Proposed Changes
Add a new block to the Sensing category to detect whether or not the system is online (has an active Internet connection).
Reason for Changes
Scratch users have discovered ways to check for online status, most commonly by repeatedly using the Translate extension. While I applaud the ingenuity, this approach generates excess load on the Translate infrastructure. Scratchers and the Scratch Team will all have a better time if we provide a direct way to check for online status.
I'm open to feedback, including:
