Scratch

Bentheneighbor · 2010-10-01 20:39:39

There are lots of ideas I have for Scratch, so I'm just going to say them all. If someone has already said these and I'm being redundant, I'm sorry, but I hope at least some of them are new. I may add more as I think of them. Please reply to say if you see problems with them, support them, or can think of ways to improve them.

Stop sound block: A block where you can stop an individual sound.

Message on forums: When someone replies to you on a forum, you should get a message, or at least have an option to. The entire forums system is very confusing.

Point towards X,Y: This has been a problem for me sometimes. Also, distance to X,Y

Copy/Pasting scripts: Much easier for making multiple scripts than control clicking.

Drop down variables: This already exists for "Change variable, set variable etc. But it should also be for the individual variable, for plugging into numbers. Drop down could also be added to a lot blocks.

Get rid of forever if loop: I see no point in this, when you can just put an if in a forever loop.

Repeat until I receive: It's already been said, but I've been wanting it for a while.

Pick random _ or _: It's annoying if you want to pick one of two or more random numbers, which are far apart.

Related projects: When you open a project, there should be a list of related projects, similar to youtube.

Most Viewed/Loved: Bring back the list of most viewed and most loved projects, of all time, in addition to most viewed/loved recently.

If you have a long list of costumes, so that you have to scroll a lot to get to the bottom, it is annoying that when edit delete or copy one of the costumes, after doing it you jump all the way back up to the top. This should be changed.

Set Pivot Center to X,Y

More than or equal to, and less than or equal to.

Stop sound block = Agree

Message on forums = Agree, Also a "My posts" button would be useful for keeping track of threads you posted on

Point towards X,Y = Agree, also a distance to X Y block would be nice.

Copy/Pasting scripts = What do you mean? We can already duplicate them in the same way as we would copy and paste

Drop down variables = Do you mean where you can right click it and change the block? If so this would be useful.

Get rid of forever if loop = Agree, although it does cut down on allot of blocks.

Repeat until I receive = An <I receive> block would be more useful and used in the same way and for more things

Pick random _ or _ = Yep, agree.

Related projects = Agree

Most Viewed/Loved = The problem with it was the same project just stuck there constantly getting more and more views and other projects getting more and more unlikely to pass them.

When you edit, copy or delete a costume, it shouldn't automatically jump to the top of the screen. This is especially annoying when you have a lot of costumes, that can't all be seen on one screen. = I am unsure on what you mean for this one.

Why copying and pasting scripts would be better than the current method is because once you copy a script you can paste it multiple times without having to re-click it, and you could paste it into a new sprite without having to drag it or anything.

As for the last one, what I mean is when you have a long list of costumes, so that you have to scroll to see them all, if you edit delete or copy the bottom one, after doing that it automatically jumps to the top of the list of costumes. If you have like 100 costumes, which I do for one of my upcoming projects, it can be very annoying having to scroll down them all.
