Scratch

It could be like in variables: "Create block for all sprites" " Create block for this sprite only".

Why not just include a local or global option like with variables and lists when the blocks are defined?  If blocks are defined as global they can maybe then be moved to a collapsible header or footer in every sprites script area.

Interesting idea - I kind of like it! Care to make a mockup that shows how this might look?

I can make one.

I made a mockup on how Scratch could look like if we do incorporate a BYOB-type situation with Scratch 2.0. See it here.

Fabulous! As this post would suggest, something BYOB-like is going to be in 2.0, but it might not be quite as extensive as BYOB. 

I thought I heard somewhere that was going to be in 2.0    Actually, now that I think of it, I think I read the suggestion on the Suggestions page that would put in collapse-able blocks.

WHY would it only appear in one sprite? The default blocks don't only appear in one sprite and a block should extend past on block before the script becomes important enough to be a block.

Check it out, and then join in the discussion about the best way to do 'Create your own block' in Scratch 2.0 here:

Create your own block blog post wrote:

We’re still in the process of figuring out the best way for Scratchers to create their own blocks, and there are still many questions. For example, if you create a jump block in one sprite, would other sprites be able to use the jump block too? Should the definition script appear in only one sprite -- and, if so, how would people find it? Should you be able to define “jump” differently in different sprites? These are few of the questions we have to think through before we’re ready to put this cool feature in the next version of Scratch.

A way it could be done is through a separate program that can read squeak code and has easy and advanced ways to create blocks based on squeak on what it can do. (scratches code) that appear in scratch the next time its started. Even better is a program that does all this within scratch without a separate program.

this sounds great!

Yes, yes, by right-clicking the block and adding "see block definition" to the drop-down menu (which opens a window with the script in it), and no.

Awesome cant wait!!!

Awesome... For my Angry Birds Scratch project, I could make a 'slingshot' block... No need to copy scripts... And I could get a slingshot block from someone else to help...

A question... Can you make it 'slingshot from (sprite drop down list)' block? Or is it a limitation?

Scratch is a great programming software for beginner programmers.
The option that might totally satisfy me in Scratch 2.0, is not a block... It's hard to explain ; but try, for exemple, with this version of Scratch, to create a chess game ! Some games (in 2D) with a grid can't be done with this version of Scratch...

I've actually seen a pretty good chess simulation, I'll see if I can find the link...

When scratch 2.0 comes i'll build theese blocks:

send [  ]
fly [  ] pixels
if on [edge v ] fly
if on [edge v ] jump
if on [edge v ] send [  ]
if on [edge v ] [increase v ] [variable v ]
if on [edge v ] [delete v ] [  ] from [list v ]
if on [edge v ] broadcast [item to brodcast v ]
ask [type what to send] and send
eat [sprite v ]
mini game
