Scratch

how do you make a forum?

Some of my earlier posts look more like suggestions too. I'll repost them elsewhere.

The easiest is to click the link on the bottom of every page.

Is there gonna be any camera tool? I think this is the thing that Scratch needs the most.

There will be video Kinect-like features, and you can take a picture to bemused as a costume just like 1.4, if that's what you mean?

Will the new paint editor allow hidden sprites?

Hidden sprites will be vital for 2.0, with the cloud variables, as clouds will be used for chat things, and if you want a curse filter, you dont want some 5-year old using "See Inside" and finding a nice little list of words, or a spammer finding ways around it.

There will probably be a built in curse filter.

Like the rest of the Scratch website yes. But if there isn't, you can always report the user.

I have a question myself, it would be great if you could have a user validation built in. That way, you could have top score leaderboards automatically print the Scratch username, rather than the Scratcher typing a name, which would allow spammers to impersonate people. Also, username validation would allow for chats to be much more secure, since nobody can impersonate someone.

No I meant like camera in game, so you can set it to follow your character or to move it somewhere.

You're already able to do that with programming.

And kodu?
3D tools are hard, i've had an idea for how to do them for a person walking in a line, but no better, also, my 3d script is a bit similar, but not with a Camera as such. See my stuff and go to man in a room 3d demo.
I will start a 3d stuff topic in help with scripts.

I just want to know if cloud variables would work as a way to update content in a project. Also, could they be possible to be accessed only by the project's creator so you could monitor the content?

Why wouldn't cloud variables work as a way to update content? The only reason I see would be bad programming. No. Because then everyone can monitor the content. And if it's not accessible by the Scratch Team, someone could be bullying you with no proof. I also don't see why you would want to have to go monitor your projects alone. And my guess is that they will have built in swear-sensors, so there's probably not going to be a need to monitor them anyways. And if someone is bullying someone else somehow, you could always report the user.

Will the block syntax be updated?

Probably not. I don't see what needs to be updated, do have anything specific in mind?

I have tons of questions, but first of all, almost none are being answered. Second of all, someone else already answered all of the questions but for someone else. So, if you see this comment and you know all about 2.0, could you comment on any of my projects?
