New Variable Ideas

You should make it so that when you make a variable, there is another two blocks for it that are hide and show for the variable. That would be helpful. Also, you should make two forms for the variables: one with a square around it (the normal one) and one that is just numbers.

These would be helpful

Re: New Variable Ideas

I think the variable display block should come up as a sprite, and be manipulatable in exactly the same way as any other sprite.  Move, hide, change colour etc etc.

Re: New Variable Ideas

Maybe there should be a "paint-editor"ish feature for variables, in which you can change what the small area behind the numbers looks like, and also the font of the numbers.
