If I have a background as a sprite it doesn't work 😭😭😭😭

"If we click stamp and drag scratch cat, he has happily left a copy of him"... THE MOST BEAUTIFULL SENTENCE OF THIS VIDEO😃😃

[danielobambelo]

I haven't even watched the entire video and I already learnt more than in 10 programming classes. I am not joking. This dude is amazing.

Best Secret: 11:45! The lemon is so nice at events!

It’s amazing that someone is so dedicated to Scratch for so long. Great job Griffpatch!

Thank you so much Griffpatch, you helped me a lot on my projects. My teacher also loved how the effects work!

[quade-mc]

If anyone is wondering why the scratch cat becomes pixelated when it is stamped, it is because it is transformed from a vector graphic to a bitmap. Vector graphics are scalable but when it is transferred it snaps to the resolution of the scratch canvas which isn't the same as your screen.

There is actually a way to do the outline for the levels in the costume section that requires no code! All you have to do is:

First select everything in the costume.
Then duplicate it, after that click the go to back layer button.
After that make sure not to click anywhere and change the outline by 10.

It will give off the same effect but you can increase and decrease the outline weight.

The casual replacement of the events tab with a lemon got me so good lol

[taya-kid]

This is so helpful Griffpatch! Also I like how your events tab is a lemon! o_o

[Vusal]

Thank you so much Griffpatch!. Now my games are even more difficult😄

[hydration_fnf]

Thanks, this was cool! I tried this with a sine and cosine to move the sprite, and it made a great round outline without needing to disable rotation!

[flaming]

Your tutorials are so easy to follow and anyone can understand them very well! Also the lemon is on the events category at 11:47.

[gummybeebss]

I literally dont understand anything grifpatch says, but griffpatch is always explaining, so he just simplifies it. Now thats teaching

[ticyyy]

The lemon (spoiler) is at







11:46 the lemon IS the event catogary icon

[EElectro]

The tutorial was OUTLINE-MAZING! And also, I found that mysterious lemon, nice spot to hide! Actually, I thought that to make outlines you need to edit in costume editor, making objects have that outline, and adding other objects to hide other outlines, thank you!

[GabeTheGamer]

Thanks Griffpatch! No wonder why so many Scratch projects look so exotic now.

[Luckyshape]

The stamp block is a way of saying "[Sprite] was here."

[trysonthescribble]

this is the first not complicated video griffpatch ever made

[Scratch_Learning]

This is amazing how this kind of script can actually make a master piece!
