New scratch updates!
I like to scratch and sometimes I think that scratch needs to be updated. Anyone can post scratch updates that they want!
1. I would like it if scratch would make a collaboration project. a project where 2 scratchers or more can work on.
2. Sprites to go outside of the screen and still be read.
3. For the code to have the option of showing the javascript version. it is still the same code but it shows up in Javascript.
These are just some of the updates that I would like to have. what would you guys wish to have on scratch?

I think this would belong in the suggestions forum.

New scratch updates!
The first and third suggestion (this is not where you should suggest things) are rejected:
As for the second suggestion, I suggest that you make your own topic for it in the suggestions.
Adding users to work on projects
This would be difficult to moderate not only due to technological limitations, but also because it could lead to private messaging; for more information, see #7.1 on this list. This suggestion includes live editing (similar to Google Docs) and other forms of private collaboration. If you would like to work on a project with another Scratcher, you can remix each others' projects.
Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or for teachers. One amazing thing about block-based programming is that syntax errors largely do not exist. Text-based programming would introduce syntax errors which younger users might not understand, and may distract students from learning the Scratch language.
This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch.
For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language which serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.
As for the second suggestion, I suggest that you make your own topic for it in the suggestions.

New scratch updates!
Hey there! Its great that you're coming up with ideas on how to improve Scratch! However, please make a separate topic for each suggestion (in the Suggestions forum) - so each one gets the attention it needs.
Before making a new suggestion, though, please check out the following:
Thanks!
Before making a new suggestion, though, please check out the following:
- List of Rejected Suggestions. If your suggestion is on the list, then please don't suggest it as it won't be implemented.
- The Suggestions Directory. If your suggestion is on the list, then please continue the discussion in the existing topic (there will be a link to it) rather than making a new thread.
Thanks!
