I think you should make a block, which when you type something in it. The text will be displayed on the screen. Kind of like the say block, except without the circle. This is also similar to the text(“Hello World”,200,200); in javascript

Although this would be easier. You can just put the text there through backdrops.

It looks better. Its more proffesional also. In real games I don't hink there is a orange border displaying your high score. ALso it takes a really long time to make a program which can display text like that. (hours for me)
those are my reasons
Thank you for asking

Maybe you can find someone else's project and take their assets with credit so you don't have to spend hours creating this, but we can't add every little feature. What we have right now covers a lot and I think this suggestion is a bit too similar to the say and think blocks and the variable counter.

I agree, I guess scratch is mainly about learning anyway.

Mabye instead of it being a main block, it could be an addon, like the pen tool.

Don't worry, everyone gets better with time. I'm sure that there are lots of excellent text engines out there.

I also think that there should be a text block because many programs already use it. It doesn't have to be a block, it can be an add on. Like the pen tool, it can decrease repetitive work and increase time for creativity. This will make things easier and more fun. This is comparable to the industrial revolution, if something gets easier you can spend more time and improving other things.
