Scratch

I think that having to program everything is kinda boring, especially when making animations because you have to making timing exact for sounds and voices.

That is why I think that Scratch 2.0 should have an animation mode, where you can make a sprite, click actions, and you could have it move a straight line by clicking motion and drawing a path,and if you want it to switch costumes, you could have it switch after or during moving by putting the costume one point in the line so it switches to that costume. There could also be broadcasts that you make and do the same thing with switching costumes.

I think that would be a huge help for people who want to make animations but aren't the best at programming.

But Scratch is for programming. hmm People can use other programs if they want to animate. And since Scratch is for everyone, it would be hard to provide a mode especially for animators.

I do not support.
There are plenty of good animation programs out there which were purpose-built for animations.
Scratch is for programming.

Scratch is for beginning programming. Why not make it also beginning animation making?

I think that making a straight line is as easy as block, block, block.

point in direction (90 v)
repeat <however much you want>
move <however much you want> steps
end

So, it's already not that hard for animators.

That would take quite a bit of revision and work while only serving a small portion of the community.

What about timing for voices and stuff. It being off will be disastrous.

You just said the reason right there. Scratch is for beginning programming. If you want to make animations, program them. Or else we might as well make scratch for beginning eating too...

ya know about broadcasts, right?
whats hard about putting some broadcasts and wait n seconds blocks?

yeah, another problem about this is that scratch is supposed to be SIMPLE. if we threw in a whole 'nother mode into scratch, where all the familiar buttons work differently, It would be chaos.

Don't support.

Scratch is for programming purposes. Not animating.

People often confuse this. Use something else if you want to animate
