Scratch

Shriek is a project I've been quietly working on for quite a while.
Download it here.
(Please note that there might still be some 'garbage' left over from previous attempts to add new features that failed epicly)
Here is a list of new features so far:

UI features:
1. 'Stage Shot' button in Costumes pannel (takes a shot of the stage (without the shadows on the edge) and turns it into a costume)
2. 2 new categories: Other and Custom. Other contains blocks that don't directly relate to scratch.  Custom is NOT a custom blocks category; you can add frequently used blocks and scripts to your custom palette for easy access.
3. 'Show/hide motor blocks' button in Motion category
4. Mesh (mesh-related blocks not yet added)

Blocks:
     Control:
     1.Clone hack blocks: [clone me] [delete me] <is clone?> (sprite name) and [when Sprite created] (credit to Panther)
     2. My famous <[] received?> block
     3. A block that evaluates a piece of Squeak code
     Motion:
     1. [point n direction x: (10) y: (10)]
     Sensing:
     1. (key pressed)
     2. New option in attributes menu: costume/background name
     Looks:
     1. (costume name)
     2. (costume width)
     3. (costume height)
     4. ([color] effect)
     5. <hidden?>
     6. [flip] (credit to Jens)
     7. [change stretch by (10)]
     8. [set stretch to (100) %]
     9. [say nothing]
     Operators:
     1. (if <> then [] else [])
     2. <if <> then <> else <>>
     3. (ASCII of character [])
     4. (character for ASCII (10))
     5. [set copy string to []] (same as ctrl-C-ing)
     6. (copy string) (same as ctrl-V-ing)
     Sounds:
     1. [beep]
     Variables:
     Lists:
     1. [show list []]
     2. [hide list []]
     Pen:
     1. <pen down?>
     Other:
     1. (Scratch memory space left)
                                      
     2. |show cursor [] while|
         |  |                         
         |                            |
     3. [pause all for (10) milliseconds]
     4. [error [my bad] with details [use \ for new line]]
     5. [open file/URL [www.youfail.org]]
     6. [pop]
     7. [yield]
     8. [crash]
     9. <[a reporter] causes an error?>

Custom procedures
There are two more blocks that I have not listed above:
[procedure [name] with args ►] (hat block)
[call [name] with args ►]
which are in the Control category.
However, these procedures are different from broadcasts with arguments:
When a procedure is called, the blocks in the procedure are compiled into Squeak code, and then run! This means that there is no lag with repeat loops!

I am, by far, not a graphics expert, so could someone make a logo sprite and upper-right-hand corner logo? I want the sprite to be a bird.

UPDATES:
1. More 'garbage cleanup'
2. Custom palette fixed
3. 'remove from custom palette' option for scripts in custom palette
4. More surprises waiting for you when you download it! (Don't worry; none of these are UI features that might be hard to find)
5. All clone blocks moved to Other category.

KNOWN BUGS:
1. After adding an input var to a procedure, blocks can't be added directly to the bottom of the hat block if there were not any blocks there already.
2. [if touching [sprite/mouse], bounce] block is not working (still in progress and likely to be abandoned)
