And more scratch lab extensions.

Full Support!
Now we'll have new blocks like this!

I used my screenshot and my cubeupload
(credit to Scratch Lab)

I do not support this. Why not make a text engine? I mean, the only use is when you are using Asian text like こんにちは(Konnichiwa)(Hello)(Japanese)
Other than that, this is a no support by me ._.

It is kind of an unnecessary effort that has to go into projects just for writing text, and then it ends up pixelated because of using the pen extension or the number of characters displayed exceeds the clone limit. As you suggested, text engines don't support a lot of characters, but the Scratch lab extension can, so it would mean that translation can be done automatically (combined with the translate blocks) in projects and you don't have to write them yourself.

I wonder why Scratch Lab hasn’t been touched in so long

Animated text would be a lot of fun and there definitely are a lot of uses for it, such as making cool looking captions for music videos.

I think it's because the Scratch Team has other priorities before Scratch Lab.
The biggest priority at the top of their list is updating the forums/Scratch 1.4-era pages.

There aren't any Scratch 1.4 era pages left. The old Scratch pages are a part of scratchr2, the original 2.0 website. The “3.0” pages are scratch-www, which came out in 2017- also during Scratch 2.0.

Regardless, isn't the point of adding them to Scratch Lab so that the community can test it out and so that they can get bugs fixed? My point is, they wouldn't add it to Scratch Lab if they weren't at least considering adding them to Scratch.

Additionally, pen text displays below sprites, which is a pain.

Depends on how it's drawn. If it's drawn using stamping, then it should be fine, if it's drawn using some other method, this is possible.

Oh no the Animated Text suggestion for Scratch Lab was already being suggested here!
Anyways, [ironic statement]who wouldn't want a feature like this?[/ironic statement]

Sad

Yes, I too was disappointed. I thought, “This is the greatest suggestion in the world”, but then 'Paddle said:

It looks like this is a duplicate topic of this one over here so I'll close it to keep the conversation all in one place.

Please use the existing topic in the link above.

The new one had more posts

That doesn't matter. It's the age that matters.

no. the topics can be merged.

Support It seems to be a cool feature I tried it out for myself in the scratch lab and it was pretty good
