Let users disable turbo mode!

No support. You should be designing your games so that players can't cheat with turbo mode anyway.

No support. If you don't want to use turbo mode, just don't use it.

The suggestions forum is not the place to be asking questions about Scratch.

It lets you cheat and it's not cool. Turbo mode is POINTLESS.
No it isn't. Some 3D projects need it to run at a pace that is actually tolerable. They'd be way too slow without it. Though nowadays it's better practice to use custom blocks set to run without screen refresh, since it runs faster and is less of a hassle to users. Turbo mode should stay.

I think abh206 meant that users could disable the option to use turbo mode if they wanted to.

Well they certainly didn't word it very well then.

Eh, support, but only if Turbo is enabled by default and it's an option.

(note - he said LET USERS DISABLE, not REMOVE. I support letting people disable turbo on their projects, as it's done already anyways )

umm, there alredy a turbo detector, yep is hard to do but you can, no support

(and the example is bad because shift is not detected

)

Shift is detected but Scratch can't tell it apart from ctrl, alt, etc

Good topic to discuss. I think this should be an option for scratchers.

beacause in a game if you make money by just waiting and it goes up automaticly then if you turn on turbo mode then you can get sooo much money fast

This is why you design your game without this flaw.

wait (1) secs // Incredible block which fixes this problem.

I think removing the shift-click feature and replacing it with

toggle turbo mode::sensing

would be better so that projects have the choice of disabling turbo mode to avoid cheating or automatically enabling turbo mode for those projects that need it. And if the project wanted the user to be able to toggle it themselves, they could make a button with

when this sprite clicked
toggle turbo mode::sensing

Yes, I think so at least.
Maybe:

define no cheats
hide
show

I think

stamp

forces a screen refresh.

Just tested the

wait (0) secs

block, and that didn't detect turbo mode when I put it in

when green flag clicked
reset timer
repeat (10)
next costume
    wait (0) secs
end
if <(timer) < [0.1]>
say [Turbo mode.]
