Ideas For Custom Scratch Blocks
Have you ever wanted to make your own Scratch blocks you can use on your own? Like:
previous costumeBut instead you need to do this:
switch to costume ((costume #) - (1))Or maybe use a for loop like in other programming languages:
for (i) in (range (0 v) to (10) with counter (1))
say (i) for (0.5) secs
end
Tell me your ideas for custom Scratch blocks. But make sure that they...1) Have the block make sense, unlike:
John is entering a bar. How awesome is that?!?2) Tell which section it best fits in, or in a custom section:
put item (2 v) of [list v] into the place of item (4 v)This block goes into the section: LISTS
3) Don't have your block be an existing block:
broadcast []A little exception, though: Sometimes you might have an idea for a Scratch block, but it functions like another Scratch block, for example:
while <True>
say (f(number)) for (0.5) secs
change (number) by (1)
end
The while loop above, however, functions just like the "repeat until <boolean>" loop. So though it might seem good, it might not when I look at it. But don't worry.Thanks for seeing this forum post, and friend me

Re: Ideas For Custom Scratch Blocks
Hi, and welcome!
Those are some great ideas for blocks!
I don't really understand the point of this thread though, sorry! Are you offering to make these blocks, or looking for ideas, or just looking to discuss these with people?
Whichever way, good luck and have fun! 
Be nice, I'm an old lady

This looks like a thread to share your own block ideas with other people (I THINK)
Here's my idea:
(item (word v) of [list v])Could replace some scanning.

Re: Ideas For Custom Scratch Blocks
When 2.0 comes out, you'll be able to "make your own block", much like how you're doing it right now. And as Llamalover said, I don't understand what the point of this topic is, mind explaining the point a little more?

I don;t really think it's a suggestion - a Suggestions topic deal more with ideas on trying to improve the Scratch software or Scratch website. Maybe "Advanced Topics" might be a better fit since that's the place the talk about modifying the Scratch interface, which could include Scratch blocks.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
