Oh, another question; how come it will not let me use a block like so: say [get [date]] Instead of saying the date, my sprite just says; Error!

that's simply because you didn't make the block well.

Block requests: A (Date) block, a (time) block, and a (day) block. You know, where they look like the (mouse x) block? So all it does is report what is in it and you can put it in the say [] block successfully. Basically, I want to be able to have my sprites announcing the date, time, and day.    Please make it!

i already made them all, combined into one block. and the (mouse x) block types are called reporters.

I used YOUR code! So, how do I fix YOUR code?

LS97's code works. It's your fault.

Hi LS97. I'm not sure how to use the <sprite _ touching sprite> block that you made. Could you please tell me where to put all the code? I tried in many places and I still get errors.

Also, does anyone know the codes for the following and where to put them?

If touching sprite_, bounce
flip
(report name of sprite)
clone
delete me

Thanks in advance!

I followed LS97's code exactly. Would you mind telling me how it is my fault, then?

@catwalk923,

i see you've registered on bingo.

Yeah, I thought it would be fun. So, what exactly am I supposed to do? It looks like I'm supposed to make projects using new blocks.

yeah. either make projects using the blocks on this forum thread and email them to me or wait until bingo is released.

Um... I really WOULD like to know how to fix the get [date] block. I used your code, but I can't use the get [date] block to work! What do I do???

Thanks in advance!

delete me is ('delete me' #- #deleteMe)

Code:

deleteMe
    self delete

p.s. made code myself!

report sprite name is ('sprite name #r #spriteName)

Code:

spriteName
    ^ self objName

Thanks!!! But what I really need to know the most is where exactly to put the <sprite_ touching_> block. I think LS97 knows where, but if ANYONE can tell me it would be greatly appreciated.

Can i have:

create sprite [] run code
         (code)
<end>

With the spec?
It creates a sprite named[] and runs the code on it.
Comp500:)

i think the creat sprite is good and then with code would be good too. I'll try to make em but im not very good with squeak so LS97 or nXIII will also have to do it. They are MUCH MUCH(times 9999999999999999999999) better than me.

How do you save the changes? I entered the first data but when I tried to switch to instances it said "Changes have not been saved. Is it OK to cancel those changes?" if you push no it stays in the same place. If you push yes it switches but deletes your changes. How do I save it?

put it in sensing. Scratch-objects, scritpable sprite(or stage, put it in both)morph, sensing. Put the code in blah blah blah, then go to class and make the spec. do it again for the stage/sprite morph(if you did one or the other first) if you want it to be a bounce at te end, put it in motion.

I tried, but I get the error:

 Message not understood: Bounds
Symbol(Object)>>error:
[] in PasteUpMorph>>runStepMethods
[] in BlockContext>>ifError:

Symbol(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand:
ScratchSpriteMorph>>sprite:touching:
ReporterBlockMorph(CommandBlockMorph)>>evaluateWithArgs:
ScratchProcess>>applyPrimitive

Maybe I have the wrong codes or something. Anyone know a code that they are sure works?

well... i dont... anyway, i don't get what this code is. could you put the actual code without the error messages? then we can see if its wrong

HELP!!! I can't find the code grabFromScreen!!! How do I add it? I tried the block, but it does not know what #grabFromSceen means! HELP!!!

are you using scratch 1.3 or 1.4 it might matter. also, try just copying and pasting if you didn't already do that

also an easier way to make sprite name would be ('sprite name' #r #objName)
