This has not officially been rejected by the Scratch Team.

Everyone is saying that Scratch is about coding; not animating. Unless you're doing some form of stop-motion or claymation (both of which are rare on Scratch), then animating is coding.

OP: Could you please clarify? What would be the difference between Animation Mode and ‘regular’ mode?

Currently, animation on scratch depends on coding. What the OP is suggesting is a movie/animation making tool, which doesn't quite fit the coding aspect of Scratch.

You may be completely misunderstanding the post, though. How do you know this is what they were suggesting?

This suggestion is REJECTED. Please don't make an already rejected suggestion in the future.
No support because, Scratch is about coding, not about animating.
You can code your own animations. You can't suggest an option to turn animation mode on.

Support, It Would Be Easer To Animate Because Coding Is Not All

Just say “No support”. It'll look better than this.

No support, Scratch is a coding website not a movie maker. Just use a different website and upload it to youtube or something.

Can you please provide a link to the thread or a quote for TOLORS.

You do not have the power to reject a suggestion. This is not rejected like you believe it to be, and you can very well suggestion an animation mode.

In my opinion this should be implemented, as it engages creativity, also Scratch is not just about coding
(Support :3)

And coding encourages even more creativity

The thing is, scratch is a programming language, not blender.

Nowhere in the website does it confirm scratch is just a coding website and only for coding. If so, the animations tab in explore wouldn't exist. In the about page, it says scratch is about learning and sharing.

Did you know… that most forms of animation require programming?

That doesn't mean scratch is solely a coding website

Scratch is, however, an educational site. Would an animation mode teach kids more than the normal editor? I wouldn't think so, but then again, I wouldn't know, because no one seems to want to elaborate on what an animation mode would do and how it'd be different. Additionally, the script for animations really depend on how you're animating. I feel like both ways would teach more than having a specific mode dedicated to it. Not to mention that if an animation mode gets accepted, then what about a game mode? Or an drawing mode? I don't understand why we would need to split the editor when we can already create these things with our current editor.

And if you're doing that, then just do

when green flag clicked
set [fps v] to (30) // change this if you need
switch costume to [costume1 v]
run animation ::custom

define run animation 
// run without screen refresh
forever
wait ((1) / (fps)) secs
next costume
end

No support because Scratch is a website where you learn to program, not to animate.

Support, I hate blocks.

Animation maybe a common thing, but is not an important aspect of scratch. Scratch is not an animation software, it is scratch. Imagine, Program, Share. You code. Animation doesn’t matter as much as coding, besides is the “next costume” code that hard?
