BBT(Basic Block Toolbox)

I'm making a mod called BBT(Basic Block Toolkit). I aim to add most of the highly useful blocks that many scratchers miss, like the exponent block and the

<[_ v] received >  
block. Any tips?

Re: BBT(Basic Block Toolbox)

Use the source code and don't ever name your variables t1.

Sorry if this question sounds silly, but how do you access mesh after enabling it? I'm using the source code.

Re: BBT(Basic Block Toolbox)

I belive it should be in the Extras menu.
Wait.. Scratchsource1.4 doesn't have that.
Derp?

Re: BBT(Basic Block Toolbox)

I think you can access Mesh in the Scratch GUI once it is enabled by shift-clicking on the Extra's menu, laser314. If it's not that one, try shift clicking the others!

There isn't an Extras menu on the ScratchSource version, and I haven't found Mesh in any of the other menus...

I can't find an Extras menu... If I knew what 'menu' here was defined as

Code:

addServerCommandsTo: menu

Then I could change which menu you access mesh.

Mabye you can make your OWN menu for mesh, much like in Panther!

I'm a bit of a noob at squeak. If I knew how Panther did it, I might be able to do it.

Re: BBT(Basic Block Toolbox)

No idea where anyone is getting the "Extras" menu from. I'm pretty sure you Shift-Click the 'Share' menu to get the Mesh options. After enabling it of course.

This is for the ScratchSource version of Scratch, which doesn't have the 'Share' menu.

I belive 'menu' is the argument variable, and I belive it would be easier to just make your own button and menu, like in Panther.

I put it in the Edit menu. All I had to do  was type

Code:

self addServerCommandsTo: menu.

into the editMenu morph.
