Yes. I want a way to include a project >= 1 MB for scratch projects which can replace the loading screen after it was loaded.

What could that be useful for? Well, you could have a custom loading screen, for example the thumbnail. But then you could just use a picture or a gif. No, you would be able to make some loading music. Or a snake game! Imagine some loading music! That would be soooo innovative! Well, C64 games did that, but who cares?

Pros: Well …. would be nice.
Cons: I dunno. It wouldn't really increase the loading time, projects can have 10 MB, so 10 or 11, who cares? Also, a funny loading screen may make it seem like less time.

What if the loading screen project has a loading screen project?
What if the second loading screen project had the first loading screen project as its loading screen project, therefore creating an infinite loop?

Ooh, this is an amazing idea! You can also have fun with it… like turn it into a fake game or something! Support!

If you make a project which immitates the look of a loading screen, it would
  1. show a loaading screen while loading the loader project
  2. show and instantly start the loader project
  3. show the project itself (not starting)
  4. You would press the green flag and the standard project would start.

Would that still apply if you assign a project (Project A) another project (Project B), so that Project B is the loading screen for Project A, and Project B is assigned to Project C, so that Project C is the loading screen for Project B? And what if Project C and Project A are the same thing? Will they infinitely loop?

No. You can only add an unshared project as the loading screen and only one which doesn't already have one.

Impossible because of autoplay policies. Basically websites can't play sound until the user interacts with them. If it somehow gets implemented anyway, the loading project
  • should not itself have a loading project,
  • should have a very small size limit so it loads quickly,
  • should always have a subtitle saying “Loading” so the user isn't confused.

But the loading animation is kinda an autoplay thing …

Some YT videos start when you open the tab. Sometimes, I dunno when.
