Need a Scratch patch
Can someone write something which broadcasts the text "command-[methodname]" whenever a block is evaluated?

Re: Need a Scratch patch
Got it!
It's a two-line patch, so I'll just dictate it to you.
Navigate to Scratch-Blocks > CommandBlockMorph (instance) > evaluation > evaluateWithArgs:
Declare the variable "stage" at the top.
After the special cases section, so before the very last line of code, add the following:
(stage _ self receiver ownerThatIsA: ScratchStageMorph).
stage broadcast: self selector.
It might not be the best way, but it's definitely the quickest

Oh, the code above only broadcasts the selector. If you want it to broadcast the 'command-' bit too, just concatenate it with a comma.

I did spend quite a bit of time developing Bingo, so I got accustomed with Squeak. Now these challenges are actually quite fun

Why do you need this? It seems like and odd thing to broadcast.
My guess? He's working on a language within Scratch and is using broadcasts to trigger different blocks...
Nah, something for my iOS to Scratch connector.

I have no idea how much Squeak I know....
I just know my understanding of it is raising each time I develop Kitcat.
