List of blocks i want in 2.0

<Username is [Stickdude123]?> 
usage: checks to see if the name specefied is on the project
Skew
Stretch
Self explanatory...
Some new effects:
-Negative
Plus bring some of the obsolete effects back
(plus i am pretty sure flash has the potential in making a sprite get negative colors)
Some New "More" blocks
Allow sprites off screen
Don't allow sprites off screen
and some other blocks.....
<Fps>
a boolean to show frames per second.

Thats all....For now.

About the username block, Scratch 2.0 won't have that because someone could just use:

when gf clicked
forever
if <(username) = [stick|dude|pie]>
say [Hi!]
end
The stretch and skew blocks have already been debated about, and I don't remember anything about the debate. I need to look this up…

About the negative effect, just import your picture into a picture editor and you can edit your picture that way. From there, you only need to import the picture into Scratch, and you have it, so this is unnecessary.

About the fps, why would you need it?

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

I want the IP/username block, and was highly disappointed with the current prototype, as the "user" block is highly useless.

The username block isn't useless. It can be used to make high score table, and it can be used in games to instantly bring up your city/character and not someone else's.

Ok. Good idea. Now lets store the IPs in a cloud list for everyone to see. And you can make it match their username so people can choose who they want to hack! Wonderful!

Don't forget to connect it to a really popular game, so more people use it!

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

The FPS reporter doesn't have much a use. Anyway, the ST is unlikely to implement blocks with (a) workaround(s).

I guess this would come in handy for big Project Testing to see if the project is lagging or not. Support for this.

Allow sprites off screen
Don't allow sprites off screen
I like this! Since the sprites always get stuck at the edge. It would be useful for many projects, especially scrolling ones.

The username block won't be implemented due to making the project be mean to 1 or more specific users.

The stretch and skew blocks need a numerical input, in percentages. I also suggest a taper block.

I don't think negative will be added, although there's a possibility.

As for the off-stage blocks, I don't think they should be blocks, but rather, a check-box in the "Edit" menu.

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

hiding it makes it disappear suddenly, and it looks weird. Unless that's not what you are saying? It would be great if you would type the Scratch Blocks...

Also, about the FPS block. Booleans can only return "True" or "False" and are used primarily in the if block. How can a boolean contain an integer?

Instead of using the hide block, I would use the ghost effect block to fade it out smoothly.

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

In other words, skew is the opposite of stretch, and obviously you know what stretch is...

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

I want this block:
turn turbo mode [on/off]
there are so many turbo mode projects, and it would be better if you didn't have to shift click the green flage every time...

Don't worry, in Scratch 2.0 you can actually create a script which specifically runs in turbo speed!  big_smile

Easy workarounds? Explain?

Re: List of blocks i want in 2.0

Another thing about the username block; someone could embarrass another user by making a "chatroom" project using cloud variables, but put this script:

When gf clicked
forever
if <(username)=(Mokat)> 
be mean //Things like swearing, insulting users, etc.
else
be nice
