Scratch

Isn't the end bit of a c-block supposed to be the same length as the top bit?

if <really really really long boolean>
 say [short end part]
end
say [shouldn't it be the same length?]

Yeah, it should, but it's technical limitations...

Could we have a shorter tag name, like just [sb]?

Hey Scratchers!

We have just replaced the ancient forum blocks with a new 'plugin' I've been developing for a while.

You can now write out scripts between [scratchblocks][/scratchblocks] tags. It uses a syntax that is supposed to look very similar to the real scratch blocks. It will probably all become a whole lot clearer after looking at the example below 

More help on how to use the plugin is available on this wiki page.

If you find any bugs that are not yet listed here, please report them on this forum thread. Thanks!

Please do not spam this thread with your blocks experiments; I encourage you to practice your forum block skills but please do so here for now 

Code:

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
  go to [mouse-pointer v]
  point in direction (pick random (-180) to (180))
  repeat until <touching [edge v] ?>
    move (2) steps
  end
  wait (1) secs
end
think [Woah! New scripts in the forums!] for (2) secs

when green flag clicked
repeat (10)
  go to [mouse-pointer v]
  point in direction (pick random (-180) to (180))
  repeat until <touching [edge v] ?>
    move (2) steps
  end
  wait (1) secs
end
think [Woah! New scripts in the forums!] for (2) secs

 when green flag clicked
forever
say [this is epik]
say [but hard to use]
end

Would it be possible to add another one, but that allows you to define the parameters?  (i.e. [customblocks]"'blockspec' in 'category'"[/customblocks] )  That would allow us to bring back the Block Library to those who don't install the Antidote...

This is an idea that we considered during development. However, we did not proceed as we felt it would take too much of our resources to add, for a feature that only a small section of the forum and wiki articles would use.

I don't see how it would be too difficult.  All you have to do is tell it to set the color based on 'category', and parse the blockspec just like it already does.

 <See? [It] (already) [parses  v] blockspecs!>

I still wish there was somewhere where we could find out how to produce ALL the blocks though.

Is this not good enough? D:

Sometimes, I don't want to open Scratch just to look at the whole name of the block. For example, most of us have forgotten that there is a "?" after "touching color".

There's a "?" after most, if not all, booleans.

when key [qwerty] pressed
think [Don't make lemonade!]
make lemonade anyway

Maybe the ? should be optional for booleans

And the % sign for those that have.

What problem is that?

You know, if you want to test the blocks, it would be preferred to not submit the text.

Instead of using quick-post, choose "Post reply" and Preview your post. When you're done experimenting, go back.
