Changing the entire default function of a block would ruin projects; adding a feature that does not change the default function (of a block) wouldn't ruin them.

Wao how is that possible

Uh Squidward? Yes Spongebob? You might want to look at this… HOLY SHRIMP! If we don't act now, well, think about how many clams I'll have to cough up JUST to see an extra portion of nick.com… or worse, to see ALL of it in general! *** Reader! This is not a fictional sketch! It actually is, but that's not the point. Learn more at the link that Spongebob left at the first instance of “this”.

I'm not sure what you mean. Whether or not run w/o screen refresh and run in seperate thread are mutually exclusive this doesn't change the default function of a block.

Can you verify that this is true? This hasn't even been implemented so we can't be sure that you are true. Besides, I do not see how this would ruin projects.

A few internet communication companies want to corrupt the internet by getting rid of net neutrality. Stop Them!

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

Support! Many processes may be run separately or simultenously (including physics+graphics).

If a feature request isn't rendered obsolete by outside circumstances (i.e. a nearly identical feature being added), it's not a necropost, as far as I'm aware.

As for the feature itself, full support from me. This would be very useful to have one sprite handle multiple tasks. (The only workaround I can think of would be making clones, but that just causes slowdown, since the clone inherits all of the sprite's behavior, instead of just the relevant stuff.)

I occasionally do things.

Bump.

Ever since the “do while doing” E block was rejected, I think this will be a better alternative to having multiple scripts run at once.

Basically something not needing to wair for another thing for it to run.

I support it by 60% but it just make things harder how can you check whether a script is asynchronous or not should i be looking into the make block. But why not rather make 2 scripts rather than complicating scratch but still i it is good to not wait so that it has better execution in some cases.

This 100% needs to be a thing, going from Scratch to Javascript Canvas and back is a HUGE difference. I love that I can run two functions at the same time with promises in javascript with no issues and no lag behind on either end. Yet when I come back, I always throw away projects because of the lag on things that are supposed to go to a moving object. PLEASE MAKE THIS A THING!!! I am starting to think that making my own easy javascript engine is necessary because most of them either confuse me, don't work properly, lack documentation, or are locked by my school because apparently they are proxies. I want to continue with making cool fun easy games( that no one plays but that is ok. you don't get famous overnight. Also it's really hard to get a consistent visitor or even visitors at all.) but I can't because of these issues angering me. Anyways, I hope they fix this.
