Personally, I think we need a pause button for Scratch. Because what if our mom calls us? Or we have to use the bathroom? tongue

What do you guys think?

It sounds neat, but after trying it in BYOB I didn't think it was that useful, I'd say it's not really worth it. Usually Scratch projects are pretty short, so you can start over when your mom calls. tongue

Just program it yourself. Make a variable called "paused?", and then make a script that sets it to 0 or 1 when a key or something is pressed. Then just wrap every script with a

if <(paused?) = [0]>
script
end

Those glitch a LOT.

I support!

They only glitch if you use repeat blocks or wait blocks.

it really depends on what your project is
i think a "pause" button would be cool

most projects are short but once i saw someone made a full 2 hour movie which would be a pain to start over

Oh yeah. Well, just replace the

wait until <event>
do stuff

with

wait until < <event> or <(paused?) = [1]> >
if <(paused?) = [0]>
do stuff
end

Also, once the project is paused, how are you going to be able to unpause it?

you could click the pause button again to unpause it

But the script that will unpause it will be paused, so you won't be able to.

Most projects aren't long enough to require a pause button. And those that are long enough usually have it anyways. I always program menu features into my longer games.

Duplicate.

Since it looks like there's already a thread with the same suggestion (link), I'm closing this thread.
