Hey scratchers (and members of the scratch team )
I propose that scratch should include some hidden blocks, what I mean is that when somebody downloads your project certain block are hidden such as if a password for a login is coded in scratch instead of like this: <when green flag clicked>
<if>
<( user pass <=> the correct one )>
<end>
(this code doesn't work I have put the correct one at the bottom)
Would just appear as <PASSWORD HIDDEN> so that passwords would be safe.
Please tell me what you think.
Here is the correct script for login
<when I receive[ username request
Ask <Please enter your username>
If answer=username
<broadcast[ somebody username through ]and wait c>
<when I receive[ somebody username through
Ask <what is your password> and wait
If answer = password
<broadcast[ somebody through login ]and wait c>
<when I receive[ somebody through login
then the script continues for an action

This has been suggested before, but turned down because Scratch's motto is Imagine Program Share, and if you hid blocks, people couldn't learn from your scripts, thus making the share part meaningless.

This has been suggested before, but the Scratch Team have repeatedly insisted that this would go against the motto 'Imagine, Program, Share'. One of the main reasons why Scratch is so great is that you can learn from other users, so why take away something that's brilliant?

I feel like these topics appear three times a week. They always get closed. And no one ever reads the topic titled “READ THIS BEFORE SUGGESTING ANYTHING”.
Like RedRocker said, this goes against “Imagine, Program, Share”.
