Elif (else-if) block

Add me too your support too - I program in Java, and believe me - it makes code a lot neater

Generation 377: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment. I did not start this

Kumquats haven't eaten my signature! although I don't know what has…

Edit: I figured out what ate my signature! nothing. A bee stung it!

but I have seen some apples that looked like troublemakers hanging around it lately…

It's still less messy than nesting if-else blocks.

Back again for input. One thing I like about nesting is that it's very easy (Especially for beginners) to see why it works the way it does. This block sorta busts that, but I dunno. The current method, while it can get untidy in a sense, is a much better visual representation of the if/else process, showing it in a sequencing style most Scratchers will be easily familiar with.

Get a sweet lick of my new game right here! It's a tasty one!

(+)

and

(-) :: sensing

signs in blocks besides

(() + ())

and

(() - ())

are not natural.

No support. There are easy workarounds for this.

Yes the workaround is easy, but it can get messy:

Semi-support, it would make long nested if statements more compact in terms of editor space, but the workaround is quite easy.

No support,stacking if-else blocks is really easy, and this might confuse new scratchers.

These could confuse new scratchers (I'm just a alt. account)

([ v] of (9) :: operators)
(variable)
(list :: list)

Support, nesting if-else blocks could cause a lot of project space, and confusion.

Off-Topic: 378 generations?!? Are you sure that's a legitimate claim in your signature?
On-Topic:

if <> then :: control cstart
... :: grey
elseif <> then ::  celse
... :: grey
else ((+ :: control) :: grey ring) :: celse
... :: grey
((- :: control) :: grey ring) :: cend

Is this a bad representation or what?

How is it confusing? When I was new I'm pretty sure I understood what “else” meant.

Don't shoot ideas down just because they “might be confusing” to a certain demographic. Does that mean we should remove remixes, because if an inexperienced Scratcher attempts to remix one of griffpatch's projects, they might get confused? That makes zero sense, so don't use that to warrant no support.

I as for the multiple elses, how would this work? Would the next else go after the previous in is done? You could put them all in one else. Or would there be another if, making this block not work? No support.

Stop saying that something could potentially confuse a New Scratcher as justification of saying No Support!
