"bar" variable display

option to display variables as a bar with an adjustable minimum and maximum. Maybe they can just add an option to make the already existing slider not adjustable if the other thing is too much?

Yes but workaroundable =/= shouldn't be added, and again, this is like a slider you can't adjust

Why does Scratch exist?
Aren’t there tutorials on how to use JavaScript?

why did you compare this to using tutorials for Javascript?
Aren't there tutorials on how to make games by the literal ST?
wouldn't you watch a tutorial for JavaScript just so you can understand the basics?
The same goes for scratch.

Why would you use tutorials and workarounds a s a reason an addition shouldn’t be added?

So, they won’t implement whats workaroundable when they cover it in their tutorials?

So, skip past Scratch.

So, making fairly advanced stat bars is basic?
3d is basic, to, huh?

Depends on who you ask, so, hey, 3d is easy. Right? I mean, there are tutorials for it.

Dowz wrote:

You suggested a tutorial, likely as a reason not to add.

Thats not what I meant. I was referencing what Scratch is based off

Name every use of
(() mod (0))
Go.
That’s what I thought. This is more usable than half the other blocks.
The uses have been clearly defined. Read my post.

Read this: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/215499/
#5 and 6 in particular.
workarounds aren’t a valid reason to not support. They are, but the ST will ignore that point.
Everything can be worked around.
Name one reason this shouldn’t be added aside from the workaround.

Read. The. Post. Thats not a reason to not support. It’s not an easy workaround, you have to manually draw each costume. Besides, variables can be worked around so should we remove them in general? I mean, lists work. Or vise versa.
Easy is subjective. 3d is easy to me, so build me a full 3d raytracer cloud game in the next hour without a tutorial, prove that it’s an easy workaround without needing a tutorial.
If you need a tutorial for a workaround, its a terrible workaround.

None of these have a good workaround.
