I just realized something weird on the Scratch GUI.


I might be making more posts like this because apparently, most people don't know this, so I'm gonna post some facts about Scratch.

Topic: Vector Qualities.

Remember how in some platformer projects, where the level gets VERY low quality? Or some large vectors becomes low quality? Well, guess what? The larger the vector originally is, the lower the quality gets.

What does this mean?

Well, there's pretty much nothing you can do about it. However, when you export the vector, it exports as an SVG file. If you open the individual vector on a web browser and zoom in, the quality never loses. But on Scratch, it's a different story. The more elements the vector has or the larger it gets, the lower quality.

Example:

Take a Sonic vector for example. It's small, decent, and cute. The quality is fine in most cases. On TurboWarp, it's very high quality, which is good. However, if you enabled the "Remove Fencing" feature, the sprite can move offscreen and become as large and as small as it wants. So, if you set the size to 1,000%, you can see that the edges of the vector can get a bit blurry. So, that is one slight flaw. But it's OK in most cases.

Is this a big deal?

It's both yes and no. Some people can be pretty annoyed or mad about this and decide to quit Scratch because of it.

Well, that's how vectors on Scratch work. Of course, it’s obviously not perfect, but let’s just enjoy what we have anyway.

Office Gummies. I would eat them if they exists.

(Not my image btw. I grabbed it from their Instagram page.)

Since the v4.5 is long enough, you can now save your progress.

P.S. I'm currently developing the system.

Oh no, I’m already starting out to learn Kanji.

Roaring Knight: Crossover (Tentative Title)

[WIP 01]

I got myself a new PC since the battery on my Victus laptop has aged, so it's not good for portability anymore.

This new one I got is an ASUS ROG Flow Z13.

It's by far, my 4th owned PC throughout my life.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 2 - Toy Animatronics Vectors

Another Genshin Impact collab.

What a wonderful night to end off of, huh?

I can't believe it's this hard to make a frown or at least a neutral face rather than a smile.

Nobody is probably going to take me seriously if I use a smiling avatar, lol.

New compiler is now out on TW Desktop as well as other things mentioned in this list.

You can update it directly from the Microsoft Store or the Apple App Store if you downloaded it from there.

Impressive game quality for an AMD Radeon graphics card on my Z13. Fans do blast a little, but it handles pretty well, even at 60 FPS.

Only downside? Extreme battery draining. That's it.
