The WR may be invalid

FYI: the timings of this game heavily depend on what version of scratch you're running it in. there does not seem to be any rule about this. the game was made for scratch 2 and it should be run in that, yet the WR is running in scratch 3, which is not 100% compatible with programs made for previous versions, so there may be some bugs that don't appear in previous versions of scratch, and as i said, large timing differences (sometimes even into the seconds).

I had no idea about the different version of Scratch, honestly. I just googled the game and played it on the 1st link that came up. My game seems to be running the same as the other players on the boards. Aren't we all on the same version?

It does appear that all runs are being run on Scratch 3, however, as I said, since Scratch 3 does not have 100% backwards compatibility, there are some bugs that shouldn't happen, and incorrect timing. A download of Scratch 2 can be found here https://scratch.mit.edu/download/scratch2 , the official online version is no longer available however the download version may lag on some PCs, so if this is the case. you can use https://s2online.github.io , which is just a re-hosted version of Scratch 2 with extra features.

It did appear that the in-game time provided seemed inconsistent. This is why I decided to use real time for timing runs.

Even real time can be inconsistent. The timings of physics, transitions, stuff like how long an enemy is "stunned" before it dies, etc, can be inconsistent depending on the version of Scratch.

It's not a big game for speedrunning anyway, it should be fine.

you can spam the flag in some projects to reduce lag btw

IK this is an old thread but griffpatch updated Scratchnapped to work with 3.0 in May 2019, so we are playing a different version than what 2.0 players would have played. I think the patch only fixed the backdrop and stuff but it still is a different version of the game.
