New "For" block.

Well, I have been working on a Scratch project, and I've stumbled across a problem. I have a bunch of items in a list, and I want to display those items by making a sprite say something. BUT! I would like the sprite to say each item in that list separately. I tried and failed, until I thought about how most programming languages have a "for" statement. I think you should add it for the more complex projects that are out there, to make it easier. Just a thought.

Hey, GamingGuy! I suspect you mean something like "Repeat until" - that block is already available! "Repeat until" is simplified language for "for" because a lot of the people on this site might find that confusing  smile

I have a picture to show you how to do what you mean. It is possible with given blocks.
