Position variables/asks/lists wherever you want them
Possible blocks:
move <variable> to x: < > y: < >
set <variable> readout to <large>
set <variable> slider min/max to min: < > max: < >
set <variable> <color> effect to < >
move <list> to x: < > y: < >
move ask to x: < > y: < >
spread <list> from x: < > y: < > to x: < > y: < > (by scimonster)
<variable/list> glide < > secs to x: < > y: < >
Suggestion Page
If you have any new blocks or whatever, feel free to post them!

Re: Position variables/asks/lists wherever you want them
Variables are for holding values in programming, not for displays. 
You could just use sprites for the displays...

What's wrong with them? (Well, I don't use them as displays but still 
)

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

I think we all know how much of a pain it is to make a display using sprites.

[position [list^] over x:() y:() to x:() y:()]
And what is with the ask? Like, the input bar? That would be nice.

Yes. I feel that an extension on how the ask block could be used would be good 
.
EDIT: lol quoted your post has sad faces in it because of the colon and the bracket.

They can still always be made more versatile.

I agree. It is more complicated to display using sprites. Variables offer convenience.

I'd prefer if they implemented something like the fonts in Stencyl so it could be like regular programming.
