Horizontal Blocks!

michaeljackson1365

Sorry, not supporting it because it may be a bit confusing, and I, as well as other Scratchers, would not know some blocks due to lack of text. However, it can be used to split scripts.

These blocks should have a hover note over them saying the block name too

No support either, it would be more confusing for current users that haven't used scratchjr I don't see and use for it

This is different from my Only Icons Blocks Suggestion!

Horizontal Blocks look better in my opinion bit there are none of them. So how is this on the Scratch Wiki?

There can be button to switch to them and we can use them. I know all the blocks since I became a Scratcher and I know it will be difficult for New Scratchers. So we can have the Vertical as default and we can switch to horizontal blocks.

Pls Don't Mention ScratchJr as you have told me about it. ScratchJr is different and Scratch is different. ScratchJr is a app and they some people not want to download it (like me). So pls don't mention ScratchJr, mention something different which is not in the Scratch Family. Also a WebSite

Edit : Added Also a WebSite to last paragraph (12:40 PM IST)

No, please not. Even the smallest scripts would be unreadable. And script organization? Impossible.
So, no support.

Support, this can help people who don't know how to read to be able to make scratch projects.

Sorry. I agree because it would:

Save space
A. In the case of a long, complicated script, this would shorten it and allow more room for the scratcher to focus on the present coding task.
B. When others look at that person's work, it simplifies the code and avoids large amounts of scrolling.
Look more attractive to others
A. When a Scratcher hits ‘See Inside,’ it would be more neatly presented to them, making it easier to understand.

Ah yes, coding games sidewards.
A. does not make sense- it would just make the code really long and unreadable. Also, did you hear of something called… operators?
How would you use join blocks?
And what about

if <> then 
else
end

?

Why do we need scratch to be more similar to the jr version?

because Little Timmy no like Scratch Jr, he want share and views.

Semi support.

The blocks look too simple in my opinion. Also just use Scratch Jr if you want sideways blocks.

On the other hand, it might make it a bit easier to read for some people, and might make transitioning from Scratch Jr a bit easier. And some people might like sideways better.

Horizontal blocks don't support reporters, how are they going to work in Scratch?

Dropdowns support varibles and reporters I think

Support.

By adding vertical blocks, a better experience for tablet and mobile users can be made, which is often the only device some kids have. This aligns with Scratch's goal of accessibility.
