Someone here reported that the drop-down enabling you to select a random (or also the last) item of a List had disappeared in 3.0.

I found this odd because I had 2.0 project that used that feature and it works fine in 3.0. It just has the word “random” written in there, so I created this project Random 3.0 List Item to see if I could fudge it somehow.

I tried entering the word “random” directly but it wouldn't let me type an alpha string there, implying that I must enter a numeric value. Whilst I could have worked around that by placing (pick random 1 to (length of list)) in there, I decided to try a join of the word “random” with the null string to see if that would work and it did! As it also did with a join of the word “last” with the null string. So the back end of 3.0 obviously has support for those 2 options, all the Scratch Team needs to do to fix it is add the drop down back in to the front end. Meanwhile you can use my workaround.

Regards Greg

This is a very useful point. Thanks for this workaround, Greg!

You can also make it work by creating a variable, say “i” for item, and set it to “random” or “last” accordingly and putting the variable i in the item code block, and that also works. I have updated the above project to use that method when you press the r-key for random or the e-key for last. Regards Greg

My question is, if and when is a downloadable Offline version of Scratch 3.0 going to be available?

Regards Greg
It already is
https://scratch.mit.edu/download/

Also see here for an .msi version and other methods of deployment

(I'm simplesi on there)

Thanks, SimpleScratch. For Windows it says that the requirement is Windows 10+, but since the Online version of Scratch 3.0 works just as well on Windows 7 as it does on Windows 10, does that mean the Offline version will also work fine in Windows 7, even though they are advising Windows 10+?

FYI - I decided to try it … It seems to run fine on Windows 7 too!

When I use the reshape tool in the paint editor and make a new point, it makes an unwanted curve. What can I do to stop this? Or if I can't, could you fix it? Thanks!

Also, Where is the duplicate tool??

I'm loving the new Scratch! But I have a problem with the project editor. When I drag a sprite in the drawing area or try and re-size it, it doesn't show up on the screen anymore. I can still see it in the drawing area, but it's not on the project screen. (If you get what I mean. I'm not very good at explaining things.) I also have another problem. Sometimes my scripts don't work unless a "forever' block is around them. I've also experienced this problem in 2.0.
I hope this post is ok because it is my first forum post ever. I hope you can make Scratch even better!

I know, it happens with me too.

It is probably because the little grey cross, that marks the centre of the Sprite (and it is that + that is positioned on the x,y co-ordinate your code sends the Sprite to when you use “go to” or “move” or “set/change x/y”), is probably nowhere near where what you've drawn is. 2.0 used to have a centering Tool to enable you to easily pick where you want the centre of your Sprite to be, but 3.0 doesn't have it (yet?). But you can still re-centre your drawn Sprite by selecting everything that is part of it (might be a good idea to group all the components of your drawing first) and then dragging it over so that it sits over the little grey cross.

I was working on a project and made a message called Q&A Answers. I went onto another sprite and all of my code is gone! I tried it again and again and whenever I put anything on my project and switched to another sprite, it deletes all my code!!! Instead of showing the message when I first typed it in, it shows a blank message. I tried lots of things but none of them worked

I uploaded the project offline and it did the glitch anyways

Right now I am trying to make a project with pen and I found this weird thing. If the sprite that uses pen doesn't have a costume, or its costume is blank, the sprite can only draw/go(I don't know which) in one part of the project…, but if you add anything to the costume, it can draw alright again… It does this even if I have a “go to x: () y: ()” block and I enter in specific values, like “-163”. It is to be noted that it seems as if the pen can only go in one portion(quadrant) of the screen, so it could have something to do with negative and positive values not being handled correctly when using pen.

I have done some testing and I think when you put an & in a message it breaks it

Project sprites are loading blurry in the stage.
Images look low quality, blurry, foggy, or pixelated. Some people are noticing this particular when they full screen the stage, or they are noticing it on specific computers. People have also noted that this is affecting vector (svg) assets more.

We have made fixes to this, but if you see any other weirdness, please note it here and share what browser you are using. Thanks!

This is straight up not true. Sprites are still blurry and sometimes around 1 to 3 pixels around the edges are cut off.

For some reason, whenever I view something in full screen, it starts flashing and gets all glitchy. It doesn't matter if it's made in bitmap or vector, or if it's my project or someone else's. This started happening when 3.0 came out. Is there a way to fix this?

Seems like my issue is the saving. I added an audio and trimmed a silent part in it, and after that, I can't save it. It buffers, then says “Project could not save”, and wont save no matter how much I try. I imagine this is being worked on for a fix, but it is so annoying and I can't progress in my game until it's fixed T_T

the timing on awakening hibbuh is off. in 2.0, the timing was perfect.
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/258428636/
(the audio sync). hibbuh doesn't say “yeah” until a second after she says it.
also vector mode is blurry.

Has anyone had an issue where some variables wouldn't reset or even change? My game has some variables not reset to 0 or they don't update. Please fix Scratch Team my entire game is broken.

I had a similar problem with saving the project.
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/3392773
Then I reduced the bitrate of my mp3 from 320 to 192.
Its size has become less than 10 mb. File upload and project save were successful.

Either your wav file used a different compression, or Scratch 3.0 had some changes. Uploading your source file would help in investigation by professionals.
I think this is it. http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=67392200928643080590
I uploaded a wav file to the project, not an mp3.
This file is 1411kbps, 44100Hz and stereo. By calculations it uses 16 bits per sample. So this file has no compression at all. Therefore it must be some changes in Scratch 3.0.
@BDFISuperFan
I analyzed what Scratch 3.0 is doing.

Before audio is edited:

Scratch 2.0:
ADPCM conversion (4 bits per sample instead of usually 16)
mono audio (1 channel instead of usually 2)
no ZIP compression

Scratch 3.0:
no audio compression
ZIP compression

After audio is edited:

Scratch 2.0:
ADPCM conversion (4 bits per sample instead of usually 16)
mono audio (1 channel instead of usually 2)
no ZIP compression

Scratch 3.0:
only the left channel stored
ZIP compression

Aha, I thought the music sounded a lot less crunchy. It didn't compress it to mono, but instead it just used one side of the track.
I definitely prefer Scratch 2.0's method of compression.

The sprite sorting is broken/different in this project - https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/261463225/

Previously the snowman's buttons, pipe, etc would appear in front of the snowman whereas they all appear behind him now. It's not a massive issue and certainly one I can fix in the project but it is, never-the-less, working differently in 3.0 to how it worked in 2.0.
