Define A Block Remix

Mozboz

play drum ( v) for (0.25) beats

only lets you play in beats…
why not try making a ‘repeat drums’ block?

move () steps

only lets you move and not bounce…
why not try making a ‘move () steps and bounce’ block?
Just remix a block with More Blocks, suggestions above…
Thanks!

define Move And Bounce
move (10) steps
if on edge, bounce

You can already to this with custom blocks?

Semi-Support.

If you meant for the block to be something llike this:

move () steps and bounce

There is already a workaround.

move () steps
if on edge, bounce

I'm a bit confused on the wording of this suggestion, please clarify. Also, if you mean move and bounce if touching edge, you can do this:

define move and bounce
move (10) steps
if on edge, bounce

Also, in the future, please refrain from suggesting 2 things in one topic, you can easily make a separate topic.

A “bounce” block, without saying what to bounce off, is rejected.

I’m a bit confused as to what you mean, can you rephrase that a bit

?

I cannot understand at all, and same cannot most of the people here.
If I understood, the first block has a simple workaround:

define repeat (times) times drum (drum) with for (beats) beats
repeat (times)
play drum (drum) for (beats) beats
end

While the second one is not understandable at all: the sprite should bounce off what? An edge? A sprite?

Yes, here is another:

move () steps and bounce while doing a disco for () sec

Instead of:

when green flag clicked 
move () steps 
if on edge, bounce 
forever
change [color v] effect by (25)
end

Thanks for asking!

If there is an easy workaround than it is not needed

very,… easy,… workarounds,… (cough)

-ShadowOfTheFuture-

I don't fully understand what you're trying to suggest here. Are you giving block suggestions? Or are you suggesting a way to “remix” existing blocks?

If you are suggesting the former, no support. All of those blocks have extremely simple workarounds and are too specific in what they do.

If you are suggesting the latter, we already have this. It's called custom blocks.

Apologies folks, this is Mozboz's mum typing - he's quite young and still learning how to use Scratch and hasn't previously ventured onto the forums. Thank you for your patience, I think from now on he's better off staying with scratching and commenting.

i mean, are you suggesting a new block or are giving examples of what to use with the “more blocks” tab?
if it was the first one then it has a really easy workaround, but if it was the latter then this is not the best place for that

The signature you were looking for was not able to load correctly. Please refresh the page.

Just want to say! It takes longer to code the blocks, so I think an already imported block is quicker.
So, yeah, I honestly want it already in. Hopefully this helps out, guys.

But doesn't this pretty much go against the idea of Scratch? I mean, the purpose of Scratch is to learn basic coding, and blocks like the ones you are suggesting ultimately take away from the coding aspect of Scratch…

Plus the workarounds don't really take much longer anyway…

Not sure if I completely understand, this is what I am getting from this:
You can remake, or merge blocks together somehow, to make one, new, simple block.

No Support for the following reasons:

This pretty much already exists, custom blocks.

You can do the same thing with custom blocks, you just need to define those custom blocks.

God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:17

Advice:
Saying “Support” or “No Support” doesn't contribute anything to the conversation.
A question that has already been answered doesn't need to be answered twice with the same answer - bring something new to the table.

I said why in my post that says it's quicker for it to already be there!
