New Scratch Forum Blocks

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  smile

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  smile

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

Re: New Scratch Forum Blocks

Wow! We have been testing this plugin on a wiki for about a month now, and I'm proud to say that it's released! I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any questions about how it works, be sure to check out the block syntax page, or just ask me.  smile

Re: New Scratch Forum Blocks

Wow. good. The blocks were getting old.

It will make the "Helping With Scripts" forum way better because it will be easier to explain scripts.

Nice job!

Legitimately. Even though I've already seen it. It looks better on the forums, though.  smile

When flag clicked
Set (steve are you back to stay?) to <pick random 1 to 2>

When flag clicked
If (steve are you back to stay?) = 1
say [Yes!]

When flag clicked
If (steve are you back to stay?) = 2
say [No.]
Another words, I'm thinking about it.

when gf clicked
repeat until <key [space v] pressed?>
  say [press space to abort me.]
end
say []

Make it in Scratch! because it's cooler when it's made in scratch

Re: New Scratch Forum Blocks

Please do not clog up this thread with experiments with the blocks  smile  You can leave a message that contributes to the thread and experiment by editing it (you could have blocks below), or just use joren.tk/blocks/pluginlab.htm (preferred).

Thanks!

Re: New Scratch Forum Blocks

Will this eventually apply to the TBG too? I know it's not that important in a gaming sense, but...  tongue
