I thought, for instance, that -Scratcher-'s project, GuessTheMesh, would have looked better with an ultra-turbo mode.

Or…
My new block idea! It would look like this:
with turbo% at ()
end

And what it would do is-well, I did an experiment to see how much a variable can increase by in 1 second, and the result was about 60, but with turbo mode, it was about 2500! However, with this block, every action inside it will take 1÷# secs. So if the block said “with turbo% at (1)”, then every action would take 1÷1 secs, or 1 secs. But if the block # was 2, then every action would take 1÷2, or 0.5 secs. So that would fix the problem, because you could just wrap the scripts around the block and write in a large number. Plus, if you write in a negative number, you can make the scripts go slower! What do you think? With this script, you don't need turbo mode!

Turbo mode means there's no screen refresh, its a yes no thing, no inbetweens.
Either you do all the code in a row, non stop, or leave the typical delay so you get 60fps

What are fps?

Frames per second.

Okay, so maybe it should not be called “with turbo% at ()”. Or is that not what you mean? What is a screen refresh? Is it like when you press F5 or reload the browser? Because I don't see anything the matter with my idea. I am so bewildered!

Mouth block is actually called a c-loop. Screen refresh is right after a block is played, so that with

repeat (10)
change {ghost} effect by (10)
end

it fades smoothly. But if you make a block called “fade away” and click “run without screen refresh” in the options dropdown and place the above script in it, it will cut right to ghost effect 100% because it plays all the blocks without showing you immediately after.

Turbo Mode is like this.

Actually, you get 30FPS ^_^.
The ST seem to have used the default Flash framerate.

Maybe it will make more sense if I come back to it. But maybe if the turbo% is more then some number, then it would run without screen refresh.

Bump. This became one of my oldest posts.

Did you know in Snap! there's a warp block which is similar to what you're suggesting?

Yes, I actually did!
