I love doing squeak editing, but I am used to using scratch. How do you do blockspecs in panther? I am doing the block with the code

view projects page for user $String$
-
#E6A822
Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/users/', t1]

My blockspecs is ('open Scratch "my stuff" page for user: %s' #- #doOpen: scimonster)
But, instead of a block reading [open Scratch "my stuff" page for user (space for a user's name with default of scimonster)], I get [open Scratch "my stuff" age for user scimonster%s], with no place for a string.

HOW DO I DO PANTHER BLOCKSPECS?

hmm, i've been trying to get the password block to work, and when i added that it just started saying error to everything.

yes, I believe taking off contents will work. XD Sorry about that, I don't know why I had that... or was that someone els's mistake?

Great for stamping projects where you can stamp or draw on parts of the stage but not on the toolbars to the side of the "canvas". Will add it to the library in a second!

Shouldn't it be

The extra periods don't mess it up?

Scratch/Panther will remove any not needed periods. wink

^ Whoops - I hadn't programmed in smalltalk for aaages and forgot where it needed periods. It works so I assumed it was right tongue

HOW DO I DO PANTHER BLOCKSPECS?

The $String$ is the Panther equivalent to %s. So your blockspec needs to be

Code:

open Scratch "my stuff" page for user: $String$

The parenthesis ( '(' ) in your blockspec aren't needed. Instead of describing the block type in the spec via #- you put the dash in the little box in the top-right corner of the "make a block" window. That path #doOpen: scimonster is also not needed. In Scratch this would connect the blockspec to the block's code but in Panther the code is in the box below so this isn't needed. In the same way, don't start your code in Panther with the address scimonster:

so you're looking at this code:

box 1 (the long one at the top of the window)

Code:

open Scratch "my stuff" page for user: $String$

box 2 (the tiny one in the corner)

Code:

Box 3 (the main large one)

Code:

Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/users/', t1]

Hope this helps!

new block:

if you have the (1/2 of ( ) ) block already, then you don't need to make the uncoloredArgMorph.

blockspec:

(' %z as decimal' #r #decimalOf:)

code:

decimalOf: t1
'1/2' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.5'].
'1/3' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.333333333'].
'1/4' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.25'].
'1/5' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.2'].
'1/6' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.666666666'].
'1/7' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.1428'].
'1/8' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.125'].
'1/9' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.111111111'].
'1/10' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.1'].

new scratch blocks i made:

blockspec:

Code:

('if online then stop' #- #ifOnlineThenStop)

code:

Code:

ifOnlineThenStop
| t1 t2 t3 |
t1_t2

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:

stepTime
^ 0.1

and

step
self evaluateCondition ifTrue: [self start]

blockspec:

('' #W #-)

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

DROPDOWN VERSION OF:

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

$Q = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #dateTime;
choice: 'date'].

Scratch objects> scriptableScratchMorph> sensingOps:

dateTime
^ #('date' 'short date' 'time' 'seconds' 'minutes' 'hours' 'day')

new blockspec:

('get %Q' #r #getTime: 'date')

blockspec:

(' %z as decimal' #r #decimalOf:)

code:

decimalOf: t1
'1/2' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.5'].
'1/3' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.333333333'].
'1/4' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.25'].
'1/5' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.2'].
'1/6' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.666666666'].
'1/7' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.1428'].
'1/8' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.125'].
'1/9' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.111111111'].
'1/10' = t1 ifTrue: [^ '.1'].

if you have the (1/2 of ( ) ) block already, then you don't need to make the uncoloredArgMorph.

roll here we go again. first, watch this

then, for blockspecs, go to
scratch-objects->scriptableScratchMorph->(class)blockSpecs->blockSpecs.
for code, go to
scratch-objects->scriptableScratchMorph->(instance) then the corresponding ops.

scimonster · 2011-06-12 10:21:11

I queued them for now.

OMG! TheSuccessor just gave me an idea!
I have a new block...

Blockspec
('stop all scripts for %m' #- #stopAllScriptsFor: 'Stage')

Code:

stopAllScriptsFor: t1 
t1 stopAllMine

You first have to make the code that TheSuccessor made. e.g.

Code:

stopAllMine
    self scripts do: [:t1 | t1 stop]

I don't have time to add it plus it might be better if we just save up blocks for a bigger update than just 1 block. tongue

I think you might have to do this instead for the method:

Code:

stopAllScriptsFor: t1
(self coerceSpriteArg: t1) stopAllMine

The sprite name could be a string, so we have to use coerceSpriteArg: to make it a sprite.

Without my block, just do this:

Code:

stopAllScriptsFor: t1
(self coerceSpriteArg: t1) scripts do: [:t1 | t1 stop]

This is awesome. Thanks for the help. Also, any chance you could help me convert panther code (the ops, not the blockspecs) into scratch syntax? Thank you!!! smile

Rocker98585 · 2011-06-13 06:33:24

Can I request a block? okay i dont know to to make the block work, but i can do the block spec.

Code:

 ('%n + %n = %n' #b #number+number2')

scimonster · 2011-06-13 06:42:12

I think the spec should be:

('%n + %n = %n' #b #num:plus:equals: 2 2 4)

Code:

num: t1 plus: t2 equals: t3
^ t1 + t2 = t3

Off the top of my head; untested.

No problem! There is a list of Scratch arguments with their Panther counterpart and a brief description of their operation on this wiki page! I put this together a while back as a tutorial, the list is under the "Arguments" section smile

Thanks to nXIII for the original list!

@ProgrammingFreak
You can use "asUTF8" to convert it into a sprite value, can't you?

ssss · 2011-06-13 07:05:04

Hi sparks, I was wonderring if you could help me make a random block generator. What it would do is find a block on the Local block library, and display it. All credit would be given of course, but is it doable?

sparks · 2011-06-13 07:05:09

I thought I'd shared this one but I don't see it in the library!

Code:

$Number$ minutes in hours

Code:

|t2 t3 t4|

t2_ t1/60.
t2_ t2 floor.
t3_ t1 \\ 60 .

t3_ t2 asString, '.', t3 asString.

^t3

displays minutes as hours! Very useful for where showing the time in minutes after an hour looks stupid!

Isn't that backwards? I though "asUTF8" made it a string. hmm

You're right, I'm sorry! I used it to make a <touching[ ]> block where the sprite name could be typed as they were clone names and dissapeared from the list when you clicked stop - leaving a black argument!
