Scratch

@Jens & bharvey
Congratulations for the new features (When I'm clicked, When Key pressed, Touching, Key pressed, Duplicate sprites (with duplication of the script area), etc It works fine for the moment (except that Numeric Pad keys are not recognized, this problem existsing allready for Byob)

True.  So, just think about the JOIN WORDS example.

well it would have to look different

Yeah.  Feel free to post a suggested picture...

Thanks, Xavier. It's just that I'm really impatient and that some things are coming together and start making sense. I love this project stage, it's like origami when you flip a sheet of folded paper and suddenly you see the swan :-)

1 - When I create a long word of successive numbers (to store initials of drawing commands) after a while the "word" is lost and replaced by Infinity". I Understand the reason behind this (even for the German language there is a word length limit), but this limitation did not exist for Scratch/Byob (see my GO..GO Scratch project as an example)
2 - A command "function" is restricted to Local. The other sprites cannot access to it.

@Jens & bharvey
1 - xly said "the "word" is lost and replaced by Infinity". Sorry for misunderstanding. The problem does not occur when the successive added character is a letter. If the word is made of number characters , "word" is considered as being a number and as such has a length limit.
2 - xly said "2 - A command "function" is restricted to Local "
Nevertheless this function local (FOO) to say Turtle, can be run from any other sprite, if Turtle defines a "global" method variable set to THE SCRIPT C-Shape + FOO. So FOO can be run from any other Sprite , but commands only this Turtle.

I used some of BYOB's cloning and launching functions to create a crazy error creator, which clones at different, random places every time it's started. I know it'd be better to stamp it, but it's a good go at BYOB features.

The execution time could be improved. 
Loading a palette is quite slow. I also sometimes get errors saying the script (morphic.js usually) has become unresponsive.

[letter 123 of 'Hello'] doesn't throw anything 
some clearer message?

Actually, I was refering to if we could create blocks the shape of [the script], not having those inputs.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not having those inputs."  You mean, you want a C-shaped block that doesn't include the "Input names" option?  Because "the shape of [the script] is otherwise just a plain C-shaped block.  You can make a block that has one C-shaped input and in its definition, put the variable oval from the prototype into a THE SCRIPT block.  If that's not what you mean, you'll have to draw me a picture or something.

There aren't any bumps or things on the top or bottom of [the script], so I want to be able to kind of make rectangular blocks like [the script]. It'd prevent a few issues, too.
