Oh, that's cool, Lucario, thanks for trying those pages on your android phone! I don't own one so I'm very glad someone checked. Can you actually drag and drop blocks? Does the context menu pop up when you touch and hold one finger and then tap with another one?

You're right that text entry on touchscreen devices does not yet work (neither on iOS), but we'll get around to it. We probably won't be using the built-in virtual keyboards but instead write our own Morphic ones, though.

Yes, I can drag and drop blocks. Place blocks inside if blocks, and stuff like that.

I don't seem to be open any kind of context menu though. That's the equivalent of right-clicking in Snap! on a computer, right? Sometimes those "a ScriptsMorph 1 [something]" pops up though -- I'm not sure how I do it though.

This time I've tried though, it has actually been crashing my phone (that specific web page). Perhaps its a bit javascript intensive or something.

But one thing: Make the scroll bars bigger! They're rather difficult to use.

A custom keyboard sounds cool  .

BTW I think some input placement stuff is a bit off. You can place "the script" block inside both of the "if" block's arguments.

Awesome, thanks Lucario! I'm really glad (and somewhat stunned) that the basic GUI functionality appears to be working on your Droid out of the box. The context menu should come up when you either double-tap (with two fingers at once) or consecutively tap-and-hold and then tap with a second finger (for single-touch devices).

Scroll bars - and in fact all of the GUI settings will be changed a lot before we're done, but you shouldn't really need scroll bars at all, because you can just drag the list pane (scrolling by dragging).

The fact that both boolean slots and command slots also accept any (round) reporter - including THE SCRIPT - is standard BYOB syntax (everything first-class, remember?    ), but it's unusual for blocks that are system primitives in Scratch. At the moment I'm just creating all the ingredients which are needed to create any conceivable block present in Scratch 1.4 and possible in BYOB 3, fine-tuning will come later.

Thanks again for the quick testing!

Hallo Jens!
Ich suche einen Weg um an die Objekte und Scripte einer sb Datei zu kommen (mit Java).
Ich wollte mir den online JavaPlayer anschauen wie er ein SB einliest aber leider ist dieser nicht open source    . Könntest du dein "Save as XML" für chirp so erweitern dass es
die Möglichkeit gibt alle Scripte auf einmal in eine XML Datei zu schreiben, und alle
Bilder der Sprites in ein ZipArchiv zu exportieren? (z.B für jedes Sprite einen eigenen Ordner mit seinen Kostümen drin).
Danke!

Danke!!

naja, dann siehst du dir das eben im Squeak Code an, ist ja dasselbe, ein serialisiertes Objekt halt... Viel Glück!

New: Drop-down menus for input slots.

It’s really great! Amazing, but...


The scrollbar has some lag issues and while it lags, I can’t put any blocks, or click on anything.

The next step, in my opinion would be to have the ability to make and name variables, and lists.

I’m amazed with your work as always.

Yeah, right now my browser is trying to crash eash time I try to open the page  . I'm considering downloading another browser for my phone.

Well of course I know that, but even that doesn't work for me in BYOB 3.1...

@ bharvey, Jens, byobers

My Tutorial has been updated as to allow downloading of all examples.
Far from being satisfying, but anyway I hope it can be useful "as it is".

ps - best wishes Brian for your 'health, and Jens for your on-going Byob4 achievements.

Nice progress on Snap! I'm running on my iPad but there is a lot of lag. I have a feeling that the final product will have more lag than BYOB 3 if it is not optimized much. 

When is the deadline?

Thurs 25 Aug is rhe first day of classes at Berkeley.  That's the deadline for full working code.  We need an alpha release with a firm idea of the user interface from which we can redo the illustrations in the curriculum units a week or (preferably) two before that.

I'm so excited!!!    When do we get to start alpha-testing?
