Blocks With Workarounds
I am not sure which forum this belongs in so please move it if it is in the wrong one.
Post workarounds for blocks that exist (therefore making them useless).
My entry:
change [variable v] by (1)can be worked around like this:
set [variable v] to <<variable>+(1)>
Useless Blocks
change [variable v] by (1)
Please post more.

Re: Blocks With Workarounds
Why make it more complicated? Workaronds are harder to implement, complicating things for new users. The ST isn't going to implement a block just so you don't need the workaround, but they also aren't going to take stuff out just because there is a workaround. It would, however, be an interestin guide.

Why are the secret organizations getting all the attention?

Re: Blocks With Workarounds
There is a list of workarounds here on the wiki. It's amazing how people can make workarounds for some blocks, especially re-creating variables and lists.

Re: Blocks With Workarounds
OK, I'll play...
"Forever if" can be worked around like this:
forever
if <(turn) = [1]>
go to [mouse-pointer v]
end
end
Makes the "forever if" block redundant.
forever if <(turn) = [1]>
go to [mouse-pointer v]
end
Animated sigs must be banned!

Re: Blocks With Workarounds
Since there is a comprehensive wiki on this subject this topic doesn't need to be here anymore.
