Some Scratchers create their own programming languages within Scratch. They are often simplistic as advanced interpreters need Recursion to be efficient.
There are also some parsers that interpret code from real-life programming languages, such as XML parsers. Some projects are used as advertisements for other projects, studios, users, forum related issues and non-Scratch related items. Special advertisements called teasers advertise an upcoming project to build up excitement for them.
They usually include sample gameplay or screenshots. Spam projects are projects that are of no use whatsoever, and are deliberately designed to either be inappropriate or useless and space-wasting. They can also include commercial spam. Clutter projects are designed to integrate with other projects. For example, multiple projects could hold multiple levels, and the player must accomplish older levels before being directed to newer, harder ones. Three-dimensional projects, otherwise known as 3D, is a challenge to make in Scratch, since Scratch does not actually provide 3D tools.
However, an impressive number of 3D projects, ranging from wireframes to filled objects have been created with Scratch. The introduction of the "run without screen refresh" custom blocks' option has allowed 3D rendering to perform faster.
A Sprite Pack is a type of project that contains many sprites or costumes. They can be from clipped video games, created with paint editors like GIMP, or hand drawn, and are sometimes animated. They are useful for game-makers who are not very good at art.
Sprite packs often have a theme, for example, a user might make a "Space" sprite pack with spaceships, planets, and aliens as the sprites. Creative Characters Camp encouraged users to create sprite packs. Who's That Scratcher projects are games, usually part of a series, where you guess what Scratcher is described in the project using comments.

They became popular around June There have been multiple variations. A Screamer is a project which shows an animation, then suddenly breaks off and shows a sudden, sometimes scary picture to surprise a viewer or make the viewer laugh. These are generally fun, but sometimes the picture is very gross, distressing, or otherwise not appropriate for the website. If this is the case, the project should be reported. A Script Poem is a story or message told with a script consisting of existing blocks and often custom blocks made by editing Scratch 1.
Slideshows are projects that display a series of slides one after the other, commonly changing slides on a certain key press. Slideshows are usually used to explain a subject the creator wants to talk about, or a skill the creator wants to teach. Some users have created petitions in order to make something true and encourage users to remix and sign it. Some petitions may result in flaming and drama due to some controversial topics they may support. The pen then has to draw everything which sometimes include the background too.
Extensions are scripts meant to be put in other projects to extend Scratch's functionality. Extensions could simulate an audio effects program, for example adding a siren effect, or a speaker tuning program, which would use volume and pan left-right. The Scratch Wiki is made by and for Scratchers. Do you want to contribute?
