Obsolete blocks, ready to be used again!

I HAVE FOUND BLOCKS WHICH WERE REMOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Albeit the comment block is missing.........


A complete list of obsolete blocks:
•Abs (as a standalone)
•Sqrt (as a standalone)
•Rewind sound [         ]
•Point away from edge
•Glide x:( ) y:( ) in ( ) secs
•Change costume by ( )
•Change background by ( )
•Change Stretch by ( )
•Set Stretch to ( )
•Say nothing
•Change visibility by ( ) (now ghost)
•Set visibility to ( )
•Change saturation by ( )
•Set saturation to ( )
•Change pointillize drop by ( ) (I am clueless bout what this does)
•Set pointillize drop to ( )
•Change water ripple by ( )
•Set water ripple to ( )
and finally
•Change blur by ( )
•Set blur to ( )


I wish these blocks were back, it would be nice to see what we could do with these. For example, I made a flag sprite, and set the center of rotation to the pole, and did the water ripple effect, and it looked like the flag was waving!!!

Scratch team, could you please consider adding these in 1.3?

For those of you who know how to squeak-hack, the code for these blocks is below, in case you wish to try them for yourselves. They have already been declared as methods, so adding them might take like 2 minutes per.

Enjoy!

Save it to the desktop, then just drag it onto teh Scratch icon. I am assuming you made an icon for it, otherwise right click it and go send to > Scratch

Try following Jens' project Flip, and coding these in. Ignore the declaring as a method part.

I have 1 folder for everything, and when I drag the sourcecodeimage onto the Scratch icon, it opens up Scratch not squeak… wait, no! I gotta put that back on my dock! Nevermind

Um, yeah no. I have the sourcecode.image or whatever, and when I drag it into the Scratch icon (in the same subfolder) it goes to Scratch, not the Source Code

ok, when you click the Scratch icon you see: Help, locale, media projects, scratchsource 1.2.1, netscratch, scratch. Correct me if I am wrong here. You might not have the netscratch, though I am assuming you do. The sourcecode looks like a folder, cause it should have been one. Double click that, and open it as an image file. There ya go, if it is not there, I don't know what is wrong.....

Unless it actually plays it backwards. I mean, aren't these auto-rewind?

Re: Obsolete blocks, ready to be used again!

Thank you for sharing them on your site! Just curious, but how do you post a download? I have been trying to figure that out for quite some time now. I really want to be able to share my blocks that I make with other people, and want to make it easy for them to get, instead of just posting instructions. I will make a new topic about this.
