Doesn't "BYOB" stand for ... ?

I guess it stands for a lot of things, not just for transporting beverages. I've also seen it printed on reusable bags as in "bring your own bag"  smile

limitations in editing block specs

defining custom blocks by letting users enter a parseable string requiring special characters to mark parameter placeholders is plain ugly, I agree. But it just happens to be easiest and quickest to implement  big_smile  . Ideally there would be a graphical "header editor" letting you assemble block specs by dragging and dropping bits and pieces out of a special "header-toolbox". This might be another interesting project in the future...

In the meantime there are some limitations in editing block specs. One such limitation is that when checking for an already existing block spec the prototype does not take the parameter names into account. This makes sense, because you don't see the (block-internal) paramter names in blocks palette. But it also prevents you from renaming only the parameter names in a block spec. One way to cope with this is to do it in two steps: First change something else in the block spec, accept, then change it back and rename the parameter (this is how I do it).

Yes. Ive sawn it as this, and bring your own bag.

Re: ITopic: Build Your Own Blocks (BYOB)

You should make it so that you can change the colour of the block. even put it in other groups of blocks!

[bugfix]

I just discovered and fixed an annoying bug that happens when you try to re-edit an existing block spec. So, if you have already downloaded the prototype, please do so once again and make sure the version number in the Extras-About dialog says BYOB 1.0.2. This does not affect any projects created with the original version.

Thanks!

Mine says more than 1.0.2, but 2.0.2!

Hi rdococ,

could you perhaps tell me a little more about your problems, so I can help you set up BYOB correctly? Thanks!

On Windows you should be able to extract the folder in the download-zip file, open it and double click on BYOB.exe

I was able to do that - the bugs that are fixed in 3.0.2 did NOT show.

Re: ITopic: Build Your Own Blocks (BYOB)

Can you add it so that you can edit the theme of the created blocks?
This is feedback if you already done it.

This is great. Which version of scratch will it be released in? I just checked the release notes for 1.4 and it does not seem to have support for this feature.
