Thanks, sci, that's cool! I've emailed lightnin but am still waiting for a response

Hey, I was wondering how complicated it would be to get panther blocks for my own MySQL server?  (Directly with something like libMySQL, not the html interface way?)

Thanks!

I'm guessing it would be rather difficult, but I could be wrong.

You give me hope  .

I'm just trying to be realistic...

I'm don't want realistic, I want possible, and to know if it will be faster, and If I can get around the error message I keep getting on JD1's server.

It would be possible, but perhaps slightly difficult. Just make sure you can have lots of connections!

Sci is right, It would be possible for me to set up an external connection for you to the database giving you read-only permissions for safety. Why do you want it?

I believe he wants to remake those blocks connecting to a new server, since the cloud storage got used too much, and the host didn't allow that many connections.

You're never supposed to use two accounts.    Or a joint account.
In the elections I mean. xD

I'm planning to host my own database, for my own global variables. I want to connect to it directly with libMySQL or the like.

Really, the specifics don't matter, but:
1) I want the blocks to be as fast as possible.  If the blocks go through html, to the database, and back to the html, which returns to the block, It would presumably be slower if the block goes directly to the database, which returns to the block. Right?
2) I want to authenticate securely: as in no "&pass=1 in url, but still using some sort of authentication. Is that possible?

Thanks!

New block!      #CREDIT TO MY DAD#

blockspec:
('Make me 3D with X spacing of costume: %n and Y spacing of costume: %n with %n thickness ' #- #X:Y:Thickness:)

X: t1 Y: t2 Thickness: t3 
    | t4 |
    t3
        timesRepeat: 
            [(t4 _ self ownerThatIsA: ScratchStageMorph) ifNotNil: [t4 stampCostume: self].
            self referencePosition: self referencePosition + (t1 @ t2)]

What this block does
The block will make the sprite 3D.

Hmm, an interesting idea... It would take the colour of the point you specify and fill in all of that colour surrounding? I don't know if it's possible but it's a good idea. Tomorrow I am free, and I've decided that's a good excuse for me to go ahead and do a proper update for the library!

Oh yes, sorry. The problem with your database idea is that the database isn't mine, it belongs to the Scratch team, and they would probably not be too happy about a direct-read connection 

It appears there is no difference at all between the blocks, I shall combine them!

I've just realised that if I won't be able to do an update tomorrow if lightnin hasn't approved the blocks.scratchr.org site for image hosting...

Okay, so it's 9:45 am here and I have a day off. I'm skyping with lightnin in about four hours about the CM position, so I'll take that opportunity to remind him to ALLOW images from blocks.scratchr.org. In the meantime I'm going to set up an image uploader page for librarians on the blocks site so we can start porting all images to that host. I've decided to make most of today a block library day to tidy things up etc. I'll be experimenting with the SQL on the site again too, to see if I can get a consistent connection. Any librarians who are free today, I would appreciate some help porting the images!
