This would be super beneficial if you are playing a game and want to take a break. Most people are saying that you should code them yourself, but it's not like they CAN and WANT to do that. If a team of nerds can make a browser extension with the pause button, why not Scratch?

I get the pause project one, but resume project would never run if the project is paused! The second block is thus obsolete and I will color it as such.pause project :: control
resume project :: obsolete

How would you trigger a block in a project which isn't running? If any scripts are running while the project is paused then the pause button clearly hasn't done its job.It would un-pause the project if the project was pause.I get the pause project one, but resume project would never run if the project is paused!

I created a duplicate, and was brought here, so I'll just paste my OP from my topic:
Because the time and timer blocks are not stopped by the stop-sign they should not be stopped by the pause button and cloud data shoud finish sending, but everything thing else should be paused.
And for the
I do not support
Of course I support for reasons mentioned in my quote. I think it would be useful if you could pause and resume projects.
There are ways to program a project so it can be paused and resumed with the green flag and stop sign, but there is no way of the program remembering where in the script it was when it was stopped.
The easiest way to implant this is just to add a pause button between the green flag and the stop sign.Some Scratch mods already have this, so why not Scratch?

Screenshot from Snap!
Pros
- It would be a useful feature
- It would make it possible to have an official way to pause games without starting them over
- It should be pretty easy to implant
Cons
- I can't think of any at the moment, if I think of any I will add them
Because the time and timer blocks are not stopped by the stop-sign they should not be stopped by the pause button and cloud data shoud finish sending, but everything thing else should be paused.
And for the
Pause all::controlI support this, but it would be used mainly for debugging scripts (kind of like Snap!) You know, like automatically pausing a project at a certain place, so you can check variable values to see if it's working properly, then manually resuming it.
I do not support
Resume::controlBecause it logically won't work.

full support. I can't believe how helpfu;l this would be, and since I'm using a browser extension, the pausing clashes with the saving, so if this was made in Scratch then ti may not happen.
