I have two ideas to do with the timer, both would go in the sensor category of blocks. The first is that each sprite should have a separate timer, instead of one timer for all the sprites. This way, you would be able to have more than one timer going at a time. This would add to the block '() of ()'; there would be 'timer of sprite' as well. The second idea is for a 'pause timer' block. This would come in handy if your game had the ability to be paused.

Anyone?

Am I the only person who can see this thread? yikes

I really like the idea of a separate timer for each sprite! That would be very handy. I can see where a pause timer block could be useful as well. Good thoughts smile

Also, sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm on my iPod!

Which has spellcheck and autocorrect...?

Yeah but that sometimes does the wrong words, like where it says 'rung' instead of 'going'.

FallenIce · 2011-11-22 17:18:50

cool suggestion!

scimonster · 2011-11-23 03:01:18

Yeah, I support! big_smile

Thanks to everyone who's supported so far! I'm not able to put up a list of supporters, as I can't edit my posts, but I'll make sure I remember to do that when I become a Scratcher. wink

That would be very useful. smile

henley · 2011-11-23 19:26:09

If needed, all of this could be done by making a variable.

Yeah, I know you could infinitely set the variable to the timer so that you could show and hide it, but you still wouldn't be able pause it. hmm

Actually, you can. I'll give you a project in a few minutes.

EDIT: Nvm, it has a delay when restarting.

And a set timer to () too!

Hm... A timer isn't really a variable though, so I'm not sure about that block. Just my opinion though smile
