The call is Anmat:Anmat:..., which is exactly how Scramble puts it. Just add 'A Scramble block' below it.

A Scramble block

Oh.
@Librarians: Should we?

It's only fair. It was made with Hardmath's program, so he should get some credit. And what logical person would name their method with the same abbreviation over and over? 

But when it is made with a program, that doesn't make it the program creators actual block, so I vote no.

Considering the amount of time we have put into categorising, labelling and displaying blocks including how-to tutorials and help topics means to me that the Block Library is all about sharing blocks and making the creation and use of those blocks as easy as possible. Scramble is a system that makes Scratch block creation that much easier. It is also created by Hardmath, who has been a contributor here for some time. For these reasons I would say that the library should support Scramble is a system. I would certainly like to see Scramble become more developed as it is a little limiting at the moment but I can see it going far!

Thanks you Sparks!

I'd also like to make one more request...

Scramble 2.0, releasing soon, will have a 'custom blocks' function, where you can add custom blocks to your copy of Scramble, and use them over and over in your blocks (they may be saved using cookies, that's still under development). Basically, you input a scrambleSpec and a scrambleScript (1 line and 10-ish lines, respectively), that Scramble uses to produce blocks.
I was wondering if you could add a Scramble Commands Library. It doesn't need to be <i>nearly</i> as fancy, because a) blocks don't have to be categorized, they all go under Custom Blocks, b) blocks don't need images, just text, and c) well... here's how I can imagine a mockup:

Square root
What it does: sets a variable to its square root.

Code:

<br><input type="radio" name="commands" value="sqrt" onclick="setBlockVal(this.value)">Square root

Code:

    if (blockName=="sqrt")
    {
        tempInputA=prompt("Enter a Temporary variable to square root.")
        document.getElementById("currentBlock").value=tempInputA+"_ "+tempInputA+" raisedTo: 0.5."
        document.getElementById("currentBlockSimple").value="Set "+tempInputA+" to "+tempInputA+"s square root."
    }

{tested}

Joeman592 can make all the graphics you need. Also, you only need to use 1 page!
What do you think?

I don't think we need a new category Scramble is squeak. 

What Is A Blockspec?

I'm not suggesting a new category in the library. Hardmath wants to have a section on his scramble thread with usable scramble methods from what I understand. We would support blocks in the library made with scramble with some sort of "made with scramble" link under it so that other people can find and use it. You have to admit Scratch blocks are currently the hardest to create and add to the system so any programs that make it easier are ok in my book 

Yes, I noticed that afterwards. LOL

two new blocks: :
blockspec:

('confirm %s' #b #confirm:)

no code needed

what it does: asks the user a yes/no question and is false if the user selects no, true if he/she selects yes

:
blockspec:

('alert %s' #- #inform:)

no code needed

Scratch-Blocks->WhenHatBlockMorph->all:

Code:

stepTime
^ 0.1

and

Code:

step
self evaluateCondition ifTrue: [self start]

blockspec:

Code:

('' #W #-)

(you don't give the block a name because the WhenHatBlockMorph class automatically adds the label.)

You don't need to do the top two instructions. Just remove the 'true ifTrue: [^ self].' line from ScratchFrameMorph and ScratchPresenterMorph processWhenConditions. 

New block:


Spec:
('emergency exit' #- #emergencyExit)
Code:
emergencyExit
    Smalltalk exitToDebugger

There are instructions on how to get a capped block somewhere else in the library I think. I won't post them here.

This block performs a primitive exit from the VM. No call to snapshot:andQuit:, or any ScratchFrameMorph methods which allow cleanup and bring up dialogs - this block gets you straight and unstoppably out. Save your project before using!

Nice, I don't think we have a cap block creation tutorial in the library though...

Pecola made one, I think.

How come you guys are online? are you on holiday?

Where is it? I've always wondered how cap blocks are made!

Where the first cap block is, in Scratch Control.
I learned from someone else though.
BTW, I shouldn't be online...

@btw: lol

Actually, now there are three quit-like block, two including yours have no dialog.

Ahh... so you made that, great! Job.
