But what if several projects share a single file?
Please give an example.
In C++ you have header files and implementation files that contain function declarations and definition and any project can link to any implementation and header files so more than one project can share a file. Also what if you had functions and variables with similar names like if there was a variable called counter and a function called reset_counter they would both be changed by the find and replace program.

But Scratch projects always have a file of their own, so that wouldn't happen anyway, and since Scratch is about blocks and not text code, there would be no confusion between variable names because of the bytes that can separate blocks.

This has definitely been suggested before, but I certainly support this movement. Scratch has been too un-versatile for too long.

Hopefully this kind of capability will be added to Scratch 2.0, whenever that's coming out. smile

ah but scratch is about learning to program so eventually you can move on to more complicated languages, most of which have multiple files.

I support, 2 votes

Haiming · 2012-03-22 20:47:32

50% support. You'll have to change every script with that variable though...

Thank's for supporting. If you want to become a "Scratcher" continue to be active on the Scratch Site leaving constructive comments on other people's projects and it won't be long. smile

Support!

I have come across this problem so many times! often, I wind up making a new variable and replacing every single instance of its blocks!!!

Hi 1Dark1 - the right place to post something about Collaborations, would be in the Collaboration forum. Just look for the "Post new topic" button on the upper right area of the screen.
