If you make a variable with a control character, Scratch freaks out. I used it here. Expected: show variable or give undefined hat block. Output: either pallete or code blocks disappear depending on if you have reloaded the code yet.

To reproduce: Make a new variable. Make sure its name contains . Once you reload the code, the blocks go invisible. Copy paste this control character: 

Here's a GIF of me recreating this glitch.


Notes: This glitch can also be done with broadcasts, and can be done using local variables. You can also view a newer topic with more control character glitches here.

Strange, I can't make the variable, if the name is blank (including spaces being added), then it won't be created. I will be looking into this.

I didn't notice my post was partially deleted by BBCode. Also I did use the globe, but hid it.

I see now, I can replicate

When I create the variable with  as it's name, all the variable blocks disappear from the palette, and only the variable reporters remain. When I try to make another variable with  as the name, it says that the variable already exists.

I tried to recreate this but it did not work.

You should not do this. If you do, the Scratch Team may remove your project for trying to discourage remixing. Scratch projects are intended to have all code visible, so when there is code in a project that is not visible, the Scratch Team may remove it.

I forgot but, you can’t put spaces in variables.

Also on mobile it seems that if code is too big it becomes invisible.
