Hello! As you can probably tell from the title, this topic is about some scratch addons that i am making. The addons are very simple and this list will get updated often. Most of the addons can be added to a scratch mod without any consequences and have been tested with Scratch 1.4. Feel free to post your own addons and report any bugs.

In order to use the addons, you must first install the installer. It is quite simple. Instructions (borrowed from nXiii's Scratch Patches):
Step 1: Open Scratch
Step 2: Press and hold the “shift” key while clicking the loop of the “R” in the Scratch logo
Step 3: Select “turn fill-screen off” from the popup menu which shows up
Not showing up? Make sure you're clicking inside the loop of the “R”; the “logo” referred to is the one in the top-left corner.
Step 4: Click anywhere in the “white space” which shows up at the bottom and right sides of the window
Step 5: Select “open…” from the popup menu
Step 6: Select “workspace” from the subsequent popup menu
Step 7: Copy the following text and paste it into the textbox-like window by clicking the “-” button above the scrollbar (appears when the mouse is over the “workspace” window) and selecting “paste (v)”
