Scratch

I want a repeat for __ secs block. It would help a lot.

all these suggestions will make life easier.
but for now, just use what I have below for each one.

Firite:

Idea 1

when flag clicked
set [ a ] to [ 0 ]

when I receive [ b ]
set [ a ] to [ 1 ]
wait [ 0 ] secs

[ wait until ( I receive [ b ] ) ]
= [ wait until ( [ a ] = [ 1 ] ) ]

Idea 2

Already there.

Xkhaoz:

when flag clicked
set [ c ] to 0
repeat [ d ]
   change [ c ] by [ 1 ]
end

[ repeat for ( d ) secs ]
= repeat until [ ( c ) = ( d ) ]

technoguyx:

If you want the note to be played in one long note, then I don't know. If you want the note repeated, then use:

repeat until [ e ]
   play note [ f ] for [ g ] secs

What about "touching anything but"? I wanted that for my first scroller.

How about if not touching ____

<<  <not> <touching[ >>
That command does  that fine.

Wow. This is so old that I've gone on/off Scratch twice since posting this, and I have no idea what I mean in the Scratch blocks in the first post.
Thanks anyway, you guys, for trying to help 2009 me. (Because I don't think I've seen these posts before.)

Link to [bla.com] (tutorials are there- just it'd be nice for it to be in real scratch!)

That's been suggested a lot before - essentially, people haven't approved much of this block because you could send people to inappropriate places. A solution could be that a popup could appear and say "Are you sure you want to go to "bla.com?"

I support, but not a lot of the community is with me 

(forever if/else) as one block instead of (forever(if/else))
[blocks]
<forever if>
<end>
<else>
<end>
[/blocks]
also, save file blocks under the control tab.

[create save file [A]]
[delete save file [A]]
[save to file [A]]
[load from file [A]]

replace "A" with a drop-down list

how about "if on costume ___"

Hi,
First time here! I would like to start off as simple as possible for students who have only used Logo before. Is there a way to hide some blocks e.g. Sound, Sensing etc until they are ready to be introduced to them?

Welcome! There is no way to disable these blocks. But one approach lots of teachers have found to be helpful is to introduce Scratch with some constraints - like "Use only these 8 blocks to make something interesting..."

Check out ScratchEd for more on this - here's a link to something you might find helpful, but do browse around!
