More types of variable displays
I like the ones that are out now but It would be nice if there were more for instance, a slider without the variable number displayed another one that was up and down instead of side to side. Just think about it.

Re: More types of variable displays
Maybe you could design one? Like if you wanted it to be really long or if you wanted more then one on one display... Think about it...

Variables can hold text in most programming languages. They're called strings. This would require a whole new set of blocks, but are supposed to be in 1.3.

Not having string variables is a pain. Makes text input way harder than it needs to be.
