Future Scratch Updates
Future Scratch Updates
Welcome to my suggestions for future scratch updates. At the moment, scratch is a great program, however I think it could defentily use some improvments to make it even better and simpler to use. So here are some of my suggestions that I would love to see in V1.4 and maybe future versions, as well as some website improvments which I think are needed.
Scratch Blocks
Motion
• If touching (sprite) bounce
• Point Away
Looks
• Previous Costume
• Go to back
• Go behind/ infront of (sprite)
Sensing
• If colour is touching (sprite)
Variable and Lists
• Move (variable name) to x: ( ) y: ( )
• Move (variable name) in front of (sprite)
• Show more decimal places for variables
• Move (list name) to x: ( ) y: ( )
• Move (list name) in front of (sprite)
Paint Editor Updates
• Move costume to x: ( ) y: ( ) < Easier than dragging the costume
• Create shadow of last costume < Useful when postioning multiple costumes
Website Updates
• Show more recent projects - Around 10
• Get rid of top remixed.
I hope you like my ideas 
Please post any constructive feedback.

Re: Future Scratch Updates
I like them all! Don't forget Hide/Show lists, and move list to X () y ()

Re: Future Scratch Updates
There are a bunch of webpage improvements here. Check 'em out.
(Mainly I just don't want to retype all of mine.)

Re: Future Scratch Updates
If touching () bounse, point away, prev costume, go to back and go behind () all are not needed. Nearly all of these can be made already, point towards and turn 180, goto costume (cotume#-1), go back(9999) and for go behind, id rather suggest a layer variable be made, and the sencing block updated with other sprite's variable and just a normal bounce block instead ofif on edge bounce.
But nice ideas.

Yea, but those blocks would make life a lot easier.

Really! I agree. You could just to point in direction: (0 - X position of SPRITE) and there you go.

Re: Future Scratch Updates

Yes on previous costume as it already exists. It is known as [switch to costume( (costume) -1)]

<{ }>only one thing for the list if you see there's not an option to hide or show, so be really good if the scratch 2.0 have that option

Re: Future Scratch Updates
Scratch Blocks
Motion
• If touching (sprite) bounce
//this is not needed, what is needed is "bounce". we have "if". unless you like trig, bounce is needed.
• Point Away
//point away from what? the edge? if from sprite, point toward sprite ___ turn 180˚
Looks
• Previous Costume
//change to [costume #-1]
• Go to back
//go back _____
• Go behind/ infront of (sprite)
//really, if you want simplicity this is needed, but we don't NEED NEED this.
Sensing
• If colour is touching (sprite)
//again, not need needed but is good to have.
Variable and Lists
• Move (variable name) to x: ( ) y: ( )
//needed.
• Move (variable name) in front of (sprite)
//it should be "go front ____ layers..."
• Show more decimal places for variables
//i've seen variables with more decimals... i think... if not, this is easily doable with more than one variable.
• Move (list name) to x: ( ) y: ( )
• Move (list name) in front of (sprite)
//ALSO, SHOW/HIDE LIST
Paint Editor Updates
• Move costume to x: ( ) y: ( ) < Easier than dragging the costume
• Create shadow of last costume < Useful when postioning multiple costumes
Website Updates
• Show more recent projects - Around 10
//they only need one row for newest projects... Why do you need more?
• Get rid of top remixed.
//NO. Scratch is all about remixing, that's why it's called scratch. too lazy to go in depth.

ok, kayybe, some of those I think you disagreed with just for the heck of disagreeing with them, you wrote explenations that didn't really make that much sense
