Website members can now download and test out a new early access version of ScratchBit, complete with a fully-functional UI!

(The links do not currently lead anywhere, as the project and ancillary pages are not up yet)

ScratchBit Early Access 0.2 Patch - 3/28/2026:

• Added transparency and whitelist colors

• Fixed bugs

Added instructions:

• To remove a color from an image: Find the hex code of that color and paste it into the function parameter of "SAVE ScratchBit Code" called "whitelist_color", or do the same with "LOAD ScratchBit Code" to remove a color upon loading a code

• To add overall transparency to an image, type a number into the "transparency" parameter of either "SAVE ScratchBit Code" or "LOAD ScratchBit Code" (0 is fully transparent, 100 is no transparent). Load transparency parameters override saved transparency parameters.

*This is an early access version of ScratchBit, a powerful project that can convert images, pen drawings, and portions of frames into a code that can be used to save and import images into projects! This version may contain bugs, and does not yet have a complete user interface.

Website members can now access an early version of ScratchBit by downloading the .sb3 file in the file share.

How to use:

• Add a backdrop, costume, or pen drawing

• Click enter to generate a save code

• When prompted for a key input, click a to generate a compressed code (can be loaded back into the project) or click b to generate a web-friendly code (which can be loaded into this tool and downloaded). Copy the code from the list titled "ScratchBit by @leotimechannelorg"

Have you ever tried to make a pen project and thought, "I wish I could make a save code for this!". Well look no further than this post, because we are currently working on a Scratch project that can save pen drawings, images, and anything else on a stage in the form of a hex color map. This means that it can be saved and shared within Scratch, but you can also paste it into a tool like https://onlinepngtools.com/convert-hex-to-png to download the image directly to your computer.

I have linked an example of what this project can do below. To see and download the image, go to a HEX to PNG converter (like the one linked above), paste the code, and set the image width to 256 (for this example).

Hey guys! It's me, Aadi, again! Out with LemonadeOS V2, this time, only on Websim! (I might try a Scratch port, but idk if it will be made.) I switched over because I don't have as much free time as actual developers, so just try it out! Bye!

A new PythonCat early access version is available for members! This version adds variables, mathematical operations, booleans/comparative statements, error messages (limited), and various bug fixes. The full version is in a near-final stage of development and should be released in the next month!
