Scratch

You can save costumes and sprites, so why not scripts? You just right-click on a script, and then choose "export" and then save it as a .SST(Scratch Script) or something(I'm sure there's no such thing as a .SST file though).

To import one you click on a sprite, and click a button called "Import Script". You press it, and it shows all the scripts you've saved in the folder you're looking in.

So, what do you think?

yeh gud idea - but u can currently do this by saving a sprite with the scripts on it - but i agree this wud be easier

export/import works nicely as well, but i support this idea

Anyone else?

good idea

maybe a .ssf (scratch script file) or a .ssd (scratch script database)

Why don't you just put the script into a sprite and save the sprite? Then you can even save/open multiple scripts as a sort of a package.

Along these lines; It would be very convenient to be able to save a script and then be able to call it up as a Universal Subroutine... It would be kind of like Broadcast/Recieve, which i interpret as GOTO, Without The Return...
( i've gotten around this by simply telling my main script to Wait for a second, until the Receiving Script has finished it's Assignment ! )
But this New Feature; Universal Receive would allow programmers to create very large libraries of subroutines, without having to recreate them each time...
i understand how saving an using a sprite might do this; But this way seems subtly more elegant...???

You should try using the Broadcast and Wait block...it's like the GOSUB with the RETURN. smile
