Scratch

Look in the method to find out. 

Do this:

self say: 'Insert easter egg message here'.
Delay waitMSecs: 2000. "Just replace 2000 with the number of seconds you want the message to be up * 1000."
self sayNothing.

I really was about to suggest that 

Haha. I've had moments like that (about to post something that's already been said) before in the forums. It's time for me to get even 

There's a problem. It has an error that the primitive failed and doesn't react. I think that the reason is that it's a really long easter egg and it says multiple things.

it's a timed block, which needs to be called from within a ScratchProcess. For your easter egg I'd recommend using just the plain form: #say:

I would have an array of pairs, like

#(
('Hello, there!' 2)
('I am Sprite1!' 2.5)
)

and go through them with a whileTrue loop, using duration:elapsed:from: with the timer.

How would I plug them in to the say part?

I was suggesting that you code that part for yourself

I tried

Code:

easterEgg
| message|

message _  #(
    ('message part 1' 2) ('' .1) ('message part 2' 2) ('' .1)
    ).

[:v |
    self say: ((lyrics at: v) at: 1).
    Delay waitMSecs: (((lyrics at: v) at: 2) * 1000)
]

And it had no effect. What's wrong?

(Note: I changed the parts that would give it away, because it's a secret.)

Edit: I found a problem, and I fixed it in the code above, but it still doesn't work.

You have an empty block; try using "messages do: [...]"

I don't know what that means, but I found and fixed another problem. I needed to add an ifAbsent: [^ self] to each at:. It still doesn't work.

This:

[:v |
    self say: ((lyrics at: v) at: 1).
    Delay waitMSecs: (((lyrics at: v) at: 2) * 1000)
]

is an unused block. (sorry, that's what I meant)
I was suggesting you use this:

messages do: [:v |
    ...
]

An array can't say the message. Only sprites can 'say' things. How can I plug in messages do: [v:...
to self say:?

....what? self is a sprite in that context if it's a ScratchSpriteMorph message....

You can't do

Code:

mesages do: [v:
self say: 'something'
]

Because messages is an array of some sort, and they can't say things.

self is not the block; blocks don't modify the context to include themselves as "self"
self still refers to the sprite
