Yup, that is exactly why.

Yes, but using an atomic function is stupid, if you could wrap your single 1-line loop in a block instead.

I support, it would be useful, but the “all at once” block was removed because of the “Run Without Screen Refresh”
But, it took me a while to even start using these custom blocks, let alone start using the Run Without Screen Refresh, because I wasn't sure what it meant. So I believe it could save a LOT of confusion.

(Sorry, that was supposed to bump the discussion to the front page, but I guess it doesn't do any good now since no one is really interested in a block that does things all at once)

Bump.

What does that even mean?

No support, just use a custom block without screen refresh

define w/out screen refresh - move 10 steps // without screen refresh
move (10) steps

Couple of joke ideas

incredible speed ::  control cstart
    
end

tardis :: grey cstart

end

run :: control cstart
    
at [Sanic Speed! v] :: cend

It wouldn't make sense to make extra custom blocks for actions that need to be performed at once. Say that you had a lot of scripts that needed to be run once because they take too long. You would have to make lots of custom blocks without screen refresh, which is inconvenient.

Yeah, but this is inconvenient in some cases.

I support

The whole point of this idea is to not have to do that.

run :: control cstart

That. Is. Brilliance.

I think, that if this block is ever implemented, it should have that name.

at SANIC SPEED!!!!!!!::control cstart
end

You know what would make this not necessary and also be used for other things?
Lambdas.

define run {block} at screen refresh
run {block :: custom} :: control

//then you would just run

run {move (10) steps} at screen refresh

run {move (10) steps} at screen refresh

But then you could just do

run {block :: motion} :: control

but that purple block would be a “screen refresh” block.

Yes, okay, that makes sense.

I'm in full support of lambdas, they look like this in Snap/BYOB:

run {{pen down} :: grey ring} :: control
