1. The "If on edge, bounce" block is working; however, it's being used with a "change x by ()" block. If you use it with the "move () steps" block, it becomes more noticeable.
2. Completely agree.
3. The glide blocks are useful only for beginners; once you learn how to use Scratch, you can code much better glides without using them.
4. Agree; the touching color blocks are also much slower than sprite collisions.
5. The "current day of week" block returns 3 for Tuesday because the week starts on Sunday, not Monday; the reason why Sunday is often called a weekend is because things such as school, work, etc. begin on Monday and end on Friday.

The "days since 2000" block was useless until I found out that it queries system time, so it is volatile even when queried in run without screen refresh blocks. Super useful for diagnosing lag problems in 3D projects.

The [If on edge, bounce] block is actually really useful, it's just not being used right.
In my game "wheel shotgun", I use it so if you hit the edge, it bounces. The reason this is so useful is because it retains momentum, so if you hit the wall, at the same speed you were at, it moves the opposite direction.
The reason scratch cat is upside down, is because the direction facing is changed to the opposite

uses for all the scratch blocks you call useless:

1: If the If on edge bounce block was removed then it would limit creativity, and I've saw good uses for it.
2: The If the backdrop switches to backdrop2 or smh is a great subsitute for the broadcast block, especially since you don't need to do unnecessary coding with the broadcast block and when I receieve "broadcast1" (unless it is neccesary)
3: The glide block is decent, and is there for beginners to use, plus I depend on it to make my project feel alive (random movement for characters)
4: The if color is touching color block is useful for more than pen games, you can make a simple don't touch the walls game, or in my case color detectors, since the other one doesn't work for color detectors
5: you can make limited time events with this block you could customize it, maybe it only is there for Mondays, or maybe on Sunday's and Saturday's.

the glide block takes exactly 1 second to "glide" to the target position. That's why it sometimes moves at different speeds.

"Monday is the start of the week"



"Should we tell him?"

Edit: Mom I’m famous

[Epicwatermelondotzip]

The current day of week block is not glitchy, the week starts on sunday according to most calenders so it follows those calenders. If you think monday is the start of the week and want it to follow that instead, put it in a subtraction operator block and subtract 1. :)

0:20 You are supposed to use move 10 steps.
2:12 The week starts on Sunday in the US.

[BobChess]

I think "My Variable" variable is so useless. Tell me the time that you don't delete it.

[ADudeNamedCaleb]

How hasn't the "days since 2000" block been mentioned? It is way more useless than everything you have mentioned.

[teapot]

the glide block can be used for background objects and can be customized with some variables. so it still is pretty useful

[AdamXu-uw]

The when switch backdrop block is important. It can prevent backdrops switching 2 times with the left and arrow keys in a Find the thing game. The script "Forever [If (backdrop name = [name]then: hide [Else (Show)] has many bugs but we're lucky the switch backdrop block is here for us!

[Dra_gon]

Well, the week actually starts on Sunday, and Scratch uses the proper week

[UpMuncherGD]

the "if on edge, bounce" block only works with a "move () steps" block

[RuardOozer]

I think just a "bounce" block would be way more useful.
there's a <if touching edge block> already so the only reason it exists is for the pong tutorial lol

[moonbun.]

the if color 🟪 is touching color ⬛ is really useful for pen games since if its a drawing game where another color cannot touch a certain color its less useless than you think

[ollymation]

The glide block is really good if you use a setting on turbowarp

[Ulfric-yvxk]

YOUR USING "if on edge bounce" INCORRECTLY

[smf]

2:15 In the USA, the week starts on Sunday. Tuesday would be the third day of the week.

[lancerhandler]

you can also remove the change var by block, you can replace it with the set var to (var-1)
