"Print ___" Block (30+ Supporters)

IronBit_Studios

I was thinking that Scratch should have a “Print” function:

print [] :: pen

It would work as it does in other languages, printing the input.
There would also be related blocks to support it:

newline :: pen

set print font to [ v] :: pen

set print size to ( v) :: pen

set print colour to [#ff0000] :: pen

set print boldness to ( v) :: pen // I forgot this block. 0 is super light, 100 is super thick.

print [] to x:() y:() :: pen // Suggested by Pot-Of-Gold and Samanyolu

set print [ v] effect to () :: pen
change print [ v] effect by () :: pen // Blocks suggested by Samanyolu

P.S. I know this can be workroundable, but it's REALLY tedious…

just one missing detail… where does it print to?

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Maybe it prints starting at the sprite:
Maybe:

print [] at x: () y; () :: pen

It prints where the sprite is at, similarly to the pen.

Yeah, that's what I mean. It's basically the Print function from the Text-based languages.

Support, but couldn't use a text editor that's been made in Scratch already?

when [chromometer altimeter v] = [5th length v] and [7th length v] with a [gap v] of (17) ::events hat
forge [chromometer v] altimeter until < (speed) = (velocity)> ::control cstart
	switch places with (759 v) altimeters with value of (speed) ::looks
	control [altimeter 1 v] at time (10):(17):(58) ::control
end
initialize sequence (24) so [object 3 v] moves to x (156) y (231) ::control
reveal [final answer v] and stop running this script ::events cap

I also support for a print at x: () y: ()
and removing the 60 second rule

Read my PS. I'm aware of it, it's just really annoying to implement and fiddle around with. Way more complex compared to a block.

1:

go to x: () y: ()
print [] :: pen

2: Denied as a spamblock. Maybe for 500-1000+ posters, but put that in a new topic.

Support workarounds are about 100+ blocks!
And the 60 second rule

I used to be active on the forums, but I have mostly moved past Scratch. I still do check my Scratch messages, so if you'd like to talk to me, just leave a comment on my profile. My main project on Scratch was Cookie Clicker, but my newest project is Snake Snake, a game based off of Snake, but with two snakes, and you can play either singleplayer or multiplayer.

Uh I was joking

After my workaround, you could revert to the old position and keep going.

Support. If you can do this in Java, you should be able to do it in Scratch.

when green flag clicked
if <(language) = [English ]> then
    
say [Everything is Awesome!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [French ]> then
    
say [Tout est super-genial!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Italian ]> then
    
say [E meraviglioso!] for (2) secs
end
if <(language) = [Spanish ]> then

say [Todo es fabuloso!] for (2) secs    
end
