Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

In Scratch 2.0, how will the cloning work?  Will there be a limit to how many clones you can make?


Scratch 2.0- announced April 19, 2010, and now in alpha!  It looks cool, and finally has cloning  smile  Yay.

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

When is the projected release? Will there be major UI changes? What? Have you been browsing the Suggestions forum for ideas, and will some of them be implemented?

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

are you going to add a new block pallete when Scratch 2.0 is released. If so, what will it be called?

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

You already confirmed that you are going to add procedures to scratch, but hereit says

The combination of decreased performance and the potential to introduce concurrency errors makes me very reluctant to introduce user-defined reporters in the first release of Scratch 2.0. I don't rule them out for a future release, but I'd like to see how the Scratch community responds to the ability to define command blocks first. One step at a time.

is that true?  sad

also: how much (if any) first-class concepts are you going to implement?

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

I heard about block-creating. How would that work? Doesn't making the blocks require more advanced programming than Scratch itself?

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

Will there be cloning? If so, how many clones will be allowed, and will there be any features like:

<touching [clone1 v]?>
EDIT: I'm trying to think of more questions...

Are there any plans to integrate Scratch Resources into Scratch as suggested before?

Re: Got questions about Scratch 2.0?

What kind of tools do you plan to add to make collaboration easier?

Are there any plans of adding "sprite classes" or scenes?

Hmm that's a good one. Having a larger stage as an option (maybe 400x600 projects) would be cool.

That reminds me -- are there any possibilities of allowing sprites to have x and y positions further than the stage's borders (this limitation can make scrolling somewhat of a hassle).

+1 I really hope it'll have more features, sometimes I end up drawing sprites in some other program and importing them  tongue  Though *sniff* while a timesaver I suppose it's not a big deal...

EDIT: Will there be any mentions of the wiki? Like "for more information on this block, see the Scratch Wiki!"

It would be cool to have the wiki replace the info on the block shift-click menu (it's shift click, not right, in ye olde pre-alpha)
