On profiles, I think you should be able to share just sprites. This would make it easier to share art, and maybe starter code as well. It would then be much easier to get art for a project, as there could be another option when you search, saying ‘sprites’. Another thing that might be implemented is a small box underneath the ‘credits’ section of projects, which would show who the art is from. (please tell me if someone else has already suggested this)

you can make a sprite pack on a scratch project

Couldn't you just share the sprite in a project? This seems like a needless feature since it can be easily worked around. Also, how many projects are there for just sprites? Why do games not get there own project type? With automatic credit, you should be putting credit in notes and credits anyway and putting credits in manually actually shows you genuinely respect the other persons work.

Actually I sort of agree with this, it could be interesting to have a sprite library thing full of user-generated sprites, after all, scratch is about sharing and taking ideas from others and building upon them, having a system to share sprites or code could work if implemented right

I'm surprised this hasn't been considered, but just to clarify, would there be a report sprite button (considering the Community Guidelines)?

Exactly! Especially if you wanted to make a retro platformer on Scratch (using bitmap graphics, of course).

What about storage space? That seems mildly important

You could tell people to click see inside then have them add the sprite or piece of code to their backpack. (The backpack is shown at the bottom of the screen when editing a project)

Projects can be created infinitely. What about storage space?
Sprites take up less space than a whole project, and having a page where you can take some to put into your project (with credit, of course) would be awesome.

Yes, there would be a report button, and the reason why I don't think people should use projects as art packs is because if you just wanted to share 1 sprite or backdrop then it takes up more space, and when you search for a game, you may just get art that has been shared as a project.

The filter on the search screen would be like the ‘projects’ and ‘studios’ tabs.
