"Print" Blocks

When people use "Print" blocks It prints something out like the costume of a sprite, the stage, or another sprite!

Here's my example:

print costume #[1 v] of [sprite2 v]
print background #[1 v] of stage
Here are blocks when the sprite is printing it's own costumes:
print costume [costume1 v]
When it's printing it's current costume:
print
You'd have to have the computer and printer settings (Not in project) just like always before you print something.

Hope you like this idea!

Re: "Print" Blocks

you can just export the costume and print it. these are not necessary.

People can use these in forever blocks and make the person run out of ink...

i assume that means that the project would ask before printing something

What if you wanted something to print WHILE your viewing the projects online.

Re: "Print" Blocks

Then the job would be added to the print queue.

Re: "Print" Blocks

I don't support, because if you need to print an images, you can just Screenshot it and then print that image.  smile  Besides, there's plenty of room for this to be abused and doesn't really help Scratch become a better programming language.
But keep coming up with ideas.  smile

This is for printing a thing out of your physical printer. Sorry, but I don't support. The reasons mentioned above, and what if the person didn't have a printer?
