A "last backdrop" block

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 gf clicked
forever
 if <key [left arrow] pressed?>
  last backdrop
 end
 if <key [right arrow] pressed?>
  next backdrop
 end
end
(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!


It's contest time!

Re: A "last backdrop" block

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?

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

when gf clicked
 if <key [left arrow v] pressed?>
  switch to background<(background #) - [1]>
 end
end
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!

Tip of the whatever: Don't post in threads older than 2 weeks unless your post will actually be useful.
It's the last day of 1.4! *cries* (quote from NeilWest, rest by me) by the time you read this it probably will be 2.0  sad

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.

Re: A "last backdrop" block

That sounds like a really good idea! I would definitely use that.  smile  However, I'm a new scratcher, and I think I could work out how to use 7734f's script.
