Question about the "answer" block
Hi.
Is there a way to check the contents of the answer for a word? Something like the "contains" block for a list.
So if the user types "walk across the street" as an answer, I have a script that says:
if [answer] contains "walk" or "street" then...
I guess you can see I'm trying to make a text adventure game

This would be a nice block. "Contains word or phrase" That would be awesome!

Very nice proof of concept, bhz. Just too many scripts to be useful in even a small text adventure game.
Scratch team, how about a block to check for a string in the answer block? My god, that would be cool.

You can always do:
if < letter ( n + 1 ) of ( answer ) = a > and < letter ( n + 2 ) of ( answer ) = l > ...
But I have top agree...that WILL be cool
