I know pretty much everything in scratch but a list. What does it even do? Well, I can guess that it lists things but how does it work?

It can be used for multiple purposes.

Basically, a list is something you use to store data, much like a variable. However, a list can store MULTIPLE values, each in it's own section. Then the rest of the blocks are used to find, edit, identify, or grab variables from the list.

You can use it for saving, memory, or text-based-games.

^This. Put simply, it is a variable that can hold more than one value. smile
