True. 

Whenever I try to run an edited "pigl" block (from the tools sprite), BYOB freezes up.
Here's a picture:



Is there anything obviously wrong with this?

Using word instead of #, I believe.

Hi, all.

I wanted to add another vote and possibly offer some time to create an "import from BYOB" workflow for Snap!  It looks like blob8108 and/or dreammod is already working on something like this?  A modded version of BYOB?

My problem is that I have a pretty hefty block library for BYOB 3.1, which causes the UI itself to become almost unusable on most students' laptops.  I could continue to fight the good fight in BYOB, but I figure now might be as good a time as any to move to Snap!  But I'd like to bring my blocks with me.  :-)

At a minimum, I can offer a complex Project file to use as a test case.

Cheers,
alloplastic

Dreamod is, I think — I'm not sure a Python converter is quite the thing    But I'm sure you and dreamod could share code, or something...

I'm working on an "export to snap!" feature in BYOB 3. I would love to collaborate, because I'm feeling a little lazy right now.

nXIII has written, but not completely debugged, a web-based converter.  n, any update on its status?

I'm still trying to find time to fix the bug you reported. I should be able to do it tomorrow if not today.

My teacher would like to know whether it's possible to "share" (as in, not uploading to the Scratch website but somewhere online) BYOB projects. Thanks in advance!

We are eventually going to have an upload site for Snap! with roughly the capabilities of the Scratch site.  Jens says private uploading by January, but I think he's being pessimistic.

Somehow related, could somebody please explain me how the catch/throw there is working?

Catch and throw are custom blocks in the tools library, so you can edit them to read the code.

Basically, catch uses call with continuation to remember what comes after it in the script from which it's called.  Throw uses the remembered continuation to jump out of whatever's going on, back to whatever comes after the catch.

The error in your code is that the first input to throw has to be a continuation -- you drag the orange variable oval from the catch into that slot.

As for the display bug, I'll leave that for Jens.

EDIT:  Did I understand your question correctly?  You've been very quiet.

Yay, more stuff to help me reverse-engineer Chinese. 

  I did figure out the Chinese for bathroom once; but promptly forgot due to the sheer squiggliness of the characters.

Yeah. "Ren" means "Man", right? (I figured that out by staring at subway signs in Hong Kong). Also, I think exit is double-trident+square.
