JK. there may be something down there…

Maybe not, tho.

You can do it in scratch 1.4
Here is the instructions :)

Scratchers should learn that variables are not actually a means of displaying information, they are a method of storing information, as they are in every other language.

For new scratchers who haven't learned how to create more advanced GUI, I don't see what is wrong with this. There are plenty of things existent in Scratch that aren't in any other programming language. Such as:

if on edge, bounce

say []

pen down

Also, displaying variables themselves isn't something other programming languages have. Technically, it can be done with more effort, but so can those examples. Support.

I did a thing once. Also a wiki ‘contributor’.
Node.js is cool.

You can display, change font, and style variables in other language, like JS, by using the .innerHTML property to set something in HTML to something else, like to a variable value. And if what you said is true, then why does Scratch even display variables in the first place? And you might say ‘just use a variable displayer, programming is meant to be hard’ and that is complete and utter lies. The whole purpose of programming is to make it easy and accessible for people to make their own creations. Why do you think they introduced custom blocks? To make it easier for people if they wanted to call code in different areas. Now get your head straight, theonlygusti. #rekt

Scratch already has features not present in any other language, like the variable readout and the glide to blocks.
Edit: I agree, but if they have variable readouts they need a proper method of placing it.

What about this block?

<variable[example v]is touching[mouse-pointer v]::variables

define SM64 TAS 16 Stars
get (8) more stars::sensing
get[1st key v]::sensing
get(7)more stars::sensing
catch [MIPS v]::sensing
clip into[30 star door v]::sensing
go to[Dire Dire Docks v] and get [1st v]star::sensing
get[2nd key v]::sensing
BLJ into[50 star door v]::sensing
BLJ into[Endless Stairs v]::sensing
beat last level::sensing

No Support. Variables are to show and store values, and just putting them at the same position throughout the project is fine.

I support too. In my game, I would like to be able to enlarge and move your score at the end of a game. As well as move the highscore if beaten. So, maybe also add:

change [variable 1 v] size by [#]% :: variables

Then find a place where it doesn't. It's not that hard.

What if a sprite moves to that place?

I'm sure there is some space in the project not used.

Ok…
*turns pen on all sprites, gets thickness to the right amount and plays the project*
Ah! That's space isn't used!

Seriously though, projects such as maze games, etc. that require the user to choose where to move a sprite could use this. The coder doesn't know where the user will move.

support.
here is my list of blocks to help with that:

move [variable v] to x:(10) y:(10) :: variables

set x of [variable v] to (10) :: variables

set y of [variable v] to (10) :: variables

change x of [variable v] to (10) :: variables

change y of [variable v] to (10) :: variables

Support, since variables are often displayed in Scratch projects, there is no workaround to this suggestion, and the variable part of data block section would get larger with this suggestion.

Here are some similar list blocks:

move [list v] to x:(10) y:(10) :: list

set x of [list v] to (10) :: list

set y of [list v] to (10) :: list

change x of [list v] to (10) :: list

change y of [list v] to (10) :: list

2+2=4
2*2=4
2^2=4
2^^2=4
2^^^2=4
2^^^^2=4

I see a pattern.
