sprites as instances of objects

Something i would find usefull is that instead of having sprites we would have objects.  Say you wanted lots of the same sprite (all with the same scripts), instead of needing lots of sprites we could have an object holding those scripts and multiple of instances of that object.

Please feel free to post any comments or criticism,

Thankyou for reading - Godbisset

Re: sprites as instances of objects

Sprite cloning will be in Scratch 2.0, so you'll be able to have something similar then  smile

It's never been confirmed, but the guesses are ranging from Scratch Day (two or so months) to 2013, so I guess it could be anytime.

Re: sprites as instances of objects

Technically, sprites are objects, just you cannot create and delete them dynamicly like in OOPs. An object in computing is just anything that can have data (variables and lists) and methods (scripts)
