more blocks
these are more blocks that could be really useful and would make scratch awesomer than it already is
>hiding?
>showing?
>(variables and lists) can be a sprite so it can move around and stuff and have scripts (eg. move (10) steps
>show/hide list
>set (variable) positive (+) or negative (-)
>(variable) switch from positive to negative or negative to positive
>stop sound (sound)
>stop sounds that (sprite) is is playing
>clear pen colour (blue)
>clear (sprite)'s pen
>(message) been recieved?
>(sprite) saying/thinking (hello)?
if you have more ideas post on more blocks

1 and 2: One of these would be enough.
3: X and Y position wourld be nice, but I'm not sure about rotation...
4: There are some bugs with the online player.
5: You can do this with ( [ abs ] ( variable ) ) and ( ( 0 ) - ( [ abs ] ( variable ) ) )
6: ( ( 0 ) - ( variable ) )
7, 8: Useful in some aspects
9: I don't think this is possible, and even if it was, the color must be exact which is hard to do...
10: I've also thought about this, but Scratch would have to get vector drawing support to do this, or at least drawing layers for each sprite.
11: Not this again -.- ... look in some other suggestion threads I've posted in, I've already explained why this is impossible in at least 5 threads...
12: I don't think a block like this one would be needed...

Set variable positive or negative can be done easily:
<if> variable>0
Now if you want positive... leave it.
If you want negative:
<set{ variable }to( (( <{ variable }> <*> -1))
<else>
If you want it positive:
<set{ variable }to( (( <{ variable }> <*> -1))
if you want it negative...leave it.
