i really wish there were new blocks… but i think they may ruin scratch. and i hope i make this discussion in the right category, sorry. one of the blocks i would like, is a block that you can put multiple blocks inside, so it all happens at once.

What are these new blocks?

im not sure what you mean, sorry.

I wish there were new blocks, but what new blocks. We can't judge your suggestion without a suggestion.

like a block that you can have two blocks in, like
get it?

oh sorry, the symbols didnt work… i can illustrate it…

What would the block do?

We have join for connecting two strings.

Could you explain?

Maybe they're suggesting a block similar to custom blocks? I think they want to join multiple blocks in one block.

exactly, a block that has one space on one side for a block to go inside, and another on the other side, so when the code gets to that block, it will do both blocks at the same moment.

You can use custom block's “Run without screen refresh” feature for two or more blocks to run pretty much at once.

okay, thanks. scratchers are really nice and helpful. it makes me happy to see that.

Well, I think he/she means this:

Run simultaneously {
next costume
move (10) steps
} :: control

But I think this will also be useful:

Run simultaneously (5) times at a (1) second interval {
next costume
move (10) steps
} :: control

As if there is a wait block in there, it'd run at the same time as the other blocks voiding the block. However, I don't see if scripts working well in this suggested block.

If you put them in separate scripts, I'm pretty sure they run at the same time.

This would be move convienent and will save script space.

Just use custom blocks with “run without screen refresh”.

define run simultaneously (amount) times at a (seconds) second interval
repeat (amount)
...
wait (seconds) secs
end

Just make sure it is set to run with no screen refresh.

You could also store multiple scripts per a custom block like;

define run (script) simultaneously (amount) times at a (seconds) second interval
if <(script) = [Change color]> then
repeat (amount)
change [color v] effect by (25)
wait (seconds) secs
end
end
if <(script) = [Move and change size]> then
repeat (amount)
change x by (5)
change size by (1)
wait (seconds) secs
end
end
if <(script) = [Move and change costume]> then
repeat (amount)
change x by (5)
next costume
wait (seconds) secs
end
end
...

that seems kinda complex

It just a repeat and wait block, then the blocks you already had that should run at once.
