I was wondering. Since you are able to make your own block in Scratch, couldn't you technically make one that saves to your hard drive or something?

I told you you can't, so you go ahead and ask the rest of the world. LOL

Armage already has gone over this with tsunami_entrprises

This is nonsense. The only possible way to save your data in scratch (not including passwords) is to manually press the save button on the scratch program. Mastery of variables and broadcasts will not help you save data as it is just another capability that scratch lacks.

I know you can't save. But it is possible to make custom blocks that do custom things. They aren't normal ones. I can't get the source code up, but couldn't you just tell the block to save?

The only way scratch could save is if it could tell your internet browser to save a cookie then start again from that cookie. Also you can't make custum blocks till the next version of scratch comes out.

No. Jens has a game called flip, where it shows you how to maniplate the source code and such to create a custom block, in his case, flip.

Fine. I'll continue it. As soon as you change the guy, since i'm to lazy for all the costumes and such.

Fine. I'm working on the Background right now.

archmage · 2008-05-07 19:14:15

Err I am not familiar with squeak so I couldn't make a save block myself. Jens might be able to do it but you won't be able to upload projects that use this custom block.

Yes, I've realized this unfortunately, but it was my idea!!! At least first idea on forums...

Cool. I'm fixing the background, so it's righ sde up. Post your project, and I'll add my background changes to it.

What do you think of me taking a final fantasy charactor sprite off spriters resource for the character. I think that would fit nicely

Lets also move this discussion to the gallery, so we don't need to wait a minute in between posts

Whatever you want, but lets move this to J-Dot thread so everyone knows what were doing

geckofreak · 2008-05-07 20:10:47

Lets move it to the J-dot corp gallery

Folks, actually I have been experimenting with saving capabilites recently and posted a Scratch-derivative that lets you create projects using lists and external files for highscores etc. It also lets you compile these projects into exe's (which in turn can manage their own external files on your hard-drive). I have posted this here:

http://www.chirp.scratchr.org/blog/?p=16

You're all very welcome to download it and try it. Is this what you were requesting?

geckofreak · 2008-05-08 16:07:12

I uploaded a demo of Krazy Kwiz
