The first thing I will upload is maybe an escape game that uses the new ask and string commands.

That sounds interesting.

The first thing I will do is rewrite my Hangman game to utilize the new string handling capabilities of 1.4

Yeah, with the new blocks it should be a breeze. The fact that you made a hangman game with such a lack of blocks is pretty impressive.

I'll probably download it. Then read up on the new features. Then make a project - probably it'll use the new string feature stuff.

I love the new join word feature.

It's called "concatenation". Strange, huh?

But nothing in scratch is called what it should be 

Arrays are lists
Commands are blocks
loops are repeats

You get the idea

That's true. Maybe if they ever make that Scratch Pro thing some people have asked for, they'll call things what they're supposed to be called. It's to help people get used to the language more easily.

I never really noticed that before, except the array thing.

I actually hope they don't make a pro version because it defeats the point of scratch. If you want a "PRO" language then play coding java applets or if that is too hard then try greenfoot.

But making a Scratch Pro would advance users to a slightly more advanced level, though still pretty easy, to better prepare them for "real" programming languages.

I like the question box thing. So you could make sentences using the join word block?

Okay, do you get more undos?

I hope so. Just one gets pretty unuseful. Especially when you make a huge mistake.

I meant the invisible ones. *DETECTED* Yea I mean sprites can still be invisible right?

I know, but I hate it when you delete the whole program even when just one sprite is invisible by accident! Then that undo button comes in handy!

I'll probably muck around with the multiplayer features.

Bit annoying that there isn't sprite duplication though.

Can the online feature sense who is the host?

I think you are confused on how it works.

One person clicks "Host Mesh" the other person clicks "Connect to Mesh Server". Its not just like MESH ACTIVATE and everything else falls into place. I think that mesh is the hardest thing to use in scratch, that is why its hidden probaly.
