I advise you to read this post if you know programming or you might not understand anything.
So , I think that it would be lovely to have FOR loops. Functions would also be useful to do a repetitive thing easily and also allow us to create systems for effects and stuff. So , what do you say? these could be kept in an 'Advanced' tab or something like that. It'll be cool to have these improvements in scratch. This is all.
bye all !

Functions/procedures would indeed be pretty handy -- they've been requested quite a few times, too. Not sure if they'll ever be incorporated.
"For" loops are easy enough to create with existing blocks, though... the [ Repeat (10) ] block is sort of a premade one, or you can build your own:
Set $i to (1);
Repeat until < $i = 10 > {
do stuff;
Set $i to ( $i + 1 );
}

for a prototype of Scratch with procedures and functions check out BYOB (build your own blocks)
