Scratch

definetly the last one that would be very useful

<point towards( Sprite 1 )
<point in direction( <direction>  <*> -2 ))
That will cause the sprites to point away.

I think this would do it:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>[/blocks]
[blocks]<forever>[/blocks]
[blocks]<point towards(something [/blocks]
[blocks]<point in direction( ((<direction>  <*>-1  ))[/blocks]
[blocks]<end>[/blocks]

wait...
no.

You can also do a point towards x y using trignomentry...

DIRECTION TO
I would be very useful to have a sensing block that tells you the direction to another sprite or your mouse [blocks] <direction  to[ [/blocks] . An example of the use of this is you could make a sprite run away without point to that sprite  and so you can make a sprite point away from another.

POINT TOWARDS X Y
I really think this block would be useful [blocks] <point towards x y ( .

STAMP ON LAYER
I was playing scratch the other day when I noticed that you can't stamp on sprites!!! this is a lot of trouble so I thought maybe you can choose the layer you stamp on like you can choose the layer a sprite is on.

SPAWN A SPRITE
There should be a way to spawn a sprite you have in your sprite library and maybe have something that states were you want it to spawn you should also have something that tells a sprite to delete itself. This would be very useful in projectiles

Direction To:
Make a "sensor" sprite (we'll call it sprite 3), and
forever
  go to [ sprite 1 ]
  point towards [ sprite 2 ]
end
"direction from sprite1 to sprite2" = "direction of [ sprite 3 ]

Point Towards X: Y:
Make a sprite at this X and Y (we'll call it sprite 1)
"Point towards X Y" = "point towards [ sprite 1 ]

Stamp on Layer/Spawn a Sprite - Will be useful

You could just create a spare variable and don't use it until it's his time. If you REALLY need to create variables using a script, use a list and then make the script check a single line of it.

To solve your 'direction to' problem, have another invisible sprite that points to the mouse/character. Then you could do a (direction of |pointersprite|) – (direction). See what I mean? if not, look at my 3D game engine for help.

I have done this before but I find it troublesome.

You can get the point to x: [] y: [] block by looking at this project: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/TheoMarr/613160

How about: Duplicate[insertspritenamehere] and Delete[insertspritenamehere] ?
