Please sticky. smile

Please DON'T start a post on these topics as they have been suggested a lot of times already.

I'll be updating this as new ideas are added / implemented.

Scratch Blocks / Features
Show/hide variable displays
Color Variables
String Variables
Input Boxes
Variable Arrays
Custom resolution
Dynamic Sprite Creation / Duplication
Project Data Saving (Think Highscore lists)
Sound volume / fading

Scratch Website / Sharing System
Larger upload file size
Age Ratings

Features that will not be implemented
These things do not have enough positive aspects to be implemented. We may decide to implement them if you can bring up some positive points. Please DON'T make a new topic to discuss these. Use the link provided here.
Private Messaging System
Rating bars / boxes / stars

If you don't want people to make new threads, at least post links to the topics with the suggestions. That people post whenever they want something new even if it allready has been requested has a purpose, it shows the Scratch team how many are interested in every new suggestion.

AngelEyra · 2007-08-22 16:57:29

Good idea.

*adds links*

Couple of things I would like to see in the forum are 'remembering you' ie. when you go to the scratch website youa re already logged in and also, a private messaging system similar to that found in standard phbb forums where you can send message to other members.

In response to the messaging system...one they're most likely not going to do.

ScipioBellorum · 2007-08-23 05:43:04

Oh, sorry I hadn't seen that topic. Eyra, you should add a list of requested thing slike private messaging that the Scratch team have said they won't do so people don't keep asking.

AngelEyra · 2007-08-23 08:24:58

The scratch team told me not to make a list of things they won't do, so I'm just putting that stuff into the rest of the list.

DrJim · 2007-08-23 13:08:21

Please include "add a volume parameter for sounds" to the list.

I think it is OK if there is a category of features that are not going to be implemented.

One of them is a private notification system.

You can list those things, but just don't make it seem as if we are closed to the idea, it's just that as of right now, there has not been enough positive arguments in favor of those features.

soccrplyer4life13 · 2007-08-24 14:46:29

Actually, what if there was a forum added called like General Chat or whatever, and in that forum, you were able to add a To: box, which would then send a notification message to the user to come look at that forum because a post was made for them to see. That way the forum is completely open to the public still, but a user can let another user know about the post. I know it's pushing the envelope, and I totally understand the reasoning behind the private messages, this is just a quick alternative I thought of in about 10 seconds.

Sawman3 · 2007-08-24 15:12:20

I like soccrplayer4life13's idea, because sometimes (like if you're collaborating with someone or helping them through their Scratch project) email or IM isn't the best--its often good to have a project in front of you. With soccrplayer4life's idea, there's no worry about what younger users are exposed to anymore than with a normal forum because it's all public, but at the same time, it allows you to quickly get in touch with other users. --I hope that adds a positive argument for this one. If not, I can understand why. Although I've just thought of something else: when you create an account on Scratch there could be a way to select your age--then, say, if the user is above a certain age they get an account that allows them to give and recieve private messages and view projects deemed to be inappropriate for younger users, and if they are below that age they get an account like the one's currently in use. cool

AngelEyra · 2007-08-24 16:18:53

Why not just allow comments on user pages? You get a notification every time someone leaves a message...

eyra

Sawman3 · 2007-08-24 17:11:33

But then its not as completely public as the Scratch team wants it to be

smackyandsnoopy · 2007-08-24 22:20:37

yea but people can still see it if they go to your page! and everyone can see everyones page. right?????

s.s.

AlveKatt · 2007-08-26 03:54:01

Eyra, maybe you could edit the post so that it says "Please DON'T start a new thread on these topics. If you want to support a suggestion in this list, please add a post to the existing thread instead."?

bigB · 2007-08-29 12:34:58

what in the world do you mean by "pivot point animating" and "pivot point charecters"?

archmage · 2007-08-29 20:18:45

Case statements would be useful.

hrm · 2007-09-21 19:22:07

I would like to be able to resize on the X and Y dimensions indepently. I would like to make some buckets with a water level.

Heliosa · 2007-09-24 22:54:04

I say that scratch should add a way to make your one blocks!!!

relyt12101 · 2007-09-26 20:00:55

The make you your own block feature is probably going to be in the next version of Scratch.

Heliosa · 2007-09-27 18:39:50

Yay!!!

Danish97 · 2007-10-01 07:42:57

I think that the Scratch team is doing a good job and should should make a new version of Scratch and add some new blocks to it.
