Code-golfing is a competition or challenge where one tries to reduce the length of some piece of code while making it accomplish the same task.[1] The way the length of code is measured is ambiguous in Scratch and is done in multiple ways, including:

  • The number of characters in the text version of the project, after it is converted to Scratchblocks.
  • The number of characters in the JSON version of a project.
  • The total number of stack blocks in a project.
  • The total number of blocks in a project.

These all produce different values but increase as more blocks are added.

The name "code golf" originates from the sport golf, where lower scores are considered better.
