New Scratch Blocks

Basically we have many cool and unique blocks but we need more

1.cloning sprites without using lots of space block(duplicate() of__):We need that cause when we work on a game and we have a enemy you can just have one sprite but 1000000 copies.

2.Hide/Show List:When you are having an opening for a menu or something you need a list of allies but they appear on the Menu so you need to Hide the list but it shows when it receives start of game.

3.Time(Second,Minute,Hour,Day)So you could keep track of time like "I s y n ™" (08jackt's Simulation)can tell you the time(12:00)

4.Expansion on the typing(Shift,Tab,Alt,Backspace,Enter,F1-F12,Any Key)Many people are lazy and they don't want to go through so many "or" statements to make press any key so therefore there should be a press any key.Shift in battle 2 player games like "Radar Wars"
battling each other so if you press shift then you gain your special or you attack like that or at least something.

5.URL Block: Ultimate Block for links to projects ,galleries,forums and blogs(If you are in tutorial on how to learn a different language then if you want to learn many different languages then the URL block can send us there instead of searching for the gallery in all of those Galleries.

Re: New Scratch Blocks

Each of these have been suggested before, each with their own setbacks. I would provide you with detailed descriptions as to why some of them haven't been implemented tomorrow, because iPods aren't the greatest for that kind of stuff.

Re: New Scratch Blocks

you can see lots of these in many scratch mods, i believe all of them are in panther, and they will all appear in my scratch mod Swipe as well.

Re: New Scratch Blocks

Alrighty-o, my detailed response:

Sprite duplication - this feature is absolutely required for Scratch 2.0, undoubtedly. It's one of the most requested features.

Hide/Show Lists - It's on the list for the next version of Scratch, 2.0, apparently: http://suggest.scratch.mit.edu/forums/6 … ?ref=title.

Time - This would be neat  smile  I know it has been suggested before, but it would really be breaking the barrier between a Scratch Project and the rest of the computer, which hasn't happened yet.

Expansion of typing - I definitely suggested this one before - http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4660 - so I totally support, obviously  tongue  Think of the new realms of projects that could be created with this  big_smile

URL block - Yes, this has been suggested before (a lot), but it has been shot down by several members of the community just because it's easy to link to potentially harmful websites, and there's no way to get out going there. I think a simple dialog box ("Would you like to go to website x?") could easily side-step that, so I'm in full support  smile

Hm... This wasn't as detailed as I had intended  tongue
