How long is the delay with forever blocks?
first post woohoo
anyway, if i have a forever block and a task in it (example: move 10 steps) or something, what delay does it have when it completes the task once?
i've gone around searching and it says “there's a slight delay with the forever block” but it never specifies the exact number. how long delay pls help??
i've done some experimenting and i think it's 1/60th of a second.

I think about 1 frame or so.

Not sure what you mean exactly, but Scratch runs at 30 FPS.
So the equation would be 1/30

It is 1/30, but if you run it in turbo mode or under a define block with “run without screen refresh” ticked, the code will run it as fast as it can (without drawing the screen).

But will be slower than 30 fps if you give the project too much to do in one frame and a forever loop can run faster if there are no screen refreshes being done.
