I was wondering if Scratch could have an option to do coding with blocks or written. I'm asking for this because what if Scratchers want a more challenging way to code? Please consider added this, thank you! (Sorry if I keep giving you bad ideas)

Sorry, rejected:

2.2 Text-based coding in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or for teachers.

One amazing thing about block-based programming is that syntax errors largely do not exist. Text-based programming would introduce syntax errors which younger users might not understand.

This suggestion extends to coding Scratch in any text, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch.

okay, I'll close this when I can.

You can try Tosh instead: https://tosh.blob.codes

Could you make an updated version of Tosh because it's extremely deprecated and needs updating, @sheep_maker?

I think it's good, because you can type code instead of putting it in.
For example, a beat pad script every time you press the green flag:
when flag clicked
set size to 100 %
move 1 + 9 steps
turn cw 30 + 60 degrees
repeat 2
change size by 10
end
change size by -10
