"Send to Project (project link)" block

I think that there should be a "send to project (project link)" block. What it would do is send you to the project that is put in the "(project link)" part. It should probably be a block that can't have other blocks placed after it.

This block would be effective when someone wants to announce the winner to a project by putting up a project that tells which project won. It would also be effective for when a sequel to a game is made and the project creator wants you to play the first version first. There are probably other reasons for why this block would be effective.

I know that some people would probably abuse this block by putting it right under a [block]<when green flag clicked>[/block] block. People might also use it to link to inappropriate projects. I know how this can be stopped, though. Whenever the block is used, a box can pop up in the game area telling the user that a project is being linked to. It can say which project is trying to be linked to, the name of the project that is being linked to, and possibly the picture and description of the project that is being linked to. Then, it would ask the user if they would like to go to that project.

This block would probably go in the "Control" section. Does anyone agree that this block should be added? If not, please tell me why.  smile

Re: "Send to Project (project link)" block

Yes but word it as "go to project"
P.S. you can put links in project notes.

Re: "Send to Project (project link)" block

Well, I know that you can put links in project notes, but there might also be a certain point in the game where you want them to go to the project at that exact point. You're right that it should be worded as "go to project". Thanks for your opinion, by the way.  smile
