toggle switch for turbo mode

breakfast_for_dinner

turbo mode is a useful feature for many projects, but a large problem is that it's only togglable using shift+green flag, or going inside the editor. this is especially a problem on mobile devices.

i propose a toggle switch for turbo mode, which would make it easier to toggle turbo mode for everyone.

as a lazy kid who is too lazy to go and grab their laptop to turn on turbo more quickly. I support this so I don’t have to enter the project and then turn it on even if it takes 7 seconds. (First post)

Hold the green flag and press shift.
But sometimes I click it instead of hold.
Support.

…you still can't “press shift” on mobile though?

Good point- the only existing way to turn on Turbo Mode on any mobile device is to tap “See inside” and go to Edit > Turn on Turbo Mode. For larger projects this isn't an option, since they can lag the editor even when they're not running.

support, it shouldnt be a cheat code

Support, even though I could just tap see inside and turn turbo mode on, I can't do that with a griffpatch project since my device would crash. (Honestly I probably can't even play a griffpatch project on the tablet I have) I think a toggle switch would fix this.

Anyways, support, since some projects can lag and even crash when you press see inside due to a lot of blocks, this could help mobile players a lot probably.

There are some projects like hurricane simulators that if you turn on turbo mode you go on a wild ride, so I would definently like to see this implemented because the average hurricane Sim has 8,000 blocks and going in the editor would be too laggy.

See inside disables cloud variables as well.

I didn't say you could.

That button looks just like turbo mode when it's currently on. It should be under the project window, only not in fullscreen.

no, seeing inside a project that's not your own disables the ability to set cloud variables to prevent cloud hacking.

Yes, but the fact that you can’t do it without a keyboard or such, makes it so that the workaround misses the point of the suggestion -which is partially if not mostly for mobile.
