Although it would be convenient to not always have to make a custom block for it…

I personnaly consider using

define script

and then

(script :: custom stack)

is still a 1sprite1script using the “more blocks” is to my mind like adding functions : it's still only one script that is running…

There used to be a block called "all at once". It was removed because atomic functions were added, and I doubt it's ever coming back.

I wish I joined scratch earlier… I missed a lot of the fun. But I was born in 2003, so…

Some more design ideas for the block:

evaluate :: control cstart
end

evaluate :: control cstart
show result :: control cend

run :: control cstart
without screen refresh :: control cend

execute :: grey cstart
end

all at once :: control cstart
end

do :: control cstart
all at once :: cend

run :: grey cstart
with light speed :: grey cend

Turbo Mode :: grey cstart
end

run in [Turbo Mode v] :: control cstart
end

single frame :: control cstart
end

atomicize :: control cstart
end

Feel free to add your own design ideas. The reason I added these is to give the ST naming suggestions, because I think one of the reasons why “all at once” has not returned is because the name wasn't very catchy or helpful. I think the “run: without screen refresh” is one of the better names, and please, post ideas of your own.

How about doing this:

run script :: control cstart very fast :: control cend

run script :: control cstart 
very fast :: control cend

No support. Use custom blocks that are set to “Run Without Screen Refresh”

Scratch is supposed to be simple. A block like this would make little sense to most people. It is useful and hence the reason you can do this in a custom block. I don't think a new block is required just because people want to use this in 1s1s. Isn't not having that ability part of the 1s1s challenge?

Even if there's a way that works, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't be improved upon. The current system, by preventing Scratchers from accessing the function directly, on occasion forces one to stick most of hir code in a custom block, but more importantly, it's inherently inelegant. I understand if it's too much trouble for the Scratch Team, but this seems like a relatively straightforward addition that would serve to streamline the Scratch language.
