Suggustions for Improvements

I think the text should be able to be different sizes, even if it's only on one sprite or background. There should also be a place to choose if the font should be on the left, the right, or in the center.

Also, in scratch 1.2.1, there is no comments block. In the next version, please make sure you have the comments block. They help me remember what does what and what things mean.

In the blocks segment on the website, there should be a comments block too.

The Idea is the key.

I know this would take an incredible amount of work but it would be so cool if it was 3D.

3D is also harder to program and create your own sprites. At first we considered having Scratch in 3D but we found that it was harder for novices to get started and it was also hard to make personal projects because creating 3D sprites takes a lot of work.

There is a good 3D programming environment called Alice. It's also free. It's harder to learn than Scratch but if you are interested in doing 3D stuff you should try it out.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>
