1000th Post!!!

there are no duplicates afaik
Weather Extensions and all different suggestions like that are being suggested, but what about a Sports Extensions?

They would report scores from real-life games. This could be useful to make live scoreboards or accurate games.

List of supported sports:

• Football
  
• Soccer
  
• Basketball
  
• Tennis
  
• Volleyball
  
• Hockey
  
• Cricket
  
• Racing (F1, NASCAR, etc)
  
• Etc.
  

Here are the blocks:

set sport to [sport v]::extension //Sets the sport you want and changes the team dropdown

(☁[team v] score::extension //Reports the team's score (If valid sport is chosen)

<[team v] playing?::extension> //Reports if the team is playing

<[game v] clock::extension> //Reports the game's clock (If valid sport is chosen)

<[game v] period/quarter::extension> //Reports the game's period/quarter (If valid sport is chosen)

<[game v] lap::extension> //Reports the race's laps  (If valid sport is chosen)

Please suggest more blocks as I have lost ideas.

you can do this with some variables and broadcasted messages

Yeah, but I'm not gonna spend my day manually updating the points or hack Scratch to do it automatically.

Semi support, I'm not sure why someone would use this but it'll still be cool.

that's the purpose of cloud variables

I know, but I have to do it manually or hack it do it automatically.

Sounds like an API suggestion, correct?

I won't support, because I don't see a real use for it. OP, could you please include an example of when this would be useful for Scratch Projects?

It could be useful to have an accurate game like switching the characters in a game to a team that is playing that day. It could also be used as a scoreboard. There are more possibilities but I have to make more ideas for blocks.

wouldn't cloud variables keep the points. you could always do

if <touching [Goal v] ?> then
change [Points] by (1)
end

Or am I not understanding what you're talking about

No no no, I believe they're talking about live-updating sports statistics, like so:

set sport to [basketball v] :: pen
([Minnesota Timberwolves v] score :: pen)
<[Minnesota Timberwolves v] playing? :: pen>

The licensing side of things may be tricky

As someone who does not care for such things as “sporting entertainment” and “physical activity” I am indifferent to the suggestion, but I will note that I think a weather extension is more useful than this because the weather sort of fills the entire sky and stuff.

Oh ok I see no need for this

Better graphics:

set sport to [sport v]::sensing


(☁[team v] score::sensing)

<[team v] playing?::sensing>

Anyways, I support as long as this doesn't take up too much space in servers. I see a lot of awesome things that could be made out of this and I see no reason not to implement it.

If its an extension, it should be green like all other colors

Ok, well I guess I'll change it.

I don't see much use for this.
A weather extension would have more use, so people can make games where it rains in the game when it rains in real life.

But I don't see the need for that. You could make a real time TV, a game simulator, an app in a phone, and much more.

I don't support, because then scratch needs to have live sport and it'll probably lag a lot. I think that a weather extension will be more useful, because then you can have weather in games at the same time. Is there any use of this even? Maybe if you want live sports but there is that on other places anyway.
