Suggestion for the if <> then block (25+ support, 3 semi, 1 no)

I see what you're trying to say, but if you want to compare two things *fairly* you can't just pick two completely different cases for them, right?

So this:

if(boolean_expression)
{
	statement
}
else if(boolean_expression)
{
	stetement
}
else if(boolean_expression)
{
	stotement
}
else
{
	stoshment
}

Would look like this:

if <> then
else    
if <> then
else    
if <> then
else    
end
end
end

And that's pretty easy to read, right?

Charmind

maybe this can be new block named switch, not if <> then?
Support

switch(variable) default::control cstart
(1)::control celse
(2)::control celse
(3)::control cend

it works that:

if (variable) = (1):: cstart control
...::grey
else if (variable) = (2)::celse
...::grey
else if (variable) = (3)::celse
...::grey
else::clese
default::grey
::cend

Yeah but I think this should be added to the if/else block, not the if. It's closer to modern programming languages:

if (a) {
  
} else if (b) {
  
} else if (c) {
  
}

Sure.

when <true ::operators Boolean> ::sensing hat
repeat until <this suggestion accepted? ::extension> ::grey cstart
bump ::custom
bump it again ::motion
bump it {{a lot of ::variables stack}::looks ring} times ::pen
goto {bump ::custom stack} ::control cap
end ::cend

Sorry, I was bored.

That's a good suggestion, support! :: pen
But how do you do that? :: motion

Do what?

Oh, and thank you for the support!

This would be useful, support!

How do you make the C block have like 12 thingies, and not one like this? :: motion
forever
    
end

end

this is the beginning of a loop :: cstart

this is the middle :: celse

this is another part of the middle :: celse

this is the end :: cend

this is the beginning of a loop :: cstart

this is the middle :: celse

this is another part of the middle :: celse

this is the end :: cend

Support. It's like this:

when I receive [game started v]
if <...>
custom block :: custom
else if <...> :: celse
...
else
...

How would it be confusing?

I support! It's much better than calling it “elif”. I'm not sure about the wording on the item in the right-click menu though. How about “insert condition” or something?

Support, but the block should always have an else block at the end:

if <> then :: cstart control
... :: grey 
else if  <> then  :: celse
... :: grey
else :: celse
... :: grey

end
