Re: Scratch 1.4
In the Scratch editor's upper left corner there are 8 catagories of items. I would like an additional catagory called "Favorites" where I can place all of my favorite blocks and variables for easy access while scripting.
Right now, I drag a a few items out into the scripts area and "right-click, duplicate" to keep them handy.

You can do the bounce off useing blocks that already exist http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Targethero/448805

Re: Scratch 1.4
I would like to see a Comment block. This would do nothing to the running code, but allow explanations in the scripts view. Currently, I use a "set comment variable to ...." instead of a real comment block.
A real comment block would be better because it would be a different color (so it stands out) and wouldn't degrade performance of the running script.

Yes! That's what they used to have and now the comment block is just a bubble.

That would be great, I always end up having to recreate code or duplicate it.

Re: Scratch 1.4
How about a block that will really stop all activity and not allow it to continue? You know, like an END block that really ends and won't allow anything to happen until the green flag is pressed again?
[blocks]Currently, if you use <stop all>, the user can still click on things which may allow scripts to start running again.[/blocks]

Re: Scratch 1.4
How about some very basic string handling like this:
A block that would break a string up into characters or words and place the results into a list*:
[ Unpack [words v] of (MyString) into (MyList) ]
[ Unpack [characters v] of (MyString) into (MyList) ]
And the reverse*:
[ Pack (MyList) into (MyString) as [words v] ]
[ Pack (MyList) into (MyString) as [characters v] ]
I think this would be the absolute minimum about of string handling you could get by with to actually create useful programs.
*Using "words" would insert spaces between entries (or split at spaces), "characters" would not.

As far as I know it comes out when it comes out. (Maybe in a month Take a long time to program stuff. Took practically 3 months to have 1.3 come out.)

Re: Scratch 1.4
I want a
repeat for _ seconds block
Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Me too! That would help so much! It would be one of the best improvements to Scratch ever!

there could also be a factorial block

And could Quick Look be implemented on the Mac version of Scratch 1.4?

That would be invaluable! I don't know how many times I've had to do that by hand.

I posted it alredy but it will be great when you add text functions (charAt(),comparing texts,maybe even md5 encoding).
PS. When 1.4 is coming out?

Re: Scratch 1.4
How about a block like this:
--,__,----------------------------------------
[ Stop All Scripts Except This One ]
--,__,----------------------------------------
Where all scripts would stop before the next block executes.

I think the timer will come in handy
reset timer
repeat until ( timer > 2 )
scripts here
end
