Scratch

I don't know. I think it took me 2 days, but I could be wrong.



NEW BETA REALESED!
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ThePiGuy/694866!
I added 3 new functions, which are:

NTE <number> - Plays note(Only two digit numbers, if you want to enter one digit numbers, type 0 in the tens digit)
TMO <number> - Sets tempo(Only two digit numbers, if you want to enter one digit numbers, type 0 in the tens digit)
MEW - Makes cat meow!

Enjoy    !

This entire Idea is flawed.

making a programming language in a program that is designed to make programming easy?

What kind of arbitrary thought process did you go through to justify this waste of time?

People can make whatever they like. It's up to them.

Great! I like programming languages made in Scratch of all sorts - I've even made one!

I think all Scratch programming languages are slow - It's just that Scratch is ill-fitted for running so many complicated operations at once.

I NEED IDEAS FOR THE NEXT VERSION!
Digimath, I've tried that, and it didn't work (I'll try again, though  .)

How about adding some user interface features.
For example, a "set breakpoint / continue" feature, or a single-step feature where the user did something each time to make each instruction execute. 

Or,

What if S had special variables that would automatically increment or decrement each time they were used?

It also might be fun to combine your list processor with another Scratch project.  Dapontes has a very good project with a dangling character that you can move by hand http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dapontes/696603

Your two projects could be merged to create a project that would let people make their own skits.  If a second character were added you could let people control both from one S program.

Select #1
[insert S commands to move close to second character]
SAY: Who are you?
Select #2
[insert S commands to jump up]
SAY:  We are the Knights Who Say... Nee!

YAY! GOOD IDEA! I'll make it so you can set whether each variable is normal, auto-increase, auto-decrease, auto-multiply, or static(cannot change unless type changed).

Haha.. It's slow because you've got your programming language stuck in  a programming language stuck in a programming language.

IDEA: Go learn python.

I don't care! Just PLEASE STOP POSTING ON ME STUFF! IT'S ANNOYING AND HURTING MY FEELINGS(Do you like that?)!

So we're going to talk about feelings now?

Well, whenever I try your "program language" a little bit of me dies inside.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
By the way, "program language" is REALLY "programming language"  .

By the way, what does S even stand for? [explicative removed by moderator]?

rdvonz, please be respectful and do not use disrespectful language on the Scratch forums.

Hey rdvonz - I'm so sorry that we haven't explained clearly enough how these forums work or what they are for.  They are for helping people to improve their Scratching skills in a friendly way.  Putting down this project the way you have been doing is very discouraging and not supportive. 

Your observation that other programming languages might be better suited for the task is certainly a good one - but not everybody is ready to step up to Python or other text-based languages.  And there is still a lot to be learned trying it in Scratch 

Thanks for taking such an interest in other people's work.  It appears you have experience with other programming languages and can offer a lot to the Scratch community.  A more positive attitude, however,  will make a big difference in how your comments are perceived and would be appreciated.  You can read more about the guidelines for the Scratch website in the Terms of Use - see the link at the bottom of the page.

As for your crack about Cheddargirl's signature - that was uncalled for.  To quote the great Tom Lehrer: "For filth (I'm glad to say) is in the mind of the beholder.  When correctly viewed, Everything is lewd."

...Then create a "When I receive" block for each type of command in your S language.  When your project executes an S program, it would pull each command of that S program out of the first new array and then directly broadcast using that command as a string.  Your scratch project would have scripts that start with "When I receive NTE" and "When I receive i++" and so on....

I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED! WOO HOO! (But now you must download to play because it NEEDS to be on Turbo-Speed mode otherwise it's REALLY slow!)

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ThePiGuy/711915 is the NEW VERSION! Thanks alot of you for giving me great ideas! This new version has markers, comments, and "When I receive blocks" in the source code!
ENJOY and don't forget to comment  !

By the way, if you want to see what's new, take a look at this example project! (With line numbers on the far left.)

01 /Comments and markers
02 /This is a comment. It is ignored.
03 /Set i to 0.
04 i=0
05 /Start repeat block.
06 RPT 10
07 /Increase I
08 i++
09 /Write i to output.
10 WRT iv
11 /Ife set to marker 1 (:1)
12 Ife :1
13 /If i is 4 then output and say "Hi!".
14 Ii=4
15 WRT Hi!
16 SAY Hi!
17 WT 1
18 SAY
19 /Marker 1 is on the next line.
20 :1
21 /End repeat
22 eRP
23 /
24 /Note: "End repeat" code changed due to the addition of the comment.
25 /This works becacuse the new S version checks for all markers first, then writes the positions to a list. The IFE statement then looks for the position of the marker it's assigned to and sets the If false line to the position of the marker. (In this case, #1)
26 /Enjoy the new version of s!

Changes in functions:
/RP changed to eRP due to comment. (/ now means comment.)

P.S. I might add my own calculator to my project!
