A=a

Is there some way to work around this Scratch Feature of Recognizing A as a & vice versa.
i would like to write a program that thinks that they're different...!


Thanx!

Re: A=a

I pretty sure there isn't but how are you going to use it? There could be some sort of workaround if we knew what you were trying to make.

Re: A=a

Yes:  Set Variable (variable name) to A.  <Variable=a> = FALSE.

EDIT: I just re-checked, it doesn't do that.  It used to... strange...

Re: A=a

Maybe we should suggest adding in a setting which detects if you want it to be case sensitive.

Re: A=a

I'm making a block that checks whether a variable is upper or lower case..'

If it works, I'll post the code.

Re: A=a

The purpose of the check was for an UnCode translator...
The program would substitute various upper & lower case letters to other letters so that you could flip the page over and read it...???

Is there a repository of these home made blocks that you speak of...
And how hard are them to install...???

Thanx!

Are you using a tanslator or something?
You either get an imagefile off a friend which already has them, then swap that for the official image for scratch, or you hack scratch your self to add them.

When I finish the block, I'll post the code so you can use it. But there is no 'repository' for homemade blocks... yet.

It would be a good idea though... but it would be a bit awkward wouldn't it?

Re: A=a

how can a block tell if a variable is upper or lower case when the variable string can contain upper, lower and characters?? you'd need a:

(letter (1)'s type of [variable])

reporting upper case, lower case, number or character (such as . , •) or a:

<letter (1)'s type of [Variable] = [upper case]?>

block.

You can do this kind of test in most text-based programming languages, maybe we should add it to panther?
