A Pause Button!
Do you ever play a game, and then get interupted for maybe 50 seconds or so? There is a stop button, but no pause button. I think pause should be an option.

Re: A Pause Button!
I think it should be a block. There would be two control blocks called 'Pause', and then a drop down menu, with the following options:
All
This Sprite
This Script
then at the end of one, it would be to wait a certain number of seconds before it started , and at the end of another, it would be to wait until something happened. For example:
When Green Flag Pressed
*Start Forever*
Repeat 10
move 10 steps
End Repeat
pause All until key space pressed
Repeat 10
move -10 steps
End Repeat
*End Forever*

Re: A Pause Button!
just code your own, set every script so that it only works if pause=0
then make the pause button set pause to one and make some cool pause menu

Re: A Pause Button!
FT is right, if there was a pause block it would make it much easier when it doesn't need to be, therefore not learning much of the programming yourself. Plus, this has been suggested many times before, though never happened. Sorry.

Why do you keep posting the same phrase? You post from DSi or mobile?
Pause button is NOT needed. As FT said, you can make it your own (and much cooler than built in)

Re: A Pause Button!
making a pause script is easy all you have to do is copy this one.
<when[ p ]key pressed><broadcast[ pause] this is the script that triggers the pausing. put this reaction script on your sprite. <when I receive[ pause] <wait until> <key[ p]pressed?> <set{ pause }to( 1). ohh and i cant forget this one. put it in your walking or motion scripts

Sorry for double posting but I made a project which shows how to pause in scratch.

Re: A Pause Button!
For in game, I don't like the idea. Although for testing games it might become handy.

What are you talking about "you keep posting the same phrase" That's like the only time I've said that.
