well i love it but my computer froze. but it was fine when i turned it off and then on again. smile

Hi Galacticfuzz,

sometimes it may appear as if your computers freezes when you end up executing a custom block with infinite recursion and the "atomic" checkbox marked. In this case pressing the red stop sign will not work, but you can still interrupt the program by pressing both the Esc-key on your keyboard and any mouse button at the same time (keep both pressed for a while until BYOB "unfreezes" again)

Okay, Stefano, let me put something together for you over the weekend...

Any news Jens? As I said, I'm ready to code/test whatever you need.

Will someone please answer me?

I made some blocks called "walk left","walk right","jump" and "duck"! I love this thing!

poppypaynterscratch · 2009-10-16 21:29:55

uuhhh I can't get my blocks to stay the way i make them help!

Jens · 2009-10-19 05:36:31

Hi poppypaynterscratch,

I'm sorry you're having troubles with BYOB, but I'm also afraid I don't quite understand what's happening to you. Could you perhaps state more clearly how your blocks change in ways not intended by you? Thanks!

SimpleScratch · 2009-10-20 01:58:20

Thanks very much for BYOB smile

I needed to produce a quick animation for a school today and used BYOB to quickly convert a Scratch program to a .exe for an inspection today!

regards

Simon

I love byob. But can Jens hack more to make new categorys to keep the blocks or you can add to a current one. Thw blocks and categorys will stay on byob next time you open it?

qwertyperson · 2009-10-25 10:00:13

are you able to select between reporter hole, boolean hole, square hole, reporter w/ dropdown, dropdown to lists, and dropdown to variables?

Hey Jens! I've been trying to find a way to open BYOB on Linux, is the .image in the 1.4 Scratch? Or is Scratch 1.4 done in a different way? ( I don't plan on using WINE to open BYOB, so forget about suggesting me use WINE wink )

Not Jens, but:

1.You could probably rename the current Scratch.image to Scratch1.image, then rename the BYOB image to Scratch.image in the Scratch directory, then when you click on Scratch BYOB will run.
2.Scratch doesn't work with WINE anyway.

I haven't used this awesome program in a long time... I just downloaded BYOB 2.0.2, and I love the built-in Elements editor (even if I don't understand Smalltalk, haha) and the Mesh feature. But I think there should be a way to use this feature on presentaion mode, or in compiled .exes. I'm not sure if this is possible by coding new blocks (I think the code for the Mesh feature would be modified to work like a block, but I'm not a good programmer myself so that's just a guess), if so, something simple like this would be good:

Jens, I think IP Blocks and Join Mesh, Host Mesh, End Mesh blocks should all be included in a new version of BYOB, that way you can compile the project to an .exe and you won't have problems connecting. And can you also make Mesh go for the internet too, not just the Home Network?

somelia · 2009-11-10 18:42:49

Hello! I don't get the mesh feature. Would someone please explain what it is and what to do with it?

Magnie · 2009-11-10 20:30:58

Mesh allows you to connect to a different computer in your home.

Okay. Cool! But it can't connect to any computer anywhere?

Magnie · 2009-11-12 22:22:51

It can only connect to computers in your house. big_smile

Archmage made a video showing some program beta that he made so he can connect to computers through Scratch and Flash. One computer set a variable to where a cat was supposed to move and the other computer showed the result.

You can view the video here.

hi
I think BYOB is an excellent idea and is very useful for creating more complex games
but when will there be a function to share your BYOB projects online to enable an embed for a webpage ?

rdococ · 2009-11-15 12:03:18

*Where you can download it? the * at the start means its required.
