More Progress:
Scratch has a delete button in the editor that deletes any item(s) selected. If no item(s) is(are) selected, it will delete the entire stage. On 8:26 PM September 19 2023, I accidently clicked that delete button and the entire stage got erased. I immediately clicked the undo button afterwards but if I clicked on a different stage, the artwork would be irreversibly erased since scratch forget the history of stages when they are clicked off.
Could you imagine that actually happening. If it did, i would have to completely give up on making a submission for Madness Day. I'd probably even give up on Balloonshroom entirely. Maybe even delete my account. Good thing that never happened.
I feel like I've got this somewhat under control so I guess help isn't needed anymore.
