You mean I could just use an OSlot (gray border)? I don't like that shortcut, (the () block) is short enough for me (it's a shortening of (the script (report ())))

Yeah. Why don't you like it?

It's harder to read at a glance.

Oh. That makes sense.

ok. nXIII, any chance you could get me an "other" graphic block for the BYOB menu? 

So the time block is either LS or Billyedward?

Can you listen to me for once.

I said the time block was by LS97.

Zorket I can't help but feel you're being a little rude at the moment... I do listen to you, and I take time out of my day to answer questions and update this thread. Moreover, I did explain that I had no internet, and couldn't add your new blocks, I'm sure it wasn't life threatening or career changing that I failed to update it for a few days. I can only ask that you are a little more polite, I do try hard to keep this and Panther and my emails, and two websites and all my school work going.

It would go in other, but you don't have a category for that (Nor does BYOB). I think shouold put it in variables, that's where is would be in BYOB.

ok, variables it is, though I think I shall try and get nXIII to make a new catagory image for BYOB,

( (Color) effect)

By: LS97

blockspec:

('%g effect' #r #getEffect: 'color')

getEffect: t1 
    filterPack ifNil: [^ 0].
    'blur' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack blur].
    'brightness' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack brightnessShift].
    'fisheye' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack fisheye].
    'color' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack hueShift].
    'mosaic' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack mosaicCount].
    'pixelate' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pixelateCount].
    'pointillize' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pointillizeSize].
    'saturation' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack saturationShift].
    'whirl' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack whirl]

You can add three more effects, blur, saturation, and pointillize. This is why the code is three strips lower. You can add the effects some way.

I made it first 

You made everything first! 

Alright, I finally got the BYOB Block Library project updated (in which I optimized a few blocks) and have a couple blocks of mine (and one that's not mine) to add (as well as an improvement upon the (average of () and ()) block).
Here's some blocks:
Mine:

(reports the text typed in it, in case this wasn't obvious)



An improvement upon the (average of () and ()) block, allowing it to find the average of any amount of of numbers:



And you should probably add this block by nxIII (nxIII posted the content of the block for optimizing the (join [] ↔) block); this block is a list block, so this calls for a List section in the block library:

Oh. 

don't worry about it, Zorket 

SHOCK! HORROR!

Today I demonstrated the block library to a friend.
"Here! look how easy it is! you just open Panther and copy these two bits off the library into the boxes and.... oh."

It didn't work! The offending block in question was the "set background color of $Variable$ to $Color$ block. It turns out that the quote function I used showed only a few of the lines of the code, hiding the last two!

so, I plan to put a little "Tested" icon next to tested blocks to assure users that the block does work. (anyone want to design that?). If you have used any block library blocks, let me know if they worked so we can label them as tested. Thanks

The reason that I have blocks flying is that I'm ULTRA EXTREMLY good at squeak codes. I can even translate BYOB codes into scratch!

There are blocks from the cool custom blocks in scratch that generates blocks faster than a plane. They  shoot blocks out like

That keeps a little but of my block boost.

Block: (^) () Sound strange? It may look like (reverse) (hello) Get it?

Blockspec:

('%T %s' #r #do:to:)

do: t1 to: t2
t1 = 'reverse' ifTrue: [^ t2 reversed].
t1 = 'shuffle' ifTrue: [^ t2 shuffled].
t1 = 'uppercase' ifTrue: [^ t2 asUppercase].
t1 = 'lowercase' ifTrue: [^ t2 asLowercase].
t1 = 'report' ifTrue: [^ t2].

Scratch blocks> commandBlockMorph> all> uncoloredArgMorphFor: add a strip:

$T = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #mixingNames;
choice: 'reverse'].

Scratch objects> scriptableScratchMorph> LOW then press class> otherOps:

mixingNames
    ^ #('lowercase' 'uppercase' 'reverse' 'shuffle' 'report' )

You will 95% likely enjoy this block if you made it. It's very useful in some cases.

No, my includes is correct. Maybe you typed it wrong?

Opps, I did. I forgot that 'b' in box 2. I updated my tests up there.
