The Write block would stamp letters onto the screen at the stated position, so that

write [Hello!] at x:(0) y:(0)

would stamp "Hello!" in the center of the screen.

A Write block would have a ton of applications, from showing variables professionally, to Mad Libs-style projects, to simply displaying the player's name. Though there is a workaround, but is cumbersome and time-consuming to create, especially when it's for smaller things like showing the user's name.

In addition, Write could have its own selection of effect blocks, much like the sprite effects but limited to the text...

set write [ghost v] to (0)
set write [color v] to (red v)
set write [spacing v] to (dense v)
set write [emphasis v] to [bold v]
set write [orientation v] to [center v]
set write [font v] to [Times New Roman v]

So... Who supports? smile

People must like this kind of block, seeing as there are so many threads springing up about it... tongue

well,i guess you could do this

ask [what do you want me to stamp on the screen?]
if <(letter (letter #) of (answer) = [A]>
 switch to costume [one v]
 stamp
 change (letter #) by (1)
end

. . .

I support, but don't think these will be implemented. sad

@RoboNeo9 - Even with some of the more advanced scripts, such as

when gf clicked
clear
set [counter v] to (0)
go to x:(-235) y:(175)
forever
ask [Stamp what?] and wait
repeat (length of (answer))
change x by (5)
change (counter) by (1)
if <(x position) > (235)>
go to x:(-235) y:((y position) - (5))
end
switch to costume (letter (counter) of (answer))
stamp
end

has some lag involved and take a ton of costumes. This is just a convenient alternative. smile

Yeah, maybe not jvvg. tongue

Still worth a shot.
