2 Ideas!

Hi. These are 5 ideas for Scratch:

A) Official Scratch App for creating projects
B) A sorter that reads posts and automatically puts them in up to 3 subjects.
C) The ability to tell time
D) Read descriptions from past projects.
E) Set height and width of project (pixels)

An example for D:

when gf clicked
ask (What is the secret code?) and wait
if <[answer]>=<[(description) of (Mystery Game)]
change [coins] by (1,000)
change [password used?] by (1)
if answer = description of Mystery Game

How do you the (___ of ___) script?

Re: 2 Ideas!

1. What would the app do? Which devices would the app be for?

If you want to view the Scratch website, use your mobile browser.
There used to be an app on iOS devices (unofficial though) so you could play projects. It broke their rule that kept devices safe from some viruses and such or something so it was removed. It's really not their fault, as they'd prefer not to have several million people complaining and stuff.

An HTML5 version of the site and program will be worked on after 2.0 is released, and hopefully will be playable on all mobile platforms.

2. What would this do? I don't see any point in having this, especially considering how hard it'd be for computers to read and comprehend posts.

3. This can be found in 2.0.

4. I guess this might be cool and not too hard to make but I don't think it serves any real purpose.

For 4, the purpose is that if you have cheat codes to get money in your game or whatever, people can just download your project and look at it. With Scratch 2.0, you just have to click a button and it takes you INSIDE THE PROJECT! This would be a way to disguise your code... and if it becomes a popular game, you can get people viewing your other projects.

The problem still persists even if you had this block, since you could simply change "password used" by -1, or go to the other project, and trawl through the code of that.

Honestly, if I didn't want people to see cheat codes then I wouldn't upload it to Scratch.

I'm trying to make some Super Mario Bros. Bloopers, but the height is too short.
