Preatty decent extention, but I hope you will add an addon that lets the user change the anchor point of the sprite in costume redactor! I just hate repositioning the object everytime I rotate it...

Search doesn't work and many basic features. Scratch is extremely glitchy and laggy. Get out of this trash!

The addons don't work. I've enabled the addons but when I get on scratch it doesn't have the addons I've enabled please fix. 2 stars because it could have some possibility if it worked.
