brodcast & recieve names
when programming a game or something, what do you put for your brodcast & recieve blocks?
i usually put random stuff like "w00t" and "cue the bricks"
ive seen people put what actually happens like "jump" or "block-hit"

If I were to name broadcasts like you, I'd probably forget what they were for after 5 minutes...

Re: brodcast & recieve names
I put what's happening in lowerCamelCase. Same with variables.
Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: brodcast & recieve names
I used to come up with super cool names that fit well. But, I now use numbers, it's faster and easier to remember (I like using numbers).
However, Scratch auto organizes them weird. For example, if you have 11 broadcasts, it will organize them like "1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9".

Re: brodcast & recieve names
I think I used puns, but I can't remember very well because I haven't used broadcast blocks since like, my second project. I use variables instead, which I name correctly.

sometimes broadcast/recieve blocks can minimalize some of the confusion you get using variables

Well I'd say that but I don't have any games with a robot in them.
Yet.
