New Scratcher's Guide to all Scratch Blocks
(Welcome to the New Scratcher's Guide to all Scratch Blocks!)I thought I'd make a guide explaining what each block in Scratch does and how it functions. Note: this is updated to Scratch 1.4
So, feel free to use this guide if you're stuck or you're new here and you need to see how stuff works.
Right now, only Motion blocks are available. I'll be updating this with new blocks.
MOTION
move (10) stepsThis block moves a sprite the number of steps forward in the direction it is pointing you tell it. By default, the sprite faces to the right. For example, if a sprite is facing the top-right corner, it would move up and right the number of times you inputting. To use the opposite direction, you can also use negative numbers.turn right (15) degreesturn left (15) degreesThese blocks rotate a sprite clockwise or counter clockwise the amount of degrees you input. This not only visually rotates the sprite but also affects how the move steps block affects the sprite.point in direction (90 v)This block allows you to set a sprite to face the right, top, left, or bottom of the screen using the drop down menu. It can also affect how the sprite is affected by the move steps block.point towards [mouse pointer v]This block lets you make a sprite face the mouse-pointer or another sprite and may also affect how the move steps block affects the sprite position.go to x: (0) y: (0)Moves a sprite to a particular co-ordinate on the stage.go to [mouse pointer v]Makes a sprite move directly to another sprite or the mouse-pointer. It will not have an effect when a sprite is gliding.glide (1) secs to x: (0) y: (0)This could possibly be the most useful motion block of all. You can make a sprite slide towards any point on the screen and also decide how fast it goes there.
The rest of the motion blocks are coming soon.
After I've completed the motion section, I'll start on Control.

There will be some problems doing it on the forums. Take for example, there is no "Stop All Sounds block.
Don't believe me? Here:
stop all sounds // No typos...
if <> // Ha... Ha... What happened to your open mouth?

Hmmm... don't you realise? If the block didn't exist in Scratch 1.4, why would benjamin2 even put the "stop all pinks" block?
