Right, so everybody is saying the word glitches. But what actually are they and how do you fix them? Please help.

ask [What are glitches and how do you fix them?] and wait

A glitch is basicly something that's not meant to happen. To fix them, you need to go in the code and use your brain and shuffle blocks around

Ok, thanks!!!!

To fix a glitch, look through your scripts and try to figure out what's causing the glitch to happen, then using that knowledge try to rework your code to prevent it from happening. See if you've made any logical errors or even accidentally placed the wrong block somewhere, the latter one especially can happen pretty often.

If you're using variables, one thing I find helpful is to show every variable on-screen and see if any of them are behaving weirdly. For example, if you have a variable with a ridiculously high value or one that's rapidly increasing beyond what it should be, you know there's probably some bugged code that has to do with it.

From my experience, most of the time it's just scratch being annoying and you need to create workarounds to things, for example, a variable increases 30 times a second but when you remove a motion block it starts increasing 500 times a second since scratch tries to iterate it fast. I suggest adding some motion blocks to fix this like

change x by (0)

Some other glitches include:
sprite appearing at the side of screen, you can fix by changing

(size)

sprite not going to the correct size, you can fix by

switch costume to [blank v] //you would need to create a blank costume

or you would need to click the green flag twice, that's because you used too many

when green flag clicked

and there are plenty of common glitches, I rarely see a wrong block being the reason

usually when i have glitches (sometimes referred to as bugs) I'll just pretend they are features

but this probably isn't the best approach. if something isn't working as it should then you'll need to check your blocks and make sure that you understand exactly how it works and the outcomes. then find the part that causes the issue and switch it out for something that doesn't cause the glitch.

if you've got any glitches you can't solve don't hesitate to ask them in help with scripts.

glitches are when something wrong happens but it fixes it self, a bug is when the code is not how you want it to be
