A few little (yet quite annoying) things which I think are missing...

Several blocks, etc. which I think Scratch lacks the ability to do, but it would be good if it could:

- 'While' block, there is no 'While' block, ie. While [A Pressed] .....
- Dragging, there is no way to 'Drag' an object or sprite with the mouse, you can move sprites in design view, but not in preview!
- Exporter, to different formats, such as Java
- A more advanced sprite editor/designer

I think that the 'While' block is the most important missing feature!

Just use "forever, if [event]".

You can make a sprite draggable by clicking the little lock by the sprite's name.

That would take a lot of work to build, but people have done it. See Jens' Scratch2EXE for an example.

That would be nice. I hear they're completely remaking it in scratch 2.0.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

1. While and when are going to be the same things.
2. Dragging, click on the lock.
3. An exporter will not happen because scratch is only to TEACH programming.
4. I'm wondering, what kind of things do you want?

I know some of these have been answered, but the exporter will not happen.
