Scratch

Well, you can do this already with a couple of blocks. The question is always about whether or not is a good idea to provide a block that does something specific that can be done with a couple of other blocks. For example, in my opinion there should not be a a "forever if" block because the same can be done with other blocks, but I can see the why people think we should have it.

a libary of useful scripts/parts of scripts would be good.  i frequently use similar bit and it would be great to have basic scripts saved

a sprite libary on this site would be use full with scrips on the srites

Me too! Scrolling games = KEWL!

Having backgrounds bigger than the window and allowing them to scroll (by moving the stage) would be nice.  It would not require more blocks (we have all the movement blocks we need, I think), but just allowing the blocks to be applied to the stage.  The biggest changes would be in the background editor, since backgrounds could now be bigger than 480x360.  Importing large images would have to give scaling options, rather than the current approach of scaling to fit on the screen.

It might also be good for movable backgrounds to have a "wraparound" feature, so that moving past the right edge would show the left part of the image, and moving past the top would show the bottom of the image.

huh. So what you are saying is that we just import a background and increase its size to be bigger than the screen?

How about an <I recive> sensing block?

I TOTALLY Agree. It Would Make The Broadcasting System More Useful. Go With Scratchie's Idea, Everybody!

I think I need a hide variable because my AQ (again thanks to AE team) uses a LOT of variables and they get annoying just looking at them forever   

looks like this: <hide><{variables}>

Great idea. I'm trying to make a game similar to lemmings and that would make a lot easier.

A SCROLL BUTTON- DEFENATLY!

I'm with you guys  !

you can already make one single sprite that is bigger than the screen. 

Huh i don't think so. You cant make sprites bigger than the screen in the editor, and if you've created a sprite just as big as the screen, it ignores

[blocks]<set size to( more then 100 )%>[/blocks] .

One way to do this is to "Grab screen region for new sprite".Next choose the entire scratch window. Then, without using the clear button, use the eraser to erase everything on it. Then draw what you want on it.
