TurboWarp - Scratch mod with a compiler, dark mode, addons, and a lot more

GarboMuffin

This is a bit overdue.

If you haven't heard of it already, TurboWarp is a mod of Scratch that I've been working on for a little while. It's got a lot of features:

a compiler that runs projects up to 100x faster than normal Scratch
a whole bunch of customizable addons
dark mode
interpolation
high quality pen
custom stage size
a desktop app, like the Scratch Offline Editor
a project packager, like HTMLifier
unsandboxed extensions and custom extensions
and a lot more

The code is fully open source on GitHub.

If you have any feedback or bugs, do let me know.

Wasn't there already a TW topic before, or is this the first one?

This is the first one. It's only about two years late : )

Pretty cool mod for:

Collaborations
Archiving [old scratch projects, lower than ID 104]
Lucky dip [where you enter in a random ID and indulge in the content of that id]
H[elp] w[ith] S[scripts], where if you don't want to share your project through Scratch, then you can simply share a link through this mod.

Why is that? Because of the fact that this mod allows you to see unshared projects.

How do I load custom extensions?

this may sound stupid

no
you have to put the code of the extension online
on something like pastebin or github
pastebin is easiest to be fastest
make the paste and click “raw”
sorry the image is horrible

You have to find the URL of the extension's script, but even then right now custom extensions aren't particularly useful. We're working on making some big improvements though. You can play with the prototypes at https://extensions.turbowarp.org/. These extensions aren't arbitrarily restricted by any sort of sandbox.

Funny timing as today was the day. For anyone who hasn't noticed yet: https://docs.turbowarp.org/unshared-projects

I'm happy to see it finally fixed. The TurboWarp project will continue on without change – things like the compiler and addons have always been the focus. Unshared projects were always something that just happened to work.

In other news, TurboWarp's scope is increasing as we're adding community-developed unsandboxed extensions (ie. new blocks) soon-ish (dealing with unshared project related changes may push this back a few days). Maybe another increase in scope is due. Massive maybe.

Basically, this in a nutshell:
“Compiler has been a focus, in other news, we decided to add something that contradicts what I said earlier.”

i am excited to see what unsandboxed extensions will do! will it be possible to completely overwrite turbowarps renderer?

i use arch linux (btw) with the linux zen kernel and enjoy writing silly things in silly languages using silly frameworks

Compiler and addons are still a focus. We're just adding another item to the list that we were working on already prior to the unshared project situation. Note that this list is nonexhaustive.

I don't know about “completely overwrite”, but they can do a lot.

Neat that unsandboxed extensions are a thing now! However, what is not so neat is not being able to load extensions unsandboxed that don't come from extensions.turbowarp.org, not even from github.

Letting anyone just run arbitrary JavaScript on the turbowarp.org domain unsandboxed would be very bad, so we need to somehow curate them. We don't want to be a conduit for phishing or other bad things. The requirements to get a .js file onto extensions.turbowarp.org are not going to be particularly high but getting it listed on the site or in the extension library may be harder. Gatekeeping users from being able to use cool extensions is not the intent of this system.

…well, github repos are open source…
