v0.23
New Features
- Scratch Everywhere! Custom Blocks!
- This actually isn't a new feature, but we never talked about them at all so I'll talk about it here :)
- Similar to TurboWarp's is compiled? and is TurboWarp? blocks, We've made a few new blocks that Scratch Everywhere! can understand!
- You can still upload your projects to the Scratch website when using these new blocks!
- is Scratch Everywhere!? block returns true if your project is running on Scratch Everywhere, and returns 0 otherwise.
- is New 3DS block returns true if your project is being played on a New 3DS, returns false otherwise.
- Scratch Everywhere! platform returns the platform your game is being played on (3DS,Wii,etc).
- A project containing these blocks can be downloaded here: https://scratchbox.grady.link/api/project/K26OtTN2WDJ9/download!
- Unpack project option in project settings!
- Instead of the normal way the runtime works by putting the entire scratch project in memory, unpacking a project eliminates this by only loading things when it needs to!
- Unpacked projects are great for large projects, and projects with a ton of images!
- Depending on the speed of your SD card, unpacked projects can run way faster than normal projects!
- Unpacked projects will have a lightning symbol next to it, and will appear towards the bottom of the project menu.
- Bottom Screen option in project settings!
- For 3DS, you can enable any project to be played on the bottom screen instead of the top screen!
- Great for projects where the touchscreen plays a key factor in gameplay!
- This also means Scratch Everywhere! can be used with a broken top screen! (I know at least 1 person will be happy about this)
Runtime Changes

Scratch Everywhere!
- The name has been changed to Scratch Everywhere!
- That's Scratch Everywhere! with the exclamation point btw..
- It made 0 sense to keep the name Scratch 3DS as this is now on 5 different platforms...
- speaking of which...
**Switch Port!**
- For all 1.5 people who own a modded Switch, you can now enjoy Scratch games!
- Via pull request (#97)!
All new main menu screen!
- The Main Menu has gone through a huge refactor under the hood!
- It should be a smoother and better experience overall!
- It's still a work in progress, but now it should be a little easier to add stuff to it in the future!
Custom controls!
- In the Project menu is a new option to remap the controls of any project!
- Control mappings get loaded and saved to `scratch-everywhere/'project_name'.json`
- Wii U is `sd:/wiiu/scratch-wiiu/'project_name.json'`
Runtime changes:
- Sprite fencing has been implemented!
- Can be disabled with TurboWarp or other Scratch mods.
- The `Stop 'All'` block now takes you back to the Main Menu instead of the homebrew menu!
- Note: The Wii U will still exit the app, as it would freeze when going back to the Main Menu for some reason.
- Booleans (anything set to `true` or `false`) now doesn't get set to `1` or `0` by the runtime mistakenly
- Fixed a couple of crashes that could happen while loading
- Custom blocks with no definition now works as intended
- The runtime can now be compiled with `ENABLE_AUDIO=0`.
- For the 3DS, this means smaller file size, and you no longer need SDL2 to compile.
3DS Changes:
- Fixed crash when closing the app
- Fixed audio cracking issue
- Sprites are no longer rendered in fractional positions, fixing some image weirdness
- Changed image filtering from `nearest` to `linear`
- This fixes the image fuzziness and weirdness issues, with a tradeoff to some images looking slightly blurry. I might add a filtering option to the Main Menu in the future.
