Answer block update needed.
Recently my cousin Joshua was playing with my pig-latin translator, and he put it into an endless loop accidentally. This happened because he didn't type anything into the question block, and presssed the check mark button. I am guessing that this is due to Scratch continually trying to retreive an answer that dosen't exist. No, I was thinking that there could be a default answer for Sratch 2.0, such as "Null", "Nil", or "Nothing". Then, maybe the enless loop won't happen. Also, if you would like to try to re-create the error then go here.

Just check if it blank first.

A default answer wouldn't stop the problem; the default text could always be deleted. 
The best thing to do is to add in a script to the project that'll check for an answer - if the answer's blank, it can re-ask the question.

Yeah, like that! I think that it should do that automaticly. That would be cool.

This needs to be fixed. It will be the world's downfall.
