I think that adding a block that tells a sprite to point towards a certain (x,y) position. It would make easier to make tower defense games and it would make some projects require less sprites which could reduce lag.

There's a workaround for this, but it's not necessarily that simple or easy to guess for newcomers.

I've always wanted this too, because it would be practical to manipulate and easy to understand. Support!

I agree that Scratch should add the X and Y positions (of the mouse) back into each project.

(mouse x)(mouse y)

You could post the said suggestion in a separate topic. The Scratch Team didn't have time to add all the features because they built 3.0 from Scratch, and should come soon.

As for the original suggestion, I believe the workaround is to create a sprite and use distance to (…) block. The block could save a sprite.

um… am I late? because

<(mouse x) and (mouse y)>

exist.

In any case, I agree that something like

point towards x: () y: () :: motion

would be an improvement.

(point towards x: () y: () :: motion)
