Is this possible with just using these blocks on 300 clones —

change [colour v] effect by (25)
change size by (10)
change [mosaic v] effect by (25)

So we repeatedly (300 times) run these blocks on clones, it increases size from 1 - 300, mosaic effect from 0 - as much as possible, and colour effect from 0 - as much as possible. What I think this will do is, it will generate extremely small 300 SVG scratch cats, with a size of 1, mosaic of 0, then as it goes up, size changes by 1 and mosaic by 25, so it increases SIZE and MOSAIC effect, which will make a lot of other smaller SVG scratch cats, greater than 300, all in vector, changing their colour and spawning even more tiny little vector cats every frame, almost exponentially, with so much rasterization (GPU having to convert complex vector into a 960 x 720 bitmap) happening, can a device's GPU ultimately crash because of this?

Since a lot of devices become slow with some very basic vector animations, I think this exponential vector spawning can have some pretty huge effects.

Also this is just my curiosity — I do NOT plan on intentionally crashing others' devices.

Use the Online editor!

Also what about this script?


I'm not responsible for it's after effects btw

I've tried something similar with the scratch lab text extension, with my only goal being to crash scratch. Didn't work, although only size was involved, not color or mosaic.

GPU Usage shot up like CRAZY on an M1 MacBook Air while running the above script



and then once it started lagging I stopped the project.

and no, it wasn't coincidence, it happened again

Actually I just remembered that I have firsthand experience of a computer crashing from a scratch script. All it took was infinite custom block recursion on a not-very-powerful laptop.

if it actually causes the computer to shut down/blue screen, or black screen (gpu), then something is wrong with the computer

Somehow i got a bsod from this:

when green flag clicked
create clone of [ v]

when I start as a clone
create clone of [ v]

i think it's time to get a new computer lol

Most browser-computer combinations have limits to prevent a tab crash from causing a full browser crash or a computer crash, so it's not likely, but it has happened on some older computers (like Windows 7) that I've used before! XD

There is a fix already available for this (made by me! XD) but the ST won't implement it until they have time to review it. LOL!

it didnt work aaaa
but it lags a lot lol

ok try this and wait until the project stops on it's own then

at the end when you moved your cursor over the “save to your computer” icon your cursor didn't change, probably because it lagged out a lot lol

see

also i think chrome has protection for this - so it lags it out until 1FPS so that your computer doesn't crash so that's good
