On the website:

Insert metadata into contact us message template
New Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
More links in the footer
Lots of backend changes to speed up site and improve user experience!
Fixes for problems related to the explore page that caused slowdowns

Edit: We also made changes to the way view counts are stored. These require us to move a lot of data around. While it's moving, the counts will be low - but don't worry, they'll catch back up again as soon as it's done.

Scratch On!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Awesome dude! I would recommend (Obviously in a future update) more colors in the editor. I have Inkscape and Gimp. Inkscape is vector, with lots of colors. Gimp is bitmap with lots of colors. Inkscape would be great for making colorful and nice sprites with all the colors. But Inkscape images must be exported as a bitmap file. This makes the use of Inkscape, well, useless. So in a nutshell, I would recommend adding new colors to the editor, maybe make it kinda like Gimp's color selector, where it has lots of colors that you can select by simply moving a circle to match the shade you would like. Because not only would that make Scratch a better programming language, it would make Scratch a better drawing program. I haven't thoroughly thought this idea through quite yet, but this is not just requested on the spot, I have been wanting this for a while. Because I love to draw. I didn't know anywhere I could post this, so I figured the Updates forum would be a fitting spot to put this. I would love to help design and plan because as a regular Scratcher, I see things from a regular Scratcher's perspective. I think the Scratch team could really make Scratch better than it already is. I know since this is major, it might be better to wait, or put it in a future version of Scratch. Like Scratch 2.1 or even 2.2. I can wait, as long is it happens! If any Scratch team member reads this, tell them to leave a comment on my profile or quote this, to tell me what they think.

when [c v] key pressed
switch costume to [5 v]
go to x: (0) y: (0) (actual coordinates)
wait (10) secs
glide (1) secs to x: (250) y: (250) (not actual coordinates)

Its gliding instantly instead of in 10 secs.!

code bug:

when [t v] key pressed
set x to (0)
set y to (0)
clear
if <<(size) = [10]> or <(size) < [10]>> then
set size to (100) %
end
if <<(size) = [-10]> or <(size) < [-10]>> then
set size to (100) %
end

That's the bug.

p

How is that a bug?
