This is a great idea! |

I would be willing to help out with this! It would be an even better way to teach people how to use the extensions, without making creators follow the documentation on their own. Just need a good way to make them easy to open and run. The packager wouldn't be ideal because you wouldn't be able to enter the editor, I don't think. I share TurboWarp projects at https://github.com/DNin01/Scratch-projects but it would be better if no download was required. |

We have been slowly moving in this direction by adding docs pages like this one - https://extensions.turbowarp.org/box2d (most importantly, I've made these actually enjoyable to write, so more should be popping up) Full sample projects would indeed be a good improvement here If someone writes a few, I can make a folder for them and start putting links in the UI for them |

I've actually made one a while ago, I use it personally to test Window Controls. I'll see what I can do to clean it up to make it an example. |

@GarboMuffin Do you have a certain format you want the sample projects in? Should they be tutorials or just code examples? Or does it even matter? And how should they be stored? Would each sample project simply be an .sb3 file or would we need to do some sort of packaging? |

We would just do the .sb3. Being able to easily see the source code would be important for this. We already have a tool for this - ?project_url= |

Yes, I agree. I’m going to review the projects as soon as I’m back to my PC. It could be good to have comments attached to the extension blocks used in the projects |

I would assume you can just host the .sb3 files on GitHub Pages and then ?project_url= will work. Maybe I just don't know how to copy the link correctly, but I tried to load a raw link and it didn't work, with this error: |

Oh yeah, and here's the first error in the browser console: |

@LilyMakesThings sent me some projects (more than just the few below), are these the kinds of projects you're looking for? https://share.turbowarp.org/projects/02ca2ba8-3363-447f-a4cc-39a7dd770f98 https://share.turbowarp.org/projects/09b6a677-b577-4eb3-a7d2-5673a66122f0 https://share.turbowarp.org/projects/b30f9681-78fa-4b93-96f4-9963ff3751d6 (Placeholder lacks an integrated editor, but you can download them manually. When sample projects are done they will have easy editor access) |

Yes, this exactly is the kind of projects I would like to be listed in the extension gallery. |

I just finished one for Box2D: https://share.turbowarp.org/projects/fc8302bc-f57c-43c0-8b25-97ee9c0dbc3b It has five different demonstrations to show a few different things you can do. |

Sometimes the Dango falls instead of spinning in place. After making the demonstration auto-repeat, it happens every time it repeats until you switch demonstrations or click the green flag. This must be an extension bug. I also wanted to use relative positioning but that was buggy too: #935 |

I feel that it would be best if each of the sample projects are as minimal as possible without fluff like a scene changer in this case. Having more than one sample should be something to consider |

That would make more sense, it allows for the examples to be more focused. |

Alternatively, I could separate each scene into its own sprite. |

Updated again, this time with separate sprites for each demo. |

A few sample projects are now on https://extensions.turbowarp.org/ (stretch, box2d, cursor, a couple others) Making more is really simple - just create a file using an extension, save to your computer, and submit a pull request dropping it into the "samples" folder with a unique name. That's it. It'll figure out which extensions it applies to on its own. |

It'll show a dropdown list |

Interesting. If that was implemented, I could separate all the demos I made into their own projects, each focusing on a function or two. The sample code would then be much easier to deal with. |

It looks like this:
I will fix the issue of it not being able to show too many items once it becomes a problem |

Very good. I like it |

I like the samples. I agree that, at least, I would separate each samples in a different sprites and move the "navigation" sprite to the last position (this is the "cosmetic" work my students appreciate a lot) |

@GarboMuffin I made one for Temporary Variables that might be a little clearer: Everything is in the editor. It's simpler than the Box2D one but there are still 2 sprites. |

@Pizzalover4783 You don't need to make a sample for Window Controls, I've already made one, I'm putting up a PR to add it tomorrow. Also the rules aren't really specified, but from what I see on how the sample system works, the only extension that's supposed to be in the sample is the extension you want to sample, as the sampling system unzips the project to check which extension it's sampling. |

Extensions are certainly cool, but without a detailed help it is difficult sometime to imagine how to use them to get what you want. It would be helpful adding sample projects under each extension in the extension gallery page https://extensions.turbowarp.org/
