Scratch

I know, write/read scratch.lst  like in Jens' lists and files for scratch, you can write .lst files to the computer

I don't see why you would need this... anyway, you can just add blank values or revome values until you get your desired array length

You would need this because it is 2 dimensional, as opposed to lists, which are 1 dimensional.

hey scratch team,hows about in the newest scratch coming out,can u make it so that it wont erase old projects if you save em on scratch?and can u make a few more sounds and costumes (the program can tell u what costue the sprite is?)? Everthing can always be one more step convinient!

A block that can adjust the resolution of the game's screen

What if you could add variable/list values that have letters in them. example:
In a adventure game, to record the players name:
[Set |First Letter| to |B|] [Set |Second Letter| to |O|] [Set |Third Letter| to |B|]
[set |Name| to (((First Letter)+(Second Letter))+(Third Letter))]

Which equals Bob. This way, you could program your game to remember the characters name. AND you can actually use their name in gameplay without having to say it one letter at a time.
Another example:
Once you have the characters name, you may want to use their name WITHOUT having to say it in a whole different speech bubble to the rest of your sentence. If you could add values with letters in them, you could do this...

[set |Sentence| to |, try to move that rock out of the way.]
[Say|((Name)+(Sentence))| for |2| seconds]

Then the sprite would say: 'Bob, try to move that rock out of the way.'
I don't know about you, but I would find this pretty handy.

I would absolutely LOVE having strings.

How about:

< Fade ( 2.1 ) seconds to costume [ costume 2 ] >

Example:

You can do that with something like this:

Actually, PeDu, the first way is how the list reporter blocks already works: It concattenates all items with spaces in between

You would be able to make your own block that could do that, if you could have block lists/arrays and string imputs in the Build Your Own Block feature, you could just do:
Reporter:
[ $string1 & $string2 ] : block variables: { (string1) , (string2) } block lists: { (Strings) } :
[Add (string1) to |Strings| ]
[Add (string2) to |Strings| ]

report (Strings)

The Scratch program window needs to be scrollable similar to that of Chirp.  The new mini laptops can not fit scratch.  A lot of educational companies are using these laptops for their portability. The scrolling would be great since Chirp only works for 1.2 now and so far no sight of a 1.3 version.  Please make it so scratch can be used on lower resolution.

I want a percentage choice block. So, if you say "47% chance/else", then there will be a 47 percent chance that the first branch is followed, and a 53 percent chance that the second branch is followed.

Good Idea...

that can be done with:

set [variable] to (pick random (0) to (100))
if < <(variable)<(47)>or<(variable)=(47)> >, then
{do whatever}
else
{do whatever}
[end if/else]

or, for you new age graphic types:

[blocks]
<set{ variable }to( <pick random( 0 )to( 100 )
<if> << <( <{ variable }> <<> 47 )> <or> <( <{ variable }> <=> 47 )> >>
[/blocks] {do whatever} [blocks]
<else> [/blocks]
{do whatever}

True... Do that then. It will be less trouble for the scratch team which means they'll be able to add other things like a play/pause block. 

I think they should put this <when green flag clicked>
                                         <forever>
                                         <if<touching[ground >
                                         <<move(10)steps>
                                         <end>

No, multidimensional arrays have many arrays in them. You can just add blank values to your array if you wanted it to be a certain length.

But you could add it to Y of array or X of array.
