If I would be to have a hacked block in a sprite and a new update comes out that breaks the block, what happens to the code?

Is the hacked block removed, the script which contains the hacked blocked removed or is the entire sprite deleted?

Nothing is removed, but the block stops working.

I remember during the 2.0 to 3.0 switch, I was using this pen text engine that was using hacked blocks… After the update the text engine's code would no longer show in the editor

Interesting. I know that the

set (join [] []) to (0)

hack became something like

set [join:with: v] to (0)

It wasn't deleted.

Oh wait I must be confused, the code did show up though nothing happened when you used it… Ignore that.

I have went through Scratch's blocks' source code and the popular ones of them should still be supported but invisible in the GUI. You can find more information here-
https://github.com/LLK/scratch-vm/issues/355 , https://github.com/LLK/scratch-vm/issues/1030 and https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1z-g6p_oOcTXFeFWfTFo7HQVsi0Z7bnqVUl-mQK9YgQI/mobilepresent?slide=id.g34ac6c6732_0_8 .

I have noticed that it is possible to break blocks and cause them to vanish. I lost an entire script once due to the below:

This wasn't exactly hacking, but it definitely was exploiting the blocks a bit in the editor. I could paste in certain unicode characters that were not recognised and make them disappear:

I was testing things like ASCII control charcters which ended up being weird.

Other times, things like this happened:

// reports undefined in the disabled part

Whoa! Will you paste the character here?

Or at least tell which character it was.

I cannot remember which one it was. It might work for many characters, but you would have to test it. It's a non-printable character. That's all I remember.

I had also tested a unicode middle dot (bullet point) which caused blocks to be deleted. Not sure if it still happens or not.

The reason I was using weird characters was when trying to find a working separator character that didn't use the printable English characters. I wanted to have all the characters plus a separator in strings which I thought might work for something I said above.

Edit: I made a project on my alt a while back https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/302504830/

I am not sure if this fits here, just excuse me if not

Hi @awesome-llama, i have this https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396212882/ with a lot of printable emojis, most of them should be working fine on online editor, some doesn't work in offline ediitor though. Also, even when it is supossed to show right in any modern browser it could fail depending what web browser is your.
