Ok, Programmer_112:  Turn the broadcast x and wait into custom blocks, if you know what I mean.  That's your assignment.

I assume you mean use Scratch 2.0 to make these blocks.  If not, please correct me.

Yes.

Should have asked this earlier.  Clarification:  the wait until block or the wait [] seconds block?

OK.  I got the new broadcast block here.  It is about 4 times as fast as the old one, but not fully fleshed out yet.
Sorry, it doesn't work because the custom blocks don't do anything.  I will research this phenomenon.

I meant something else.      Ok, here goes my [scratc[]hblocks] attempt:

broadcast [broadcast v] and wait

Convert those into custom procedures.

Sorry, I thought you meant do them separately.  I'll get those to work, although I think I'll need to use a string instead of a list of broadcasts.

I just had an idea (though I'm not part of the collab), but how about after List OS, you try making a command line computer, like Commadore 64?

A command line OS is precisely what we're making. 

Though some more actual computer characteristics would be interesting to implement. A BASIC interpreter would be a great one to try, for that matter 

@Firedrake, what do we need custom broadcast blocks for?

Yes, but what for?

Does the new block work?

We should actually start rebuilding List OS in 2.0, before determining whether we'll really need the speed that a custom broadcast block can provide.

(Plus, it's often best to get the concept clear first and optimize later, in any programming language    )

Programmer_112, you can remix this project - it has the command line and a settings screen already done. New core apps (i.e. coded in Scratch) shall be made as separate sprites, for the sake of keeping our code clean.

Other than the cloud apps, which we won't be able to work in for a long time, what core apps do we need? I think we should focus in our custom programming language, ListScript. Simple apps, such as calculators, could be written in this language instead of Scratch. And users could write and distribute their own apps.

awh, that's a shame D:

I was working a bit in ListScript myself. I decided not to remix CheeseyCheese100's project (link to it a few pages back), but I'm being heavily inspired by it so I'm giving him/her credit in the documentation anyway :3

Nice so far c:

I got another version done, but I'm too lazy to post a link right now

Yes, it is merciless.  Hope you get better soon!

Ok, sojmewhat back.  WHat have we done so far?
