Personallly I cannot get the sound blocks to work, but maybe thats my PC

o keys abcdefghijklmno work, pqrstuvwxyz are recognised as f1, f3-f12

o never happened to me, and was not made by us anyway.
o it's your computer.

What about an rubber tool? It HAS to be not just white - it needs to be blank. Otherwise it would just not work right.

If nobody has done this, I might make these blocks:
(round () to the nearest () )

(circuference of circle with radius: () )
(circuference of circle with diameter: () )
(area of circle with radius:() )
(are of circle with diameter:() )
And Maybe:
Area of other shape blocks, maybe even make a new % - like %p for list of shapes for the function.

What dya think?

@markyparky: because he can't get his hands on a newer version, like me.

Those can already be accomplished with the math blocks, besides the rounding one.

The rounding one can be done too.

I know - but what about people not good at maths?

Then they go learn how to do it.

circumfrence =  pi  2r or (((pi))*(((RADIUS)*(2))))
circumfrence = pi diameter or ((pi)*(DIAMETER))
area = pi diameter/2^2 or (((pi))*(((((DIAMETER)/(2)))^(r))))
area = pi radius^2 or (((pi))*(((raduis)^(r))))

they can all be done with existing blocks, is my point, and I feel that the blocks might get it the way... they're good ideas though 

I like the %p idea though

oh, and the erasor block would be useful, if difficult... I noticed that using the [!mix color [!pen color!] with [!color of pixil (mouseX) (mousey)!]] caused the color to change according to the surrounding colour, and acted a bit like a rubber.

I suppose, this is supposed to be an advanced version of Scratch

How about after Panther we make one called Kitten? The simplest it gets!

LOL x10000000000^INFINITY!

Great idea! Heres the moto: "The easiset way to do stupidly nerdish things!" (big rubbish jk)

Here kitty kitty kitty!

So does anybody like my ideas? Would you like me to have a stab at the coding for them?

How do you do "if" fuctions in Squeak?

Basicaly stripping Scratch back to the basic blocks, like glide and move () steps.

so rather than adding two catagories, we'd take two away... pen and sound would do it. they're the least used. I'm joking, if you want to make Kitten do it without me cos I think that's a waste of time. Scratch is already aimed to be as simple as.

think about it, how many people have you heard complianing that there aren't enough powerful or useful blocks, and how many people have you heard complaining how difficult scratch is and how there are too many blocks, it makes them scared, they'd feel safer if they were'nt outnumbered and just had one block... then they might stand a chance.... as long as it's not too scary, like glide... something simple like a "do nothing" block. yeah.....  ..... no.
