I don't mean “not work” as in there's a bunch of bugs within the script, or whether it's a script that'll crash your browser, but as in if you were coding in javascript, and spammed your keyboard with a bunch of nonsense (example: hoqhguhelffdsnfaefiwuriewu).

Edit: The script has to be a script, so you can't do anything like

when green flag clicked
when green flag clicked
(volume)

hmm, could you simplify what you mean? sometimes my braincells can't process anything

I can't really think of anything other than this script. It probably doesn't count since it just doesn't run instead of not working, but it's all I can do.

when something happens I guess :: events hat
repeat ((1) - (2))
say [I shouldn't say anything]
end

Would this count?
Meant to return NaN.


3.0:

There isn’t really anything that’s equivalent to what you’re talking about. There’s scripts that don’t run, but none that result in the kind of syntax error you’re talking about. For the most part, there can’t be, as it’s a block-based programming language.

The closest thing is probably the “Infinity” result you get from trying to do invalid math. There’s also the Undefined Hat Block.

There’s some scripts that flat-out cause Scratch to crash. I suppose that would count as a script not doing what it’s supposed to do.

It’s against the Terms of Use to actually share a project using them, though.

That doesn't count.

I dont believe there are any possible scripts that can “error” without using hacked blocks, pretty sure ST (and Javascript) has put a “just in case” for basically every situation (like what medians showed, it returns NaN, but it doesn't completely break stuff)

Closest I can get is a block name, not a script. Name a custom block %, and look at the console. I don't think it should count because when you run it, it works just fine. It's just the naming that's broken.

There are probably also (JSON hacked) scripts that throw VM errors, but those are probably more like runtime errors than syntax errors.

when green flag clicked
if <[1] = [2]> then
do stuff
end

would this count?

Oh my god that's an annoying bug LOL, I have a project with a ton of variables but it loads up to this bug in 3.0, and I can't change it or it would break.

I'm not sure, but would a lot of old projects count?? By this I mean that they used to work in the past, but newer versions of Scratch broke the project.

actually thats a good point: any project that used to work but now crashes counts, as the reason errors exists in the first place is to prevent things such as crashes or to allow the computer to handle a situation it normal cannot (which normally results in a crash anyways)

Would these projects count then?

The thing with these though is that the scripts aren't the broken part I believe, but they are still “broken” I guess.

3.0:

That 3.0 image has colors from 2.0. I wonder why…
Edit: Now I just realised that the blocks are also shaped more like 2.0! (except for the define block, which has the shape from 3.0 but the color from 2.0)

They're either using the funny or they're on turbowarp.

How about this:

when green flag clicked
repeat (1.5)
move (1) steps
end

I believe so, as scratch is unable to load it, which would be the same thing if you made a program in a text based language and mispelt something, it is unable to run.

no, that would just repat once (or twice if it does ceiling)

I just tried TurboWarp and I found addons that allow me to make my blocks match 2.0's design! Funny enough, I was able to use the 3.0 Cat Blocks from April Fools Day with the old block shape and colors…
It's cool how TurboWarp can be customized.

I’m using the funny.
I wish 3.0 still had the custom block arc though

(1)/(0)

in 1.4.
