Scratch

I am against this.

Scratch is meant to be simple for kids as mentioned by Lightnin.

panther is simple.

Panther if you didnt know is scratch 1.4 with many simple blocks that help users.
especially <when recieved>
how will newcomers think of using the variables in an advanced way to recreate an action scenario when something is recieved?
im just saying and i think Lightnin might actually have helped with panther if i remember correctly. i know nxii did but i think lightnin actually might have too.

'simple' isn't the same as 'lacks functionality/useful functions/etc.'

So theres the blocks and hey when i first joined scratch i didnt even understand how to make a script where 2 keys are pressed to activate something.( i know right) but now i know alot of advanced stuff. And panther would have helped me alot if it were made when i was first starting up.
ive been around for a while.
I was here when TheExplodingCheez was still working even before mr happyman

if you dont know about it search Mr Happyman or TheExplodingCheez
k now back on topic

Panther has a lot of useful blocks in fact the camera open blocks are identical to the video on blocks in the alpha for 2.0 

My Register Date Was screwed up a while back when the weasels ate our server error happened its said like 09 or something ever since
but i really joined in my early years as a user called runn but the projects were very simple

i made electrified123 because i wasnt on runn for about a month then forgot my password (ROFL)
i actually made electrified123 in mid 07 i dont remember the exact date

in scratch 2.0 we should get a

<[brodcast v] recived?>

block

That's been suggested SO MANY TIMES before. With variables it's easy:

when gf clicked
set [startrecieved? v] to [0]

when i receive [check v]
if <(startrecieved?) = [1]>
 set [startrecieved? v] to [0]
 broadcast [yes v]
end

when i receive [start v]
set [startrecieved? v] to [1]

i stink 

No, you don't stink, I agree it may be easy with variables, but wouldn't it be nic to have a block like

<[broadcast v] recived?>

I agree - it would be a real convenience.  It's a little confusing to try to define just what we mean by this block...would it stay true forever after the first time the broadcast message was sent?  Or would it "reset" after a little while? 

I put this idea in the Suggestions voting system a while back.  There was some discussion of it but it didn't look like it was going to become a reality, the last time I heard.  But there will probably be some other methods of making sprite activity stop.

Yeah.

you could just do

When I receive [hello v]
set [hello? v] to (1)

when gf clicked
forever
if <(hello?) = [1]>
say [hello]
set [hello? v] to (0) // this is the point I was getting to.
 end
end
