Dropdown blocks
Here is an idea for scratch 2.0: dropdown blocks. A lot of times i am making a project and a realize i should have used an if else block instead of an if block so i have to take apart half my script, so i thougt it would be a good idea to have one block in each category with a dropdown where you can select the block you want. This would help if had a block in your script and needed to change it to another. The main problem with this would be the arguments for the blocks. Any ideas?

Re: Dropdown blocks
With your example, it's a bit difficult, but changing, for example, turn left to turn right, I'd like that.
Or stuff like set/change x/y by/to () could all be interchangable.

Re: Dropdown blocks
I've relised this before. They have this currently for the +,-,*,/ things, and the =,<,> things, but nothing else.
Yeah, I'm mostly inactive. I check in once in a while though. If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Re: Dropdown blocks
Could be a good feature, for blocks that have the same kinds of arguments! I'd also like to be able to change one variable into another without having to rip them out, throw them away, open up the Variables area, locate the new variable, drag it over and drop it in the right place. That's a lot of work
