API/SDK for creating new Blocks?
Hi,
I'm new to Scratch. I've searched the net but can't find many resources about creating new blocks. Is there an API for doing this? Is it a matter of writing Squeak or Smalltalk resources in a certain format? Or would I have to recompile the whole source to Scratch to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Re: API/SDK for creating new Blocks?
It requires some knowledge of Squeak Smalltalk to write new blocks for Scratch, but if you want procedures, you may want to try out BYOB, a mod(ification) that allows custom blocks. In fact, BYOB stands for "Build Your Own Blocks"!
If you mean new Smalltalk blocks, I recommend you check out the Block Library, or use Scramble, an environment that lets you easily create new blocks.
