Scratch

Wouldn't you want 'previous backdrop/costume/background' because last backdrop implies the last one that you were on (unless that's what you want). Say you were on backdrop one, jumped to three would this block take you to backdrop 2 or 1?

Ok I think you should add a last backdrop block because people may want to us it. I know it's possible to make your own but the new scratchers will find it difficult. Like the next backdrop block it is useful. For example:

when  clicked
forever
if 
key 
left arrow
 pressed?
last backdrop
if 
key 
right arrow
 pressed?
next backdrop

(sorry if it doesn't come out very well)
So there the right arrow goes to the next backdrop and the left goes to the last backdrop. Tell me what you think!

Well you can already make this block yourself. Here is how:

when  clicked
if 
key 
left arrow ▼
 pressed?
switch to background
background #
 - 
1

It's really easy, since Scratch allows combining blocks. Reply for any questions! And don't forget to quote me with that little button on the bottom right!

Well, he did say

Woops, I missed that.

Scratch is supposed t be for discovering, anyways. If there was a set block fro everything, it wouldn't be any fun. Also, it's pretty easy to teach.
