Pause/Resume
Neva gonna happenOk let's get back on topic here:Yes. That is how I think it will work in scratch 3.0.
I think that when the person originally suggested this idea, they didn't mean a pause function in the code, but a pause button in the player that could pause the project while it was playing, and unpause it whenever. This may not be a good explanation, so here's a quick MS Paint mockup:
When clicked, the button pauses execution whereever it may be. When the button is clicked again, it unpauses, resuming the project where it was.
Now all I need is a time machine…

What you could do is use some variables that do not reset at the beginning of the project. That way, you could stop (as in the red octagon to the right of the green flag) the project, then start it again and continue where you left off.True… That seems like a good idea.
Thank you so much!

Hey, if you made it this far, you're a pretty dedicated siggy scroller.
Guess what? I'm a baker, dancer, Disney fan, enneagram lover, teen, who loves scratch, helping out in shops, and guiding new scratchers on their journey through scratch.
My sister is PFTV. If you don't know who she is, good luck finding her…
You know, you should really stop climbing down the stairs to my basement.

scimonster,It should be that when you pause, you may not interact at all with the Scratch project.
I understand, my concern is that pausing timers could create unintended consequences and potentially change the behavior of existing projects (or new ones created in 1.4).
Ie: a “trick” to beat a game that uses a timer, where you pause and then move things around, then hit resume. Or a strategy game that times your moves and you pause to think about it to avoid the timer expiring or losing points.
For the main post itself, so far, this is interesting. I can't really put my opinion out right now, since my mind is still thinking about it.

But… there are workarounds. Just add an if block to all scripts and add a pause button to the stageThe workarounds wouldn't work because you can't pause and resume sounds. Also, just because there are workarounds doesn't mean it isn't a vaild idea. This feature would allow you to stop any project without the creator of the project implementing this feature.

i think that pause should pause the timer, and let date/time continue, and let cloud variables continue because you literally can't pause them, that's not how the internet works
also, the pause blocks sound great
also, the pause blocks sound great
pause [enabled v] :: control
pause [disabled v] :: control // the pause button will be greyed out and not do anything
pause until <> :: control

I think this is a great idea if the creator could choose if it is available or not, that way any sort of animation or game that you could pause in would be able to choose if it is available while other projects could keep it disabled.

We just copy whatever BYOB does.Now it's called “snap!”, and it's just a more advanced version of scratch. the website is here.I would say pause everything.
What does BYOB do, BTW?

I will point out that forkphorus.github.io does this already, and runs Scratch projects rather nicely to boot, converting them into JavaScript.
As always, please be careful when exploring links and be sure that the websites that others link you to are safe, etc.

Bumping this up, as i wanted to suggest it.
I would really like this feature. If you're watching a long animation, or playing a big game, it'd be very nice to pause it instead of stopping it and redo it from beginning. After all, forkphorus.github.io has it, and snap.berkeley.edu too.
This button would also mean that this block should be added:
