In the project http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/13096868/ I have made “helpers” definitions for easing the construction of geometrical figures mostly “à la logo”.
Those “helper” commands are found in the sprite “pencil”.

When small children want to draw with that “pencil” sprite, they can add small pieces of code using my “helper” commands.

I would like to hide my definition so that the small children cannot see them. How to do that ?
Currently in my project I put them very far at the right side of the code panel. But this is not a good solution.
I thought to put them in another hidden spirte, but in that case how to command the currentls shown “pencil” sprite for making the geometrical figures ?

Thanks for any idea !

The only other solution is to hide them behind other scripts too bad they're not collapsible

Good workaround and good suggestion for improvement. Thanks.

In the meantime I found in the forum:
Option to hide/show block definitions in editor
and:
Scratch interface improvements (8 suggestions)! (see suggestion six)

They both phased what I wanted to have, but they did it better than I do.

So, those ideas are still pending …

In old logo, you have a kind of scratchpad to play with the turtle. Here (in Scratch) the “coding pane” can be used as a scratchpad and as a “programmin pane”.
May we could distinguish and switch between those ttwo kinds of panes (in each sprite) … ?

In all cases this is a kind of concept of “module” or “package” that you can show/hide at will.

I've tried hiding my helper blocks behind a big comment that reads “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”… I'll see how this works in practice with kids next week.

While doing this I noticed some visual glitches when dragging comments while zoomed out… I'll have to search and see if they are known.

Why have you necroposted yourself 2 years after the last post to tell people not to necropost? That's not very sensible.

that feature sounds like something @griffpatch could add in dev tools for scratch 3

that post sounds like something you could avoid posting on very old topics for the sake of humanity.

Hi! Thank you for your input, but this thread is pretty old - I don't think it's relevant anymore. When you respond to a topic, please make sure it's recent and the original poster still needs an answer. Thanks!
