stamp layering and layer coordinate translation

Those are my two suggestions for today.

Stamp layering:

You know how you can move sprites to different layers? Maybe you should be able to do that with stamps too! For example, right now, if you have a sprite on the highest layer, and a sprite on the next layer down, if you stamp the top one, it will stamp on the lowest layer, below the next one down. With this suggestion, you would be able to stamp top one, and it would stamp on it's current layer, above the next sprite down.

Layer coordinate translation:

Right now, if you are going to move a group of sprites, you need to have them all move individually, at the same time. With this suggestion, in the stage, you would be able to translate a specific layer, moving all sprites and stamps on that layer. The block to do so would look like this:

Re: stamp layering and layer coordinate translation

I really like both of these.  big_smile  But to implement them, Scratch really needs better layer handling. Right now there's no easy way to get a sprite to go to a specific layer, or to know what layer it's on.

well, I think you should be able to have multiple sprites on separate layers. Maybe there could be sub-layers?

Re: stamp layering and layer coordinate translation

Nice Idea... what would happen if two sprites on the same layer shared space on your screen?  yikes  Flickering? randomly display one above the other? Larger one on top? Big explosion?  tongue

Re: stamp layering and layer coordinate translation

wow, this didn't get as many views as I wanted it to. I guess it's still a valid suggestion though...
