Re: the dreaded <i recieve[]> block

So many people have wasted so much space in advanced topics for things that are obviously going to happen. If you want that block, and more, I suggest that you try Panther. It is a re-make of Scratch that has a lot more blocks, and other new features.

Re: the dreaded <i recieve[]> block

Slash is just as good as Panther, you could also try that.

(Note: I'm not trying to cause a fight. To me, the top 3 mods are:
1. BYOB
2. Slash
3. Panther
Slash is above Panther because I made it. Programwise, they're about equal.

Re: the dreaded <i recieve[]> block

Alright, this is getting off-topic...

Back on topic: You can quite easily make an <I recieve> block at the moment, but they'll still probably implement it in 2.0.

Yep! It's the most commonly used method to detect broadcasts, and it's a simple workaround. But like I said before, they will probably include a <I recieve> block with the release of the next version of Scratch, 2.0.

it is a bit like other blocks... we really don't need the "wait until" block

How so? There are some other alternatives to "wait until," but I find it really useful. I think it's a pretty necessary block.

Re: the dreaded <i recieve[]> block

An empty repeat until can be used instead of wait until, but I still think it looks a lot neater in a script.

Slash is not as good as Panther. Nothing equalizes it to CYOB, The colorscheme is tacky and choppy, the blocks are not placed in certain positions, and the website is well unorganized. I could go on, and on, about how much better Panther is than Slash. And I think BYOB and Panther are kind of tied.
