Cmpm, not to rush you, but in percents, how far are you. I just want the people who are seeing the website can get an overview on how much longer.

I'm about 10 percent done with the whole thing. I'm just uploading the beta version when I add about 10 more blocks (most likely today). So far I have added 44 blocks.
EDIT: Could you make the website more detailed? It's a bit generic.

Well, you used the basic design. Maybe you could make it a little more vivid

Download source code
Two slight errors:
1) could not get the logo to update
2) some blocks still don't work
Keep in mind that this is in it's earliest stage.
Please open this with Squeak or it will not work.

Here is a tip to loading source codes at ease:
1)download squeak
2)download any source code
3)right-click the source code
4)click properties
5)somewhere it will say "opens with (file)"
6)change the file it opens with to squeak
Now whenever you click on it is automatically opens!

It is very nice. I love some of the new blocks you have added.

Oh, joletole, did you see the variable dropdown?

can i come up with ideas for blocks?

I edited the Wiki page, it's a bit more up-to-date now.

Okay, what type of new blocks do you think we should add?

hide list [list v]

How about:

[[show v] list [list v]]

('%B list %L' #- #hideShow:List: 'show' 'list')

The second one would be the block spec. The first one would be the appearance. %B would be a custom menu (hide/show)
Hmm... scratchblocks didn't work. I'll make it look like a string so you can at least see the elements.

I didn't, I even made that the default.

I'm going to summarize block specs before I release the next version (so you can rename them without messing them up).
Both left and right parenthesis must be around the block spec.
()
Then add apostrophes fitting the name.
('move %n steps')
Then define the blocks shape ( a "-" is stack, a "r" is reporter, and a "b" is boolean. Those are the basic ones.)
('move %n steps' #-)
The number sign is important to put before the symbol. Now to define what block it uses (located in the system browser) Note: this must not be changed.
('move %n steps' #- #forward:)
You must also put a number sign before the name of the block.
Now to add defaults. A string must have apostrophes, numbers are left alone.
('move %n steps' #- #forward: 10)
That is your move () steps block!
Now to define what the percentages are used for (highly relevant).
You should put a % before the letters (cAsE sEnSeTiVe)
a = volume
A = arithmetic insert new
b = boolean insert
B = hide/show new
c = color selector (w/ pallete)
C = color selector (dropper tool)
d = direction menu
D = MIDI drums menu
e = broadcast menu
E = text modifiers new
f = math function names (abs, sqrt, etc.)
g = graphic effect names
H&h = sensor functions H = reporter h = boolean
I = MIDI instruments menu
i = list index (%n, last, any)
k = key names
L = lists
l = costume names
m = list of sprites
M = motor options
n = number expression (#- is blank, otherwise if left blank it is set as 10)
N = note selector (MIDI)
o = true/false new
s = string expression (default is blank)
S = sound names
v = variable names
W = motor direction
x = scene names
y = list deletion (%n, last, any)

I will update this as I add more dropdowns and such.
