I support, I guess. It could be used for a loading bar.

In the 1.4 version of Scratch, if you search through the source code (which is in a language called Squeek), you will find traces of an experimental “stretch” block! However, it was never in any of the officially released versions that I have used. I can only assume that it was decided that it was too confusing - or not useful enough - to earn a permanent place in the block pallet. Which is too bad as it would be very helpful for certain kinds of visual effects.

Part of what makes Scratch so easy to learn and such a great first language is it's simplicity. Every new block that is added makes it a bit more complex - so new blocks are added only after long consideration.

No Support as per this.

change stretch [horizontal v] effect by (25)
change stretch [vertical v] effect by (25)
set stretch [horizontal v] effect by (25)%
set stretch [vertical v] effect by (25)%
clear stretch [horizontal v] effect
clear stretch [vertical v] effect

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [vertical v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [horizontal v] size to (100) % :: looks

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks
change [vertical v] size by (100) :: looks
change [horizontal v] size by (100) :: looks

[vertical v] size :: looks reporter
[horizontal v] size :: looks reporter

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks

Is the same as

set [vertical v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [horizontal v] size to (100) % :: looks

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks

Is the same as

change [vertical v] size by (100) :: looks
change [horizontal v] size by (100) :: looks

So, if vertical size was 100%, horizontal size was 200%, and I changed all size by 100%, vertical size would be 200% and horizontal size would be 300%.

set size to (100) %

Would be:

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks

change size by (100)

Would be:

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks

(size)

Would be:

[vertical v] size :: looks reporter

I'd support, if instead of the blocks being this:

change stretch [horizontal v] effect by (25)
change stretch [vertical v] effect by (25)
set stretch [horizontal v] effect by (25)%
set stretch [vertical v] effect by (25)%
clear stretch [horizontal v] effect
clear stretch [vertical v] effect

Maybe, they were instead something like this:

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [vertical v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [horizontal v] size to (100) % :: looks

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks
change [vertical v] size by (100) :: looks
change [horizontal v] size by (100) :: looks

([vertical v] size)
([horizontal v] size)

If you are wondering what the ‘all’ is for, it will be the default in the dropdown menu, and here is how it works. In code,

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks

Is the same as

set [vertical v] size to (100) % :: looks
set [horizontal v] size to (100) % :: looks

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks

Is the same as

change [vertical v] size by (100) :: looks
change [horizontal v] size by (100) :: looks

So, if vertical size was 100%, horizontal size was 200%, and I changed all size by 100%, vertical size would be 200% and horizontal size would be 300%.

And some blocks would have to be automatically replaced so projects don't get broken by having blocks that don't exist anymore in them. Here are the ones that would be replaced:

set size to (100) %

Would be:

set [all v] size to (100) % :: looks

change size by (100)

Would be:

change [all v] size by (100) :: looks

(size)

Would be:

([vertical v] size)

Anyway, that's my idea. Also… shaymin, if you use this give me credit.

Set (all v) Size to (100)%
Change (all v) Size by (100)

Set (all v) Size to (100)%
Change (all v) Size by (100)

are already blocks! Therefore, they don't need to be added,

That is the point! If we just remove the set and change size blocks, then what will we use to replace them? We WILL need to replace them with a block that does the exact same thing, or any project that used those blocks will not work because the blocks don't exist anymore!
