Script-X -- an adventure in scripting you won't forget

The Link

Script-X is a slideshow showing how to script blocks in different ways. For example,

move (10) steps
might turn into
change x by (([sin v] of (direction)) * [x]) // for the [x] in these (continued below)
change y by (([cos v] of (direction)) * [x]) // put in the wanted # of steps
With cool music and images of the blocks with explanations, this tutorial can show you numerous variations on scratch blocks we use in most of our projects.

Thanks!

Well, I've had several thoughts about this project concerning that question - one, it's kind of hard to simplify the blocks already there, because they're probably as simple as they can get. Second, I agree with 777w, who said this could be useful for people moving on to more advanced programming languages, since some of the complicated scripts are similar to ways more advanced languages may write them.

Lastly, I thought it would be cool to share my ways of complicating with everyone!  smile

Thanks for asking!  big_smile

Edit: I just realized you were registered exactly 2 months before me! xD
