Feature Request: Pen size variable

In the next version of Scratch, could you possibly include a little green oval code chunk called pen size that changes when you change pen size.  It would be used and be like the x-pos and y-pos variables under motion.  It would make drawing programs easier!!!

Re: Feature Request: Pen size variable

You can create your own. Just define a variable (call it pen_size for example) and set the pen size to it. So, you can set and change the variable and then set pen size to it. Just drop the pen_size variable into the [1] part of the pen size control.

Re: Feature Request: Pen size variable

I don't like it when topics come to this point.

Agreed.  That is useful.   smile
I mean the Pen Size Box.

Re: Feature Request: Pen size variable

Great idea!
I will include it in my next release of Streak.
If you want to add it in the meantime, just tell me and I'll explain how to edit the source code to add it.
(if you haven't guessed already, it is very simple to implement)

Re: Feature Request: Pen size variable

This seems so simple to make with a variable that editing the source code would be harder. Just make a variable called pen size and do this:
<set pen size to( <{ pen size }>

You mean *cough*hypocrite*cough*.

What you just did was necroposting, when you're criticizing them for necroposting. It's already slipped, and then you brought it back up to the top again.

Re: Feature Request: Pen size variable

It's funny how none of the people in this thread who screamed about the necroposting incidents here didn't bother to hit the report button to have a moderator give the thread and new comments a second look.  roll

Not sure if the idea is dead or not, it still seems to be applicable today so I'm going to let the thread be.

Um... there is already a (pen size) block so I don't think it's really applicable now... just to point that out. It's still possible to use (set pen size to (blah blah variable)) if that's what you're saying.

The topic is calling for a preset variable for pen size (which Scratch currently does not have).

I'm rather neutral on having a preset variable for pen size - we have a preset variable for tempo, direction, and time, so I guess it wouldn't really hurt to make a preset variable for pen size.  smile
