Variable And List Blocks For Scratch 2.0...

This is a continued thread of Billybob-Mario's thread, with some extras  smile

Here is a link to another thread, suggesting Mesh blocks: Mesh Block Ideas

Below is a list of blocks I think we really should put in Scratch 2.0. However, some of the variable blocks aren't really that neccessary  tongue

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some of the variable blocks I designed:

These Blocks would enable things like this:

Coloured Variables:

Fading Variables:

Moving Variables:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some list blocks that we really need as well:

I know the blocks above have been suggested already, I just wanted to create some mockup images of them.

Re: Variable And List Blocks For Scratch 2.0...

I don't think the x, y, and effect ones are necessary - they're all numerical values anyway. But the other ideas are awesome  smile

Wait... I thought these blocks would be used to store info. I just noticed they were to change the monitor's position and appareance. Good ideas.

Re: Variable And List Blocks For Scratch 2.0...

Interesting ideas  wink  I do like most of them! Ghost effect would allow them to fade away, instead of just disappearing, and colors would be great (even though you can hack to get them). And as usual, hide and show list is a must  wink
