8A6E/w-d-xo.html
That's a pretty good summary. You could add lots of other ideas, but in our experience (we've taught beginner Scratch to literally thousands of kids) these are the mistakes and frustrations that come up most often on Day 1 of learning Scratch .
Thanks! You're not alone there. These noob errors aren't the obvious ones that a lot of scratchers would come up with. They come out of teaching hundreds of kids literally from scratch and seeing the things that trip them up on Day 1.
@@atomecstudios Hehe thanks! I still remember day 1... when i understood like 5 blocks.. and somehow i knew what was x and y coordinates was! Thanks for replying!!!1!!!!!1! Hope your channel will grow quickly!!
Also R.I.P Andy's projects, they had lots of potential, but sadly he was oblivious to the constitution for pro scratchers. Oh and also i love the new hacker cat! it could use more scratchish features like the original though.
I thought Miss Lynne did a fantastic job updating Scratch Cat's appearance to a more realistic art style, while still keeping the look and feel consistent with the original. What did you think was missing from this version? Thanks for watching, btw!
another idea for bitmap: if you're making a pixel game, then this will be helpful! AND another idea for vector: if you're making a hard-coded game, use vector sprites, don't forget NOT to click the blue button!
Yes, bitmaps do have their uses, especially if you're into pixel art. The problem is that Scratch beginners don't know the difference between the two modes and why each one is useful.
if only I could have tested this (I didn’t have my extensions so I couldn’t even stand looking at the editor or purple [I can’t even imagine seeing anything but dark blue in the navbar color and grey for the editor header color] for even 2 more seconds, and I was on an iPhone) before telling someone the default was bitmap
LOL. Thanks for your honesty! I've taught the same introductory Scratch lesson probably 200 times now, and it's remarkable how often the same little mistakes come up.
Incase you didnt know about the white background thing, theres another way to remove it, first select bitmap, then click on the fill icon, next select it on the orange diagonal line, and click the white background.
I remember when I was just a young teen and wanted to make games, and I say another noob mistake that people do is scale too big. By that I mean, they try to make big games like skyrim or minecraft as their first projects, when they should start small, like a game of pong or flappy bird
Yeah, that kind of falls under the category "Less Epic Please". I've noticed the same thing in my teaching. Everyone wants to make Minecraft, and then they fail and get frustrated. So much better to start with simple projects and build from there.
6:21 no no you cant use the web try using the bitmap and click the fill bucket and set color/op/brightness to none and click the white and Booommmm you have a png image right now
Have you posted the animation with the dinosaur? It's really funny and I wanna watch it, and if you did, what is your scratch account? I'll be sure to follow!
Ummm, I do have some extensions running (Scratch add-ons), including a pause button, which you can see right next to the green flag, but I think what you're describing is just the vanilla screen layout for Scratch 3.0.
@@atomecstudios Okay yeah I just checked on the scratch wiki and they changed the fullscreen from blue, moved it to the right, and moved the green flag and stop sign to the left. And I was wondering because I also saw the pause button.
Thanks for noticing!! Yes, we're very proud of this one. Can I ask what you liked so much about this one? We have some ideas, but we'd like to hear from our viewers as we plan future episodes.
@@Luke50789 Yes, we publish all the art we create for our tutorials and encourage kids to remix and make something cool with our characters. Thanks for your comment!
We're taking a little break while we work on a few things, including a brand new series that we hope to be premiering next week. Thanks for being patient.
I feel like another mistake would be when there is a winning line or an area where if you go on it you get points, and the mistake is that you don't make sure that they cannot do it too fast, so the points counter just skyrockets
Yes! That's one other mistake Andy made in his Super Street Racer 3 game. You can see that the score counter is goign crazy before the race even starts.

0:15 the offline editor: am i a joke to you?
2:54 ScratchJr: am i a joke to you?
You're right, of course. I'd forgotten that Scratch Jr. resets all the sprites when you click the stop sign.

The reset mistake was one that took me ages to figure out when I first started using scratch.
I've taught a LOT of beginners (hundreds of them), and this is definitely the error that comes up most often on Day 1.
3:51 I skipped 10 seconds and encountered Andy screaming louder than my headphones can handle
Sorry, we've tried to get him to chill a little, but Andy's a very poor listener.
bruh my ears can handle it
I used to make 2 out of 3 mistakes when i was new scratcher
LOL. Thanks for your honesty! I've taught the same introductory Scratch lesson probably 200 times now, and it's remarkable how often the same little mistakes come up.
Which one did u not?
I love this video, it's very funny and helpful
Thanks! That's exactly what we were aiming for!
I feel like everybody is like: must make character slide, like buddy, as far as I know, you don’t slide on stuff like grass and concrete like it’s ice
Incase you didnt know about the white background thing, theres another way to remove it, first select bitmap, then click on the fill icon, next select it on the orange diagonal line, and click the white background.
We did mention that in the tutorial. It used to be my go-to method, but AI software like remove.bg has been a game changer.
the forget to reset is a classic
But bitmaps are pixel. Are good for mario pixel
Amazing editing!
Thanks a lot!
@@atomecstudios No problem man!
Man he is very good his tutorials made me better scratcher

Not sure what you mean. Did you think Andy was supposed to be screaming? We just wanted him to stand there with a stunned look on his face.

the funniest part is not andy, but the fact that u called bitmap the BLUE BUTTON XDDD

can I send project to you?
