Scratch

The beta version of Dream can be tested downloaded: http://www.mediafire.com/?fe8bojrcd8n87ry
I will have a website, in fact, I'm working on it in iWeb.

February 26th

I need some help with a few errors in my copy of the source code.

Put the link to download in the OP. Wait, when you're a a Scratcher do that.


What operating system?

I'm actually new to the forums so, what's the OP? Anyways the download link on mediafire is a package containing the dream.image file and a bunch of folders and resources. It should work on all computers with scratch. btw Did you test the motor blocks?

OP = original post. My computer won't let dream work.

For the tabs, where in the browser?

I'm working on an 'import block' feature. This is, so far, going really good. I'm working on .block format. I'm just trying to adjust the blockspecs code to read from methods, as well.

Hello everybody, I am dreamod and I'm making a mod called Dream. I started yesterday and it is going to have lots of brand new features. It is made from scratch, but I have taken a few elements from other scratch mods, crediting them respectively, and I would like to let you know a little about this mod.

A lot of mods are boring. I won't name any examples as to not offend any users.
I intend to make this the ultimate mod. Panther is a really good mod, and I also think the mod Slash has some really cool features. However, they are not compatible. My goal is to sort of merge a few features from different mods and add new features.

tell me, is it ok if you can use a bit of my coding from my mod " star truss"?

Cool can you post your code on your website?

Pls add a compiler

could you try to add a compiler like the soft dev one, where it acts like a real application?
Like you can save it as a completed project and then it saves as a different type and when you double click it's icon it opens the game, presses the green flag, and puts it in full screen? i know you have a reader that does that, but this is specific to one game and doesn't have a menu.
p.s. do you make it for mac?
p.p.s. when can i download the first version?
p.p.p.s. how do you add a new category?

thanks!

I could try. I'm a mac user so, of course its for macs. I have temporarily withheld development for dream but will continue. Adding new categories is done in rebuildCategorySelectors in ScratchVeiewerMorph. Rememeber to add the category images to the skin. With the compiler i think I could make it so that it saves a new image and application for the project. How about that?

cool! thanks! I can't wait to use it! I'm making a mod of my own, called Holly MeatBall, But I'm not very good with smalltalk, or squeak, or whatever the language is called. I've added only a few new blocks. It will probably never be released publicly, I just do it for fun. It's weird, before I Ever read any thing about this, I already had a mouse down menu exactly the same as yours, even in that same order. The way I got the Idea of the app style compiler is that I read about another mod that had it, I would Have downloaded it just for the compiler, but i couldn't use it because it was for an earlier version of scratch. Is the compiler completely separate, or is it in the source code? If it was separate, one could use it for regular scratch projects and still upload them. The only mod I use, other than when I test my own mod, is panther. BYOB doesn't have any new functions, so anything on Holy Meatball could also be made in scratch. That always frustrates me, and then I have to make a scratch friendly version, and i eventually stopped using it. I don't like making things public, which is why i'm not publicizing BYOB and why I rarely post scratch projects. I don't like making things public because I have to credit like 100 different people or else they get mad. I ow so many credits because i download many, many projects and learn from them all. If Holy Meatball does get released, it will only be the image. I don't want to have to get rid of all the copywriter stuff in the folder. My mod is for experienced scratchers anyway. I added one function:

(map ( ) from min: ( ) max: ( ) to min: ( ) max: ( )) 

(map (5) from min: (0) max: (10) to min: (10) max: (20))

map: t1 fromMin: t2 Max: t3 toMin: t4 Max: t5
   ^(t1 - t2) * (t5 - t4) / (t3 - t2) + t4

and the blockspec:

('map %n from min: %n max: %n to min: %n max: %n' #r #map:fromMin:Max:toMin:Max: 5 0 10 10 20 )

put the method in other ops in scriptableScratchMorph and the bloc spec in 'operators' of the block specs in scriptableScratchMorph.

I have so far been working on holy meatball through the shift-click R hack, but now I just downloaded the source code. Can I continue to work on it through the official downloaded source code, or do I have to either start over in the source or just continue using the hack?

You'll have to start over. The official non source release does not have a changeset. However you could've done it the other way around
