I'd recommend mentioning that you can close topics when they are solved.
This topic is pretty old (written in 2013), so I doubt the @Hardmath123 updates it anymore.
so, should there be a new one?

No, that's not what I was saying. This topic is extremely well written and is a very good explanation of the ATs, so I don't think there should be a new one.

Help improve the Advanced Topics (Really!)
Before you create a topic:
Always search for duplicates or other similar topics before making an umbrella topic, e.g., “The Mac Topic”.

Is it about something you are planning on making but haven't made yet? If so, please wait to post until you have created a working prototype. This is a key factor to keeping the ATs as clean as possible.
The ATs aren't technical support. It is perfectly valid to ask questions about things related to programming, but not issues with external websites, apps, or devices. Most sites have their own support system; try asking there!
Is it related to something you are making in Scratch? (This includes OSes and other Scratch projects) If so, please post in Collaboration, Show and Tell, or another similar forum.
Is your topic questionably “advanced”? Try browsing the other forums to see if your topic fits better in one of those.
Issues with Scratch itself should be put in Bugs and Glitches.

Before you post: Is what you're posting likely to start an argument or derail the thread (e.g., browsers, operating systems)? If so, please re-think your post!

How do you change your location to AT?

change your location to A(dvanced) T(opics) via https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/31/ or are you asking about using scratch blocks?

EverythingIsNothing

Hello fellow Scratchers!

I use firefox browser, and wanted to use the animated thumbnail toolkit.

I follow the tutorial to the full extent, but nothing is happening.

Is there a loophole or is it chrome-exclusive?

I found a way to make sprite activate with the enter key (in Scratch). Now, some of you may have noticed that the is no option for enter in the

<key [ space] pressed?>

Well, I found a way to do it! There are multiple ways, such as using hack blocks and join blocks, but there is another very simple way. It also works with keys such as ?,/,` ~, and keys that are already in the blocks.

when green flag clicked
set [ my variable] to [enter]

forever
if <key (my variable) pressed?> then
move (10) steps
end

Does it work for CTRL, ALT, the F keys and other special keys?

No, unfortunately it doesn't.

There's a Scratcher who makes hack blocks, blocks that are made because of custom block glitches. He's made blocks in Scratch like a while loop, a loop that repeats until a certain condition is false, If then blocks where you can insert variables, a boolean titled loud

<loud>
end

that's not a custom block, and the strangest of all, a block called the red hat block, which is a define block that is bright red and has no words on it. He's also made the enter key appear in the drop down menus of key pressed blocks.

if <key [enter] pressed?> then

That's just editing the JSON. The while block and for loop are built into Scratch, just not exposed in the toolbox (according to @GarboMuffin, who I asked a while ago on their profile).

The best way to enjoy the ATs is to learn the basics of a couple of languages. The most useful are Python, JavaScript, and PHP, since most cool projects are in those languages.

According to a survey I conducted, almost nobody here knows PHP anymore after nearly a decade.

Would it be possible to edit the topic, as it hasn't been updated in a while? @Hardmath123 probably won't “get back to you ASAP” as they are in college.

I want to create a Scratch Mod, but I'm not sure how. I'll probably have to learn HTML before I start.

No, this is a bit confusing. Obviously, in other coding languages, repeat loops are called while loops, he just made a loop that repeats until a certain condition is false and called it a while loop.

It's not blockspam if it is related to the post

Actually, you don't. Scratch is written almost entirely in JavaScript and JSX (JS with React elements). Though it would be advisable to first start by learning HTML, then CSS, then making your pages interactive with JavaScript, then writing the page itself with JavaScript (the way that Scratch and a lot of other websites do).
