A featured block sounds like a great idea! And yes, I'll be working some more on the site over the summer smile One thing I was thinking to have was a love-it system for blocks, so maybe that could be something shown on the homepage too?

scimonster · 2012-05-28 14:48:42

If that idea had the button, i'd press it.

Requesting a scratch stack command block:

 set cursor to [wait v]

with these inputs: write, wait, up, top right, top left, stamp, square, right arrow, resize horizontally, resize corner, read, question mark, paint bucket, origin, normal, move, marker, hand open, hand closed, eyedropper, execute, crosshair, corner, bottom right, bottom left, blank, and wait. I know the code for changing the cursor, [ Cursor nameGoesHere show ]

It would probably be better to do a string argument...do you mind if I use one instead of a dropdown?

What is so bad about drop-down lists? It makes things easier if you forgot what the cursor is called.

Or use ExpressionOrArgMorph for a dropdown which accepts reporter drop-ins. wink

I never knew that was possible lol.

Check out the [switch to costume [... v]] block...

williambl · 2012-05-30 04:15:32

Has anyone decided the input? I think a dropdown that accepts reporters would be good.

scimonster · 2012-05-30 07:32:16

ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph is usually the best choice. tongue

What's an arg letter that hasn't been used yet? tongue

hey guys, I was doing some thinking and you know the graphic filters, could we try to implement a sound filters block? I think it would be a good idea but what do you all say?

I'll come up with a block spec but, I am not going to be able to come up with the code

Lol, I'm amazed the recursive tree hasn't been added to BYOB pen yet. Or motion path. I'd add, but idk how to get an image of the scripts in the block editor.
EDIT:
Okay, it was just being glitchy. Got it to work. Here's tree, I might upload motion paths some other time. If anyone's curious to see the full effect of the tree block, I have a project called Symetree that demonstrates it found here.
Block Image:

Script:

Lol, lots of inputs. All to draw a stupid tree.

I'm currently creating a block that alters a sound's pitch. smile

EDIT: Here it is. Note: It permanently changes a sound's pitch. If anyone would be willing to try to fix that, I would be very grateful. It also doesn't wait for the sound to end--help would be appreciated.

('play sound %S at frequency %n' #- #playSound:Frequency:)

Code:

playSound: t1 atFrequency: t2 
    SoundPlayer playSound: ((self soundNamed: t1 ifAbsent: [^ self]) sound pitch: t2)

Scratch-Objects > ScriptableScratchMorph > blocks > defaultArgsFor:

Add right before the last line (^ t2):

Code:

#playSound:atFrequency: = t4
        ifTrue: 
            [t6 _ self soundNames.
            t2 _ t6 size <= 2
                        ifTrue: [Array with: '']
                        ifFalse: [Array with: (t6 at: t6 size - 2)]].

I'm working on that. Check out 'expanding scratch sound' on the forums. First I will enable stereo (this is going pretty well). Then I'll add new blocks.

great, you know the graphic filters? well a. there are actually a few hiiden ones pointalize... b. did they come with sqeak or made by st?

Cool! Does it change the tempo or keep it the same?

It's sounds, not notes. Do you mean the duration? (It does make them longer, and it seems to overwrite the original sound).

sparks · 2012-06-01 09:47:28

Yeah, I understood that it was sounds. What I meant was, one way to change the pitch of a sound is to speed it up (increases the tempo) so that everything gets higher and faster. However the harder thing to do is to change the pitch without changing the speed.

Yeah, this changes the speed. I recommend trying the meow sound between 50-100 though! (400 is normal.) MMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW.........

try using a little multiplication to make the numbers more sensible to users.
