Categorize variables

Monniasza_spzoo

It will categorization of variables and lists e.g.

Lists
Nodes

node x
node y
snap x
snap y
snap occupied
free snaps
unused snaps
x offsets
y offsets
targets
holders

Variables
Physics

x accel
y accel
z accel
yaw speed
pitch speed
roll speed
x speed
y speed
z speed

Do you mean this?

You have, for example, 20 variables in a project. 8 of them are your stats, 8 of them are opponent's stats, and the other two are used to keep track of whose turn it is and how many turns have already been played. You'll create three categories: “player stats”, “opponent stats”, and “other”, and they will be somehow separated to make them easier to find.

The message above may contain wrong information, rude remarks, or something embarrassing to my current self. In this case, please ignore it and remember that I likely wrote it back when I didn't know what “respect” truly meant. I really hate thinking about it again.

Support, this could help make variables more organized.

A lot of variables in a project could make it harder to sort through them, and something like this could really help make things easier. (Personally, I use a system of “tags” where I put a bracketed letter (like "[P]“ for ”player") at the beginning of a variable name to note what category it belongs to.)

I still use tags and variables are still badly organized.
It should include hash-nested lists, treemaps, hashtables, nested lists and regular lists.

Absolutely support. Any project that is complex enough contains a large number of variables, and categories would clean them up and make it easier to see what each of the variables is doing.

Workaround: Create comments in a tutorial sprite to explain what each variable in custom blocks and blocks do.
Pros: Able to easily sort variables out.
Cons: Because of the way variables are made, this will break all projects, both unshared and shared, because of the way variables are already stored in the project.json file inside the .sb3 file (you must change it to .zip first to access it)

Inspired by coder2045—which, in turn, got inspired by Mr_PenguinAlex.
What's wrong with these blocks? There are zero mistakes because no round has started yet. Beware that some of the mistakes don't relate to the Scratch blocks below.

Be the first to comment all of the mistakes on my profile correctly and you'll get a love! You can't comment any mistakes right now because there are none!
