Hi nobody36,
in the download zip file of BYOB you'll find two pdf's explaining how to use BYOB, and several example projects that you can look at or remix. Incidentally, there's also a Bounce block in the examples
. One thing, BYOB 2.0 doesn't let lt you do yet, is choose a custom block's category and set its color. But that'll be in the next version which is currently in alpha stage.

will this affect my computer? like slow it down or mess it up?

Hello,
I am a beginner at BYOB as i have not built a block yet, I would like a tutorial showing how to make a Bounce block that would go into the blue section. For example
[blocks]<if><touching color[ red ] <bounce>[/blocks]
Any help will be appreciated!
Nobody36
Ok, that would actualy be a command block, since the boolean (< >) type blocks are sensors and only return a true/false answer. It is not possible to do what your requesting, but why would you want to do that when you already have a touching block? i think if you download Streak (I dont know the link) theres a [if touching [ ] bounce] block.

If you want to play someone on the same system as you, (In your house) you find the IP and one of you hosts, and the other puts in the IP (Theres a button for that in the mesh feature part) then you can play using mesh.
If you want to play someone over a long distance (E.g. UK and the US) then you use something like Hamachi. Ask someone else to explain hamachi, i'v not used it.

I was just wondering if there is a way to open the world menu in BYOB?
World menu?

the world menu is part of the development environment when you edit the image (source code) in Squeak. I disabled hacking into the BYOB source, I think
, but plan to release a source code version sometime this summer.

That would be interesting to look at how it works.

if BYOB causes a Squeak error in user mode it won't let you enter a debugger. Instead a read-only message box pops up informing you about the stack that caused the error, that's why you cannot alter the source code at the moment (shift-clicking anywhere also won't help). Again, I'm planning to change this with the next version.

Then what did MathWhizz do?

Hi, I'm a BYOB user and I'd like to know a few things.
If you can, is it possible to make a drop-down field for Sprites, broadcasts, variables and/or lists, etc.? Like the drop-down lists you see on normal blocks. I found that you can do a broadcasts window on accident by typing %, some symbol, then "exponent." (Without the period) It ended up as broadcast list in the word "xponent" in some form. If you can do broadcasts, can you do everything else?

Can you show us a pciture of what you mean by broadcasts window?

That kinda stuff. I was able to make the broadcasts drop-down menu, for some reason, on accident. Is it a hidden feature or what?
And don't tell me it's impossible, because if I did it, then it's possible. I'm trying to replicate it for proof, but no luck since I don't know what exactly I typed in. BUT...
Since I know it's actually possible, how would I do it?
