Since all the block definitions aren't out yet, I was wondering what these blocks do:

(user ID) (explained)

(video [direction v]) on [this sprite v])

If you could tell me that would be great, ‘cause these report some confusing things so I can’t guess.

Bump.

The “userid” block returns the number 0 for anyone that is not logged in.

For someone that is logged in, it returns a unique number. This is so that you know if someone comes back to your project. A returning person always gets the same number.

The numbers are handed out like this:

The first person to view your project (usually you, the developer) gets the number 1.

The next person gets the number 2 and so on…

You may get the number 1 on one project and the number 105 on another project. But each time you return to a project you are given the same number as you were first assigned to that project.

The number returned by a “userid” block can be used as an index into a cloud list for storing information that you wish to recall on the next visit to that project… for example a bank balance in a black jack game, a high score in a tower defense game, or your progress in an adventure game.

Thank you! That solves the first one.

Bump.
