Please don't stray off of the topic. I'll answer your question anyway... When you go to your scroll, hit "generate incubator".

Anyways, illusionist, this looks great! Might I suggest these?

Code:

Variables:

[Set variable "  " to ( )]
[Change variable "  " by ( )]
[Hide variable "  "]
[Show variable "  "]

Too lazy to put anything else...

Re: Text-Based Scratch

whoa that's cool, really cool actually, but sadly it isn't worth anything since it doesn't run faster or contain more actions, but it's pretty neat to know scratch can do that

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Awesome! I normally thought that it would be impossible to program, but when you put it like that, there seems to be a slim chance...

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Oh... now that it's shown like that, it actually makes sense. Still, it has those drawbacks as mentioned in a different suggestion.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Could you have a block called SPEAK that works a little like the SAY command ? You might also SET VOICE TO female/male etc.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

I have a suggestion on how comments would be displayed.

http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/6742/greenflagcomment.gif
Would result in this:

Code:

>whenFlagClicked< //0:1:Comment

The 0 means that the comment has minimum width.
The 1 shows that the comment is expanded, 0 would indicate a collapsed comment.

A floating comment would look like this:

Code:

//0:1:10:10:Comment/nNew line

The first and second values are the same as with the attached comment,
the third and fourth values store the X and Y position on the scripts pane.

Hmmm... but who can read that? a project made in text mode will download in text mode.

I don't know, the comments with their position values have to be implemented somehow, or else the comment positions would get lost and the commments would probably end up in the top left corner of the scripts pane if you switched between Text mode and Blocks mode.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

All those [go to x:() y:()], >When (x) Clicked< are good, but I think I have a better idea...

This'd be my text version of the sentence speaking loop of SentenceSynthesier:

Code:

whenIReceive ("PLAY")
{
    `iter` = 0;
    `length` = (lengthOf("LIST") + 1);
    `speaking?` = 1;
    repeatUntil `iter` == `length`
    {
        `currently speaking` = elementOf("Sentence", `iter`);
        replaceListItem(`iter`, "Sentence", elementOf("LIST", `iter`));
        playSoundUntilDone(`iter`);
        replaceListItem(`iter`, "Sentence", `currently speaking`);
        `iter` + 1;
    }
    `speaking` = 0;
}

This isn't Java Filo. Text-mode is to pepare scratchers for other languages. Its just to tell them a little bit about what its like.  neutral
