How to make Virtual Blocks
A lot of people have been posting projects like 'Blocks I Want To See'. But, beleive it or not, an average of ~25% of these blocks can easily be done, by using other blocks. This forum topic is a list of blocks that a lot of people want, and how to do them using other blocks.
[restart] block: It is a little known fact, but this CAN be done. All you need to do is [broadcast [scratch-startclicked]], but this only works offline. You can take advantage of this not working to kame an online/offline detector, one of which I have in my stuff.
[previous costume] block: This can easily be done with [switch to costume ((costume #) - 1)].
[go forward (1) layers] block: Very simply done with [go back (-1) layers].
I'll make additions to this list on a whenever-I-feel-like-it basis.

The glass is never half full nor half empty; it is twice as large as it needs to be.

Yes, but that was in Squeak itself, not Scratch. Simply broadcasting scratch-startclicked will not work online.

I just realized that (inspired by the 'Scratch-StartClicked') you can use [broadcast 'Scratch-MouseClickEvent'] to fire a 'universal click' (everything was clicked at once)...
Wow... That's cool! I'll add that into the list.

Uh... no. It just worked for me in Java. Take a look.

Re: How to make Virtual Blocks
You CAN make a previous costume block by editing the source code, not sure about the other two, though. Way I know this: I have 1.

<switch to costume[ (( (costume) <-> 1 ))
[/blocks]
