Text Input with 1.3
Now that Scratch has some text functionality, I've been trying to come up with a way for the user to enter text at runtime. I have found a very imperfect way to kind of do this, demonstrated in this project:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Paddle2SeeFixIt/257886
Note that the upper case shift logic does not seem to be working in the online Java player, resulting in random upper/lower case for certain letters. Download for accurate performance.
If somebody comes up with a cleaner way to do text entry at runtime (and I REALLY hope that somebody does), please let me know.
Scratch Team, this appears to be another example of strange Java player behavior with a 1.3 project.

Man... There's more than a few problems with the online Java player, it appears.

Cool. I was just about to upload one of these, calling it "ugly concantenation".
That's a very accurate name! I really wish we had a real concatenation operator...(and a few other string functions) - maybe in 1.4!
