Can you comment out code in Scratch?
Hi, I have some code I would like to keep around in one of my projects, but would like for it to be ignored at runtime. Is there anyway to comment out code in Scratch?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You can just drag in into the code area for the sprite where it is not hooked up at all to any events. It will just float in the code area and not run. You can then slide it back in when you are ready to use it.
Another thing I do is to put experimental code into its own block, use the “make a block” feature. At the beginning of that block put a “if testing=1 then” around the whole thing. You can then turn the testing variable on/off when you want/don't want the testing code to run.

Can you comment out code in Scratch?
Yes! Refer to the image below:
The chunk of code in the upper left of the image will not run with your project. They will just sit there. The chunk on the lower left WILL run with your project because of the “When green flag pressed” hat. All of the pieces of code on the right are event hats and will run any code you have attatched to them given the corresponding event.
Hope this helped! Scratch on.

Can you comment out code in Scratch?
You can not comment out code in Scratch like in JavaScript or HTML, but you can drag two blocks apart from each others so they are still next to each other, just not attached and functioning.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please ask em on my profile.

The problem with splitting a block of code is that if you want to run the code after the section you're ‘commenting out’ you have to join that back on and it can then be confusing where the original code was.
Another option is to stick an if round the code and give it something you know will be false

normal codeThis makes it easy to put the code back ( if 1=1) while still testing and the if can be removed once you're done with it.
if <[1] = [2]> then
commented out code
end
normal code

Wow I love this idea deck! I've been struggling with this problem for ages - coming up with all kinds of weird code placement protocols for “commented out” code. Thanks!
