smart one! don't even remember jens project! it was for scratch hackers thing!
That doesn't count because that wasent official and you couldent upload projects. Lists will be very useful, smart programmers will be able to do many new things.

Lists are just groups of variables.

Re: 1.3 Beta
A list is a variable that can hold more than one value at a time. To use lists, you specify the value you want to store in the list and which index (or slot, or position) you want to store it in. So it's basically a way to store a lot of data without creating a lot of variables. An example:
//Records what you draw with the pen tool then draws it back
When Flag Clicked:
Delete all of xpos
Delete all of ypos
Clear
Repeat Until (key [space] pressed?){
go to [mouse pointer]
If (mouse down?)
add (mouse x) to xpos
add (mouse y) to ypos
pen down
Else
pen up
}
Clear
Pen up
Go To X:(xpos at 1) Y: (xpos at 1)
Pen down
Step=2
Repeat ((length of xpos)-1){
//With lists, you must specify which index to get data from. We do this with the
//variable "step", which will increase by 1
Go To X:(xpos at (step)) Y: (ypos at (step))
}
The Scratch team asked us not to discuss the beta on the forums, so I'm sorry, but I flagged this post (muhahahaha!).

I agree. What was the point of making the topic a sticky that many people posted their ideas in and then none of them were even used? I hope they at least put some in the full version...
The lists weren't in the last version (unless yuo meant on other programming languages). I can't wait for the full version. I've thought of at least 5 different ways I could use them. Only 1 thing... I wish lists could be shown/hidden using blocks, just like variables *will* be.
...and hopefully the auto-compression when saving glitch will be fixed, as well.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
