Re: Some ideas for Scratch1.3 blocks

What would "shake" do? Forever until is the same as "repeat until". What kind of block would (when variable reaches x) be?

Re: Some ideas for Scratch1.3 blocks

I think a <when[ delete ]key pressed> or a <set{ Variable }to( a letter  would be good.  smile

Re: Some ideas for Scratch1.3 blocks

how would a variable as a letter work?  the whole point of a variable is that is is a number.

Re: Some ideas for Scratch1.3 blocks

I think a

<{ gravity }>block and a <set{ gravity platform color }to( whatever platform color you want the platform your sprites is going to land on when you jump

would be good.

Honestly, scratch does enough for you. If you want gravity then search the forums or look at projects for instructions. Or find the gravity marble sprite that is included with the scratch program.

Also a <when[ variable ]clicked> block would be good.
