something helpful. There are many text engines out there, but would you expect a New Scratcher, or a beginner to write that many lines of code! And besides, those engines are very specific in what they do, and it would be hard to make it the way you want
draw text [] at x(), y() :: pen
set text color to [#156641] :: pen
set text font to [Donegal v] :: pen
set text size to () :: pen

This is a very vague description, if you want something that can draw text on your project you should search for “text engine” then take a look at your options.

here have a sprite
oh boy i get to link to my own project
Anyway, no support, there are enough people who've made text writers already, it's not really necessary in my opinion.

here have a spriteYes, but text writing can be difficult, and the scripts are hard to remember, and even though you can backpack them, it will take more than 1 script.

I see this useful in many purposes including showing a variables amount without showing the variable monitor.

IT would be EASIER for a little kid. I agree with @charles12310 because that's what scratch is for: Little Kids. We're just hanging out trying to find what is fun, so it is very necessary.
heres how the blocks should look like:

@DaEpikDude, Thats great and all, but first of all, thats going to be hard and people will consider that useless in other games. Cause they dont want to get all that code in their backpacks and if they hate the font they will have to replace every letter

I see this useful in many purposes including showing a variables amount without showing the variable monitor.
that's just to make your game look pretty, and making games “look pretty” is not a reason for me to support this.
And you don't HAVE to use text writing, you can use variables,
or use the
say []
block like this:
say [c]
wait (0.1) secs
say [ca]
wait (0.1) secs
say [cat]

My question is, why are people saying “I don't want all that code in my backpack” when you could just backpack the entire sprite?
You don't have to backpack each script and each costume individually.

Then why did you say in another topic that Scratch is about creativity? This is a suggestion that involves creativity, and yet you are saying that creativity in this case doesn't matter? And you think I have no other reasons why pen text blocks would be useful? It would be better than to have to use existing monitors that the editor can provide. Using the same thing isn't creativity. I'd rather do all the hard work then to do whatever's boring to me.here have a spriteYes, but text writing can be difficult, and the scripts are hard to remember, and even though you can backpack them, it will take more than 1 script.
