they should more blocks related to time...

when gf clicked
forever if (touching sprite 2)
start (time  1)
  end

if <(time 1) > [10]>
do bla bla bla
  end
reset (time 1)

and also like

forever 
change x by [10] in every [5][seconds v]

last one is right or wrong i dont know...but some times felt need for this type of block

forever 
change x by [10] in every [2]<check>(red colour is touching blue colour)

when gf clicked
forever
change x by [10] in every [5][seconds v]
when gf clicked
forever
wait (5) secs
change x by (10)

These scripts do the same thing.

Don't support

Scratch is a programming language, it's meaningless to have blocks that you can program quite easily, that's the point of programming, solving problems and making things do stuff.

Exactly.

The "multiple timer" suggestion can be easily done by referencing Scratch's only timer, with a list to record when our defined timers have started.

when gf clicked
reset timer
replace item (1 v) of [timers v] with (timer) //record when did our timer start
wait (1) secs
say ((timer) - (item (1 v) of [timers v])) //retrieve timer count
replace item (2 v) of [timers v] with (timer) //let's start another

(I seriously hope Scratch 2.0's timer is as precise as the online player's, i.e. doesn't only count seconds. You could make a block out of this btw, could be handy tongue

)

Sorry ... u miss understood a little

first of all

That

change x by (10) in  every (5)[second v]

mean that after 2.5 sec the sprite will be 5 unit ahead..that is it will move with uniform velocity of 10 units per 5 sec
this is because when i uploaded my project on web...it went went completely wrong with its timing

to technoguyx
i just saying to make new block for times...your script is comparatively harder and what to say ..bigger...and that can be used in more neat and clean ways...

The Scratch Team doesn't add workaroundable things. Most of the time.
Programming is figuring out scripts, not using premade scripts.

technoguyx · 2012-12-07 10:24:15

That's simple to do, too

repeat (10)
 change x by (1)
 wait (0.5) secs //5 / 10 = 0.5
end

Also possible for any amount of movement, in any time

set [movement v] to (150) //in pixels
set [time v] to (2) //in seconds
repeat (movement)
 change x by (1)
 wait ((time) / (movement)) secs

There's probably much better ways to do this, but this should be a nice, simple workaround. There's always the "glide" block, too.

Firedrake is right - programming is all about figuring out solutions to problems, using a set of tools (blocks, commands) given to you. If you can't figure out something in your own, you can ask the community here, in the forums. You'll be able to make custom blocks in 2.0, too.

That's what the glide block does, put it in a repeat/forever loop.

just note that real code is not usually "neat and clean" but complex and complicated, as they don't have features to do everything.

I might as well make a maze game with one block -_-
