Make Gobo, Giga, Pico, Nano have more memorizable names

kentkoide

Hello. Giga, Gobo, Pico, Nano, hard to memorize names for those who are new to scratch. My example is to call those sprites, fantasy 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on and so forth.

to view scratch 1.x versions : archive.glitch.pizza (I have no idea why it got the name pizza) and u can also view pre-releases of it, cool

play sound [Soviet March ]
go to [scratchstats.org ]
if <(kumquat) = (near?) > then
kill all the kumquats in the universe
inform everybody about the death about the evil kumquats

Those would be less memorable as they’re just numbers- Gobo, Giga, Pico, and Nano are very simple once you’ve seen them enough.

No. Would you ever rename Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse? They are the Donalds and Mickeys of Scratch.

Well, then just name it like monster 1 2 3 4 and so on and so forth.

So you saying then we COULD turn Mickey into Mouse 1, Minnie to Mouse 2, etc? Because no one will ever remember those.

Yes.

So naming Pico, for example, Monster 1 would be MORE memorable than Pico. +all the names for them are based off of units of measurement which is just so cool.

Personally, I don’t see why it’s important that new scratchers need to memorize these mascots’ name.

Hello Scratch Team. You have been pushing a liberal political agenda on this site for far too long. This site should stay out of politics. People should be able to still post their political opinions, but there shouldn’t be any “official” political stance or Scratch. The ST is not going to change this on their own, and shoot down any attempts asking them to change. Please put this in your signature if you agree that

Scratch should be politically neutral.

The ST’s biggest defense is that they’re being welcoming, but they can be perfectly welcoming of all people and stay out of politics. Scratch is about coding, and that should be the Scratch Team’s biggest concern to maintain.

This is my signature. I am allowed to adertize here.

But younger people who use scratch may not know what's even a unit of measurement.

If they’re using a computer and around the target age of Scratch, they will probably be able to figure it out, since computers often use these prefixes.

That doesn’t answer my question -_-

Just because people might not know their names doesn’t mean they are meaningless.

Why the heck would we do that?

Do you have a grudge against the mascots? Did they steal your Cheezits? What happened that made you decide they should be renamed or removed?

Because everyone is gonna memorize numbers, right?

And why would anyone want to memorize that? At least the names now are fun. Monster 1, 2, 3, and 4? You just sucked a good bit of fun from the website.

Yes they do. In the names of the sprites in the sprite library.
