If we shortened LS97's, I'd prefer it.

Yeah, I just don't have check boxes readily available in Bingo (hey, great idea!) so I used the true/false drop-down instead, just for this mock up.

Sure... LOL.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Re: The new block to freeze time
Another way to pause: Turn on single stepping, then click any of the menus.

Re: The new block to freeze time
I support. It would do the same as pressing the pause button on BYOB.

Re: The new block to freeze time

It only pauses the one script.
But then what's the difference between wait?
scimonster wrote:
Pause would be sort of like wait, but wait only pauses that script but pause will pause all scripts, on all sprites.
[blocks]<wait( 1 )secs>[/blocks] makes that script wait, pause (1) secs makes everything pause for 1 second
[blocks]<wait until>[/blocks] makes that script wait until the condition is fulfilled, pause until <> pauses everything until the condition is fulfilled.

Re: The new block to freeze time
That seems very difficult to me.

[blocks]

Sci,
This difference is that it will automatically 'place' a wait block after every stack block. This will reduce the time it takes for a pause button to pause it. Less lag = Good.
Ah. OK, then, nice idea! I also like the check box on the if but I would like to see one on a the repeat blocks [/blocks] <repeat until> AND also <repeat( (so it will check the number and compare it with each time it has run BUT that one should have a drop down menu with check once, check after each repeat, and check after each block.)

This is an amazing idea. I really can't stress how much I want this, so I will try to get as close as possible:

Re: The new block to freeze time
Firstly, WHAT THE does it pause?
Secondly, It will be impossible to make it resume even with a resume block it would not work because all the scripts will be paused and it wont be able to do the resume block because it is paused.
SO this block is useless.

Wow! This block is so simple yet so hard to explain!
Look at this:
Gobo (sprite1) has a long script (shortened to one block) inside a run [ but if <> pause block. If the 'pause' variable is 1 then that long script will stop and will not countenue is until (pause) ≠ 1. The other scripts on Gobo and all the other sprite will still go on normally. sprite2 is a pause button. Clicking it will toggle the variable and stop or start Gobo's script.
