Right-Click block
So, I think that Scratch 2.0 should have a <when [sprite 1 v] right-clicked] hat block, because that would make some cool projects! It would make OS's more realistic and other things a lot better!

Re: Right-Click block
That would be hard to do and may confuse some people. I do not support.

Re: Right-Click block
The flash player won't support this. So... don't hold your breath waiting for this to be added.
HOWEVER, if you want to do this in the Java player. That's easy:
when [Sprite1] clicked if <not <mouse down?>> think [Right clicked!] for (2) secs endThis does NOT work in the Flash player. It only works in the Java player or offline.

Re: Right-Click block
I do not support, as it would be very confusing for beginners.
Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

So it would only work on the OLD Java player. And Scratch 2.0 is based in Flash.

Re: Right-Click block
Impossible-Scratch 2.0 will be in Flash, which does not support right-clicking.
Scratch 2.0- announced April 19, 2010, and now in alpha! It looks cool, and finally has cloning
Yay.Offline

People know left-click and right-click if they know how to use a computer.
If you don't, you shouldn't be programming.
I made a MC texture pack! Get it at planetminecraft!

Only the OLD Java player would support right-clicking. Right-clicking in the Flash Player just brings up the settings.
You would essentially have to have two sets of scripts: one for the Java player and a forwards-compatibility one for the Flash player.
Keep in mind that Scratch was designed for kindergarten-aged children.

Re: Right-Click block
I keep hearing about the kindergarten thing as of recent.
I don't think it actually is true, personally, I think people are misinterpreting the name Lifelong Kindergarten Lab.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: Right-Click block
It would look like this
when [left mouse v] clicked do something
when [right mouse v] clicked do something

It is primarily for school-aged children:

Scratch can be used in many different settings: schools, museums, community centers, and homes. It is intended especially for 8- to 16-year-olds, but younger children can work on Scratch projects with their parents or older siblings, and college students use Scratch in some introductory computer science classes.
