Add the community blocks to Scratch 3.0 as an extension

red_king_cyclops

A long time ago, a feature called “Community blocks” was going to be added to Scratch, but the feature was never added and was forgotten. You can read about it here.

The Scratch Team should add the community blocks to Scratch 3.0 as a default extension.

Dunno, it might make an interesting extension, but I don't think it's high on the ST's priority list.

The community blocks aren't really that much of an important feature, so that's why I'm suggesting them to be added as a default extension.

Support, even though they might be used for bullying.

I have about 3450 posts, 90 shared projects, 180 total created/followed topics, and 425 followers.

Support, could see uses for this as using ID's to store users for preferences and settings, and other API's are useful.

Huge support. Because Scratch is all about the community, why not add what the community wants as an extension?

They can be used, for example, to detect if the user is following someone:

set [follower? v] to (0)
for each user [following v] [Beamy68] {
    if <([username v]  of user :: custom) = (username)> then
        set [follower? v] to (1)
    end
} :: custom
if <(follower?) = [1]> then
...
else
...

couldn't you use this to make projects that only work if you are following someone?

Yeah, and you could also make it so that you can only view the project if you have loved/faved the project, or followed the creator/creator's friends. This could be cool, but the costs outweigh the benefits.

I also make intros on request!

I'd say that the blocks involving followers are rejected, as per 1.5 on this list. I'll hold off on closing this, though, because it appears to me that there are more blocks than just ones involving followers.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

if you look at the pdf, it looks like the username block was originally a community block? but the username sensing block is also in the pdf. hmm.

looks like the about me and the country the user chooses can also be sensed by the blocks. using this, you could make a mini profile type thing in a project. neat.

edit: oops, forgot to put pdf link. more links in the topic linked in the OP too
