Re: New Scratch Blocks They Could add

I don't think most of those would work. I think a stop scripts until <something>
would be cool.

Re: New Scratch Blocks They Could add

I think the Scratch team is a bit hesitant to include a "open URL" block because of all the unauthorized and possibly inappropriate content the links could include and the lack of control the user has over them. The last one or two were in NetScratch, and the time is a great idea and an easy fix for the next release.

1st, 2nd, 4th ones have been done, so just the conversion block doesn't exist.

Re: New Scratch Blocks They Could add

It's all about programming abilities... I'm learning Ruby right now, so I think I'll maybe make something with Remote Sensor Connections and Ruby 1.9... Maybe...

If that was a typo and you meant a (world), 1.4 can do that. You use join and letter () blocks and length of together.
