Scratch

Regarding text...
I think scratch could deal with text better by allowing the creation of dynamic textual sprites or even allow outputting of more than one thing:-
i.e.
  <say "your score is" + <player1score> >

Text is a big part of games and stories and a toold such as scratch should take this into account.

Regarding selection....

How about a case statement so I can avoid very complex nested selection.

Regarding finalizing...

Another suggestion would be to allow the outputting of a flash, schockwave, an EXE file or even a browser plugin so people who dont have scratch can view/use it.
