Move variables and lists
Due to a bug, sometimes lists won't show up in the same place as you put it in the editor. Also, you sometimes want a variable (e.g. health for an enemy) to follow a sprite. That's why I suggest “move variable/list to x: ??? y: ???”. It will save time with us no longer having to make 3 sprites with a million costumes or complex pen bars that would be laggy to move and hard to master for beginners.

The workarounds do work, but are relatively complex, but I agree that your first point is annoying. I support- it would be useful for new scratchers. One thing to consider: Where would the centre of the variable be? It can't be the centre of the display as it's size changes depending on how many characters it has.

Maybe between the middle 2 digits or in the centre of the middle letter?

But then if the length of the variable changes, that means that it would expand left and right, making it annoying if you want it in the top corner.The workarounds do work, but are relatively complex, but I agree that your first point is annoying.

I suppose in this case you can workaround:
if length of score = 1 then
go to …
else
if length of score = 2 then
go to …
and so on, but this is a messy way to do things.

Move variables and lists
I'm still new to Scratch and I'm pretty sure you can't do this but I thought it would be pretty useful if you could move Variables to a specific location by using Motion blocks such as “go to x:___y:____.” I think this would be useful because I like having things at a specific location and as of now I believe you have to free hand move variables. Thanks for reading!

Move variables and lists
A lot of times I need to move variables for various reasons. For example, sometimes they get in the way of sprites or need to move with a sprite.
I would like a block that looks like this:
I don't have any particular project that needs this, but it could help with coming up with other projects that uses it.
I would like a block that looks like this:
move variable [ variable] to x:(0) y:(0)
I don't have any particular project that needs this, but it could help with coming up with other projects that uses it.
