You know what's sometimes annoying? If you put text into the answer of variable block, you can stick it in a number only spot. Since there are square inserts for text, maybe make a square block that holds text? The following blocks would be this:

join [][]
letter () of []
answer
variable
The fictional:
letters () - () of []
get [date^]
rotation style
name of costume # ()
current sound name
last broadcast
key pressed
sprite name
ascii () as character
[reverse/shuffle/upper-lowercase][]

Ah, no, don't make variables more strongly typed than they are already. You want to be able to put any value in any variable. (Or at least I want that! smile )

does this work under operators?
('%s' #r #reportString)

scimonster · 2011-07-11 00:18:45

It would be an operators, but it wouldn't have the code you put.
('%s' #o #string:)

poemon1 · 2011-07-12 13:03:51

how 'bout this ('report %s' #r #report: 'hello')
and under other ops:
report: t1
^ t1

The whole point is that it is not a Reporter Block. This is to separate between strings and numbers more easily.

A text block.

No not a text block. Just upgrade the variable! Scratch 2.0 could upgrade the variables, so you can type aslfjal (sorry spam) into a variable square number insert. So is that what you mean? (For that question ignore the Scratch 2.0 could upgrade the variables.)

You can type text into variables, but I want a separate kind of block that reports text than from the ones that report numbers.

Oh like a text block? Like a reporter? Oh, so you want a block that reports text?

Yes.

Text is meant to be first class. Also panther users would get it confused with colour blocks.
