Re: text box

Sounds to me like you need to make your own / borrow somebody else's text editor.  I have one, though you'll have to adapt it a bit.

Re: text box

I understand.  There is no such thing as a text-box in scratch other than the "Ask__and wait" block.  But using this it is still impossible to have multiple boxes at once.  It is also impossible to change the location of the text boxes.  You have to do it manually by creating a version of a text editor.

Re: text box

What I would do is just ask for names 3 times and put them in a list, then the information would be easily sortable  smile

Re: text box

I know someone that used a block that you could type in when you were viewing a project. Do you know how to get that?

Re: text box

That was probably the "<Ask ___ and wait>" block.  It is under sensing.  Whatever the user types into it goes into the "(answer)" block that is  right beneath it.

Edit: It's worth noting that you can only ask one question at a time with this block.

Yeah, that's probably the simplest way.
