Need help on input - Need interactivity
Hi,
I am new to Scratch and have been trying to find out how to get user interactivity, aside from detecting a key-press or a mouse click
Assumming (using the default Cat1-a sprite) you want the cat to say "Hello, please type in your name"
That's easy
But the next thing is that I want the user to be able to type in his/her name and press "ENTER" to end his/her input - then the next step is that the cat will reply "Hello <name>, Welcome to Scratch" ......or something to that effect
So far, I haven't figured out how to do this (easily) in Scratch
It would be great if under the variable and list creation, an additional block is given...
such as GET <user input> to <vairable>
Can someone help?
Thanks!

Re: Need help on input - Need interactivity
Thank you - deatheater.
The scripts give me what I need.
However, it is rather complex for kids to understand.
Do you think that my suggestion is valid? i.e. have a GET block to capture user input and then assign the input to a variable or an entry in a list?
Do you think it makes sense and should I post it on the Suggestion forum?
Once again - thank you very much
