The encouragement block will make the sprite say an encouraging message, as well as the block itself. This is good to keep you motivated!!! It's also good for projects in general. Also it's less stupid than the OOPS block.

encouragement::operators

⚠ warning: any discussion on the OOPS! block is now considered off-topic. (7/24/2023) ⚠

What? What is the Oops block?
You can use the say blocks to send encouragement.

say [Hey friend. It's okay. Just cheer up.]

Easy workaround

1. Make a list full of encouraging phrases.

2.

when I receive [encouragement v]
say (item (pick random (1) to (length of [encouragement v] :: list)) of [encouragement v] :: list)

This script will choose a random item of the list, then says the item.

I am not willing to do the work around so usually I would just give up. But if I had the encouragement block I would be happy.

Why not just use item random?
Also, maybe it shouldn’t be a whole block..

Maybe it would make more sense as a reporter?

say (encouragement ::sensing)

Also, why would it be an operator?

I have a feeling this is too ambiguous for scratch(am I using the right words?)

You can easily make your own. No support.

The oops block

OOPS!

is a block that plays 1 random swear word. Yup, it's very stupid. (This is just clarification)

Yeah, we (definitely) don't need the OOPS! block, but don't need an encouragement block. The block does not know the context in which it is being used, therefore giving strange results (i.e: “Good Job!” When you are dying in a game). I would recommend using the workaround, as it is incredibly simple. No support.

BAM-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZLED
My goodness, I am so sorry.
There is no “item random” in Scratch 3.
—————————————————————————————————————-
To be honest, I feel this is something we don't need to leave to the Scratch Team. Couldn't you create this yourself?

Nope, the ST will definitely not add the OOPS! block. And the encouragement block can be simply replicated by copy and pasting from an external site like this one (note to ST - i am not a bot account advertising this one site, this is just an example of one of the many sites out there that have the purpose of random inspirational quotes)

That no longer exists in 3.0

Very easy workaround:

say [insert your own words of encouragement here :)]

Is this supposed to imply that there is also a speech bubble coming from the block? That seems sort of weird.

I mean, I guess it’s like a reporter block but it’s a stack block??

This is going to be really bad since scratch does not allow you to say or hear swear words in the site. So this is definitely a no go 100%.

Don't think item random is a block

Edit it was already said
