Think before you post.
Before you post think of some things:
1. Has anyone posted this thought before?
2. Is it actually useful to scratch? I have seen blocks such as "And/Or" Someone posted a sensible comment saying "How would it know what to pick?"
3. Think of what you're saying! People say instead of last costume you could just do (( costume <-> 1 )) Well, why need next costume too? (( costume <+> 1 ))

And scratch team, Do we really nead two of the same blocks? <move( )steps> is the same as <change x by(
Those two blocks only do the same thing when the sprite is facing at 90 degrees. The Move () Steps always moves in the direction that the sprite is pointing while the Change X by () only changes the X coordinate, which results in a move to the right or left (when negative), Not the same at all.

lol got a taste of your own medicine. But seriously, I know you weren't trying to be, but that was hypocritical.

They made the
<move( )steps>
Prolly cause people dont know you could do this
<change x by( ( [sine] of ( Direction) )>
<change y by( ( [cosine] of ( Direction)>
The original version of scratch didn't even have trig functions.

Yup, 1.2.1 was the newest release then. And it's true, v1.1 didn't have any trig.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
