Are you guys trying to figure out the blocks to put in the code, or are y'all in the process of submitting the PR right now? I'm a bit confused on which page we're on

We know what blocks we are using - they are in the OP. We just need people to help code them and make the PR

Do y'all have any ideas on how we can find ppl to help? just curious

Yeah, maybe we could ask GlitchInTheMatrix for help.

a grand total of ZERO TIMES!!!!
jokes aside, this would make many games very cool, like a “Nintendo Game In Scratch” being more realistic due to actually using a controller.

I need to press P and click at the same time, but I also need to hold down 1 and I… OW.

I actually use the micro:bit a lot. To make things like Guitar Hero. i've just had an idea… never mind. It would be more realistic, though. And, you could have more fun. In some games you can end up in weird hand postions because of weird controls.

Yeah, you're right. (quick note, not being mean, but people have been doing this a lot now: don't reply to posts from more than 10 pages ago.)

Yeah, not a lot of people use the lego extensions, micro:bit, like you were saying, makey makey, etc. Scratch should take the time to put in functions that the most part of people will use (like controller extensions) instead of making a function that will be forgotten by the community quickly after its release.

And the Lego Mindstorms EV3 isn't sold anymore! Like, they should have taken down the extension by now! jeez…

I mean, a lot of the scratch community consists of little kids learning how to code, so it makes sense that they would put in extensions that are appealing to little kids. And, while I completely understand the purpose of these extensions, there are also teens (like myself) and adults who use Scratch who would like an idea of our own added, so they should listen to the community and implement something that us big kids want too. I mean, this thread has been going for almost 6 years (that's a long time, wow!) and still no response from the ST about our thread, except a few snips from the moderators.

ST, if you are reading this, PLEASE consider making a statement on whether or not you guys will implement this, so we can figure out whether or not we need to continue this thread. We are a small community of folks who are passionate about this idea, and this thread has over 1800 posts (that's a lot for a forum thread!) of us communicating back and forth about how to go forward and little extra mini-ideas we came up with in our spare time. You guys are the only ones who have the power to implement this function into your program, and we have been patiently waiting for almost 6 years for a response that gives us an idea on what the future of our idea will be. So PLEASE make a post on how it's all gonna go down.

Your friend,

crawfishcode

P.S. wasn't trying to sound rude, if it sounded that way i'm sorry

Hey, we're adding controller support!

I feel like if they do plan to implement controller support, they'll stay quiet until they've got it nearly done. If they went

Hey, we're adding controller support!

And then all the controller makers say “no, we don't want that” then the community would be very sad. Instead they'd probably announce it after all that. So who knows, we might have already convinced them, but they haven't made it public.

Seeing as crawfish did it,

True, that could be it. But it's been so long since this thread started that…*sigh* I don't know.

Also everyone, thank you all so much for the positive responses toward my post! I didn't know how everyone would react after I posted it, but I logged on scratch just now to find that I got 2 new folllowers and positive comments on the forum! Again, Thank you!
