I would love if the scratch team could ad following blocks:

***Video-Block***
With the Video Block a sprite can play a video from a website or from the ‘Videos’ section.

***print-Block***
With the print-Block you can print a text on a screen, so you dont need to use a text-font-engine.

***cloud-lists***
Scratch-Team, please activate cloud lists again!

***email-Block***
sents a email that can contain pictures, videos and text to a email-adress. DONT USE AS SPAM

***communicate-project-Block***
Can communicate with a published/not published project.
For example, i could ‘Download’ some Objects, functions and more from a other project - They not exist in the Object section, the downloaded objects just exist ‘viritually’.

***message-project-Block***
Sents a message to an other published Project.

Those are all the Blocks.
Do you know a webpage where you can collabrate with the MIT to help them programming new versions of scratch? Maybe scratch 2.3?
If you know, please answer.
If you like the idea, please follow me/the discussion.

Thanks for Supporting!

Video block: Yeah, support I guess.
Print block: Support.
Cloud lists: There's probably a good reason they took it away, though it would be nice.
Email block: No support, I see no reason why you should be e-mailed something and it seems like a GREAT way to spam people.
Communicate project block: Support.
Message project block: Isn't this the same thing?

thanks

This needs to be described in a bit more detail, but no support as it is now.

Meh. Cool idea, but needs a better name and lots of arguments.

***cloud-lists***
Scratch-Team, please activate cloud lists again!

The server isn't ready for the stress that would cause on it.

***email-Block***

Absolutely no support. Just because it says “DONT USE AS SPAM” doesn't mean people will listen. Besides, someone could make a spambot attack scratch that uses this block

***communicate-project-Block***
Can communicate with a published/not published project.
For example, i could ‘Download’ some Objects, functions and more from a other project - They not exist in the Object section, the downloaded objects just exist ‘virtually’.

I'm not sure what you're getting at at all.

***message-project-Block***
Sents a message to an other published Project.

How would this work?

ok then not support

I think these blocks should be added take a look
I will put lists on types of blocks

1.Mouse blocks

Hide mouse for () secs

 Show mouse for () secs

2.VR Blocks

Place block at X () Y () Z ()

Set mode [Online]

Turn camera by (RotY) (RotX) (RotZ)

I will do more edits soon!

when green flag clicked
forever
play sound [telling the scratch team that we want more extentions v]
end

Please do not post on old threads without contributing to the discussion. As for your suggestions, controling the mouse pointer and VR Scratch are rejected:

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:

1.10 “Control mouse pointer” block
This block, and others, could be used to hide the mouse pointer or change the way the mouse pointer looks in a project. These blocks, however, do not significantly change the types of projects that can be created with Scratch; for more information, see this post. In addition, they may cause confusion to users, wondering where the mouse pointer went. A feature to control the mouse pointer, including freezing it or preventing it from leaving the project screen, poses similar confusing problems.

hide mouse pointer :: looks

1.8 3D Scratch
This block, and others, could be used with a z-axis in the project stage to make it easier to create 3D projects. But, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. Adding 3D features would make the language more difficult for beginners to understand, and a 3D engine is not exactly the purpose of Scratch. This suggestion also includes the possibility for a virtual-reality features in Scratch, or “Scratch VR.” A lot of the same difficulties come up.

There is a similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG. You can also try Alice; it is not exactly like Scratch, but has some similar features.

go to x: () y: () z: () :: motion

As for the rest of the topic, lists of suggestions are no longer allowed in the Suggestions Forum.

Edit: I ninja'd someone!

Please make a new topic instead of necroposting, and 1 is rejected, and 2 isn't as easy as you think, they don't have a million different pre-made blocks ready to add with the press of a button.

Sorry, but

send email to [email@adress] subject [subject] email [email] :: sensing

is impossible.

1. Email Send
Who would send the email?
Just because you give the email, the ST cannot send E mails in your name - that would be really bad.
You could send very much spam and get never caught - just because it's not really you sending.

2. Spam
Imagine this:

forever
send email to [. . .] subject [Hello] email [world] :: sensing

Or even badder:

when green flag clicked
forever
broadcast [email v]
end

when I receive [email v] // run without screen refresh
forever
email
end


define email
forever
broadcast [email v]
email
end

Imagine the spam.
Just no.

Please use a separate topic for each new block idea so that the conversation doesn't get confused and each idea can be given the attention it deserves.

Before making new topics, please check the list of rejected topics and the list of previously suggested topics. Add to an existing topic, if there is one. Thanks!
