NEW Q/As by @zbsmobile
4.0 (To the extent appropriate to the HWS forum)
This is just a small bit of relevant info (7/9/26) Links coming soon
As of now, Scratch is still planning to add AI to scratch. But this will ONLY serve in a possible few roles: Music Development and Debugging. If you don't like this, don't say so here. I can't help you. Go complain somewhere else ;)
With every other scratch platform update, we've seen new blocks, so get ready! (Highly likely)
This forum will NOT be changing at all with 4.0 (as of now)
And yeah, that's about it. Not much else affects this :D
Coding Help
(7/9/26)
You can receive help here in the HWS forum by starting a New Topic. Do NOT post your coding troubles here. Other places to recieve help can be seen at my other sticky.

Programming questions:
Script for background transitions!
Use this script (thanks, @tajibear13!):when green flag clicked
show
go to x: (0) y: (0)
go to [front v] layer
set [glide v] to [1]
switch costume to (zoom v)
set size to (31) %
repeat (50)
switch costume to (small v)
change size by (glide)
change [glide v] by (1)
switch costume to (zoom v)
end
How to make the pen down only when in specific x and y positions?
Use this script (thanks, @Scratch-Minion!):forever
pen up
go to [mouse pointer v]
if <<(x position) = [-1]> or <<(x position) = [0]> or <(x position) = [1]>>> then
pen down
end
end
Scratchblocks questions:
How do you make the arrow that you can see in Scratchblocks dislay in forum posts (your own blocks, not the existing ones)?
Use @turnLeft (counterclockwise), @turnRight (clockwise), or @loopArrow (seen in repeat and forever blocks). For example:I will turn @turnLeft (0.21) turns!::motionI will turn @turnRight (0.18) turns!::motionI will loop this script above (4) times! @loopArrow::control(Please note that the @loopArrow will always come at the end of a block.)

Hey! This forum doesn't actually cover 3d. Crazy, right! For all questions about 3d and other “advanced topics”, go here and make a new topic
