Lists multiplication
We need a way to multiply lists by other lists so the answer generates a list, like how you multiply matrices.

Re: Lists multiplication
Yes. Like that. Please tell me that isn't how it works now, or I'm an idiot.

Re: Lists multiplication
I think that block is rather silly - there's not much use for it, and what would the block look like?
You can just do this:
It's not complex, and honestly, I think it's better than making a block for that.

The problem is that whenever you use a repeat block it's extremely laggy.

Re: Lists multiplication
It also adds a new variable. And it really should work the way I described it anyway.
It would look like multiplication of two lists. This would let it, when multiplied, give a list as an answer instead of a single number.

It's not laggy... it's quite good.

What's so bad about having a variable? 
Blocks are supposed to be simple and for good reasons (ie. [switch to costume [ ]]) - I don't think that the multiplication block would be very good. It just wouldn't fit in...
