Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

I think that, like in Scratch 1.4, you should be able click and drag custom blocks from one sprite to another, just like you can allready do with costumes and sounds on version 1.4.

A cistom block I would use is <if(<( wait <=> 3 )>)>

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

Instead of adding blocks, why not have a feature called "condense and upload scripts"  that, when selected, would let you select, condense (make into one,)  name, and upload a script as a single block!  This would have another section of the website.

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

Have it so you can post your block for people to put in the block folder. Lets say there is a block I want but I dont feel like coding it, someone else could post the block and we could download it.!

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

It should be like variables, you can set the custom block to be for all sprites, or just one sprite.

True. And soon Catch! will have it too. But more closer than Scratch's BYOB counterpart.

well, not a block FOLDER, so much as a block tab on scratch called "user made" that accesses the internet.  you can search and use blocks from directly within scratch!

My question is WHY?

A variable is only being used for one project, but anything I'm bothering to make a block I probably want to keep, making it local to a single sprite means that's the only one I have a use for it, so making them local isn't very practical.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Maybe you have two different blocks in two different sprites, with the same name and input slots, but with different scripts.  Then a global block could (if they make this work right) invoke that block-name and get whichever script is appropriate for the sprite that's using it.

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

So, will there be function definition within the script itself?  Can functions take multiple arguments?

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

People should be able to choose the color of their costom blocks. They would like that. I should make a mockup.

I like the idea. It sounds like we will be able to create more advanced projects.

Re: Scratch 2.0 Progress Report: Create your own block

That is so awesome. One of the big positives about this is making huge complicated scripts easier to understand. It will also reduce lag in the scratch enviroment.

I heard that this update uses .sb2 files, and I'm not sure, but I think the .sb files were not compatible with the preview version. Will that be fixed?
