Maybe some really good programmer could make a tempory block library not on the forums, but completely new site. You could Copy/paste code and use sparks' bbcode code to make it bbcode, so you won't have to rewrite it all again 

We were working on a proper website, blocks.scratchr.org.

Yeah, sorry, I was suddenly in Switzerland and I never got round to setting it up    We can do an Easter one though!

Should we add a link to the images plugin in the main post?

Ooh, Ooh, I have a request. I would like a text to binary, and a binary to text block.

maybe checking if the R/G/B components are in the same ratio as each other?

can you make the block for me... i don't know how to do ratio...

well  if a/b = c/d then a and b are in the same ratio as c and d. Also you need to prevent a divide by zero error. I am not very good with sqeak though.

put the files in a folder
put a file with this code into your desktop:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Panther
Comment= Programming language for kids
Exec=/usr/bin/scratch_squeak_vm -plugins /usr/lib/scratch/Plugins -vm-sound-pulse pathToYourImageFile.image
Terminal=false
Type=Application

assuming you have scratch installed 

no i don't have scratch installed i used the scratch.image because it takes too long to download

The definition of ratio: a comparison of two integers. Like 20% male and 80% female in a set of data.

When will the http://blocks.scratchr.org/ site be finished?

ok i installed Scratch and put that in a file but how to i execute it? it shows up in gedit instead of running Panther

right click => peoperties => permissions => allow executing as a program 

yeah i tried that it didn't work... i figured that it has to have a .desktop extension i got it to work now

Trocket was kind enough to suggest a solution to the problem I was having with the site a few days ago and I have next week of Uni so I will try out his suggestion and see if development can get underway again soon 

Hey! Is there any way to make a download and import block, or just a download file block? (in Panther)

You mean download from the internet? You could try giving the file URL to the block, setting the contents of the file to a variable, creating a file on the local disk with the same format as the file and then writing the contents of your variable to it... no idea if it'll work, though.

Hmm...

I sort of wanted a download and import block...
