I need help making blocks in BYOB

How do you make blocks in BYOB?

You need to put a bit of programming into the naming area, right?

Will somebody give me a few examples?

thanks so much.

Re: I need help making blocks in BYOB

1. Go to the "variables" part on the left
2. click "Make a Block"
3. a window will pop up asking for block information. type what you want your block to say with text areas starting with the % symbol. for example : Multiply %first by %second
4. Click OK
5. a new window will pop up with an editor on it. on the left, you can make variables that only apply to this block. on the right, you make the script for the block to follow. just drag blocks from the far left of the screen into this editor.
6. Click OK
7. Drag your new block into the regular script place and run it!

Re: I need help making blocks in BYOB

are you sure that you are in BYOB? if not go there, if you are make sure you are in the variables category. If these don't work:
1. Try switching between another category and the variable category.
2. Download a fresh version of BYOB.

If these don't work, you might want to try a different computer if one is available.

Re: I need help making blocks in BYOB

Here is another block-making tutorial, this one quite simple.

For a "previous costume" block, do this.

Are you sure you are using the BYOB icon? I click on the wrong one all the time.
