Scratch

Did anyone besides me know that you can change the sprite that comes up upon opening scratch? Make your sprite and then right click it, click export sprite, then name it default.sprite

Can scratch 3.0 or whatever have objects?
Sprites are programmable images which can change between costumes.
Objects are programmable trees (stick things) disguised with graphics. You program the tree and the graphics come too, so you may have costumes and poses. You first change the tree, you can choose if you want to have a costume for the pose, you can match a costume to a pose so you can see the tree that you're matching to it. 
I'm going to have to make a new post, my phone beeps at 512 characters.

Challenges for Students - My suggestion

(sorry my bad english)
Considering that Scratch:
a) it has some potentialities that are little used in projects;
b) it motivates the students and it develops several capacities
c) it is being increasingly used in school;
d) some scratchers are teachers, other teachers look for ideas for the classroom and  many scratchers at MIT ARE STUDENTS

I suggest a link at Home to a gallery (for visibility for teachers, not for Scratch team  to select projects and put in Home) with a brief description that  call the attention of teachers, also of  students.
My idea is not a contest. "Challenges" as invitation. Projects show problems to solve in Scratch, or solve a problem and asks the resolution of another similar problem less easy. Other teachers may therefore lead the challenge to class, and students can send their projects with the resolution programmed to the gallery. Gallery does not have to be created by Scratch-Team, could be created by me or mathjp that has many ideas for the challenges.

The aim is also to motivate or provide ideas for teachers to use Scratch in the classroom but students may take the initiative  responding to the challenges.
(In my country we are to introduce Scratch at school)

You can.  Just convert it to a gif.

To import a gif, you import sprite from file (import the gif that you want), go to costumes, import the gif again into costumes- all the frames of animation or video will appear. Now program it to be animated. The easiest way to do that is:

 
when gf clicked 
forever 
next costume 
wait (0.1) secs 
end

I think scratch should be able to interact with the web. (e.g. Get data. Display the time.)

to scratch team

i have a suggestion for scratch. when making a project you can only share it on
your users stuff. there should be something called a link which says that 2 or more people made it and it puts the project on all the people that made it in their stuff
thanks!
straightA :0

It'd be great if there was a block that was

wait until

I think scratch should have

 
<hidden?> 
 
<[sprite 1 v] hidden?>  

<shown?>  

<[sprite 1 v] shown?> 

<[broadcast message v] sent?> 
 
<[broadcast message v] recieved?> 

it wold be good that on the SCRATCH website, it lets you change your profile name as i have had to close 2 accounts just to change my name on the website

I think it would be cool to havve a block like this:

play sound (...) until (...)

play sound(...) for(...) secs

Totally agree, pinnipediator,
