Hi megalokiman, if you're using Windows you can just unzip the download file and double click on BYOB.exe. No need to install 

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm... I'll Think About It.

So, you want to define your own procedures and functions in Scratch? Build your own blocks (BYOB    )?

You might as well try this new experimental prototype I have been developing over the last weeks. You can download and read through an overview (pdf), or download the whole application (including the overview) and start playing with it right away.

This prototype lets you build your own custom blocks in Scratch using the standard Scratch blocks, as well as other blocks you defined elsewhere. You can create your own command blocks (procedures) and reporter blocks (functions), both regular ("round") and boolean ("diamond"). You can specify for each block to be atomic (run at the speed of a single block) or interleafed. Your custom blocks are defined for each sprite and can be shared among projects together with the sprite they were created for. Oh, and you can even use a block within itself (recursion).

This prototype is very, very, experimental, so be prepared to encounter lots of bugs. I'd be very interested in feedback about your experiences and insights.

umm... When i went to my documents i saw your byob and i scrolled down three after that and i saw this thing that looked like a scratch block with a windows icon on it with NO title WHATSOEVER. When i saw it i'm like what the heck? Can you explain what that is and how to fix it? please?

Please answer!! It is kinda scaring me..

It's a BYOB excecutable. It's when you compile a project, you can click on that to open it in fullscreen.

  It wont work on Mac. 

Hi shamrocker,

BYOB does work on Macs. One way to set it up is to replace the file called Scratch.image with the one named BYOB.image (you might have to rename BYOB.image to Scratch.image). I'm sure there must be others ways to set it up correctly on a Mac, and will post detailed instructions with the next release.

I've got it running, but how do I create blocks & start Mesh? Doesn't mesh make a multiplayer game? 

OK!    But how can I share it on the Scratch website?

Oh, and I made a chatroom!    The IP adress is... 10.37.129.2 to join it.    (I don't know, I just wanna share it so more people can come on it.)

Make a block: Go in the variable pattle, click Make a Block, you get to name a block, also within text boxes (code: % ), and choose a shape, and then a window comes up. This is where you can edit a block.
Press 'OK' to save and close.
Press 'Cancel' to close (don't worry, you can still edit/delete blocks by right-clicking or command-clicking and selecting a option).
Delete a block: right-click or command-click a block and select the delete block option.
Start Mesh: On the share, click Join Mesh or Host Mesh.
Stop Mesh: On the share, click Stop Hosting Mesh or Stop Joining Mesh option.
Hope this helps    !

its working now...

Very Interesting! This reminds me of the time when Jens created the "Flip" block. Computer technology is so great now! I am actually using my iPod to type this post!
