nXIII, did you add the 'round _ to nearest _' and 'estimate _ to _ths place' blocks that me and Sperry made?

And, can you post the 'while true' function again?

I don't mean to be harsh, but as Sparks said, we really want to avoid "Block Clogging", or making so many blocks that the important ones are buried in a pile of three-block-equivalent ones. Both of those blocks are relatively simple to accomplish with a few other blocks.

On a happier not, I have just finished fixing the backwards-compatible variable blocks (remember how they load with an empty variable selection? Not anymore big_smile )

Now, I am making it so the old variable reporters are turned into new ones.

I REALLY don't think you want a while true function, it would crash Squeak. If you mean whileTrue:, the message, the format is [conditionInBrackets] whileTrue: [codeInBrackets].

Yes, the second one smile

w00t! How do you do it though?

update for panther project - feel free to suggest:
name: Panther online
current features:
can check for connection to ref file and tell if it is outdated and needs upgrading (a prompt is given on both occasions in a dialogue box.
pretty good graphics that I mostly nabbed from the Scratch skin folder tongue

It turned out that the problem was an outdated arg (the variable one). I changed the variable arg to a custom arg subclass to get the 'other...' string functionality and other functionality. I simply needed to change what arg it looked for when setting the name, then change the message it used to set the argument value!

neat, nXIII, is that uploaded?

What's wrong with my edit adding the '! of _' block?

Code:

computeFunction: functionName of: aNumber
    "Return the result of computing the given mathematical function on the given number."
    |t1 t2|

    t1 _ aNumber. t2 _ aNumber. [t1 >= 0] whileTrue: [t2 _ t2 * t1. t1 _ t1 - 1.].

    '!' = functionName ifTrue: [^ t2].
    'abs' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber abs].
    'sqrt' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber sqrt].
    'sin' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber degreesToRadians sin].
    'cos' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber degreesToRadians cos].
    'tan' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber degreesToRadians tan].
    'asin' = functionName ifTrue: [^ (aNumber within: -1.0 and: 1.0) arcSin radiansToDegrees].
    'acos' = functionName ifTrue: [^ (aNumber within: -1.0 and: 1.0) arcCos radiansToDegrees].
    'atan' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber arcTan radiansToDegrees].
    
    'ln' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber ln].
    'log' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber log].
    'e ^' = functionName ifTrue: [^ aNumber exp].
    '10 ^' = functionName ifTrue: [^ 10.0 raisedTo: aNumber].

    ^ 0

LAWLZ Panther was hosting a mesh when I saved the image!

BTW the factorial is built in, just (anInteger factorial).

nXIII, I'm pretty certain the change colour effect has stopped working, might want to look into that

SeptimusHeap · 2010-04-13 18:05:47

Is the new panther in the same file as before?

I reccomend adding ! to the list of functions.

You need the dll's

I only updated the image in the folder Panther 1.1 (incomplete)

K, I'll add it (YAY, a useful block suggestion!)

Nice!

So maybe Itch and Panther could...hmmm...overlap?

I don't know the word.

It's like having two grocery stores next to each other who aren't exactly in competition.

Merger?

Itch: Scratch, with cooler stuff!
Panther: Scratch for the hard-cores.
Wait: We still need to get the rest of the team's OK.

somelia · 2010-04-13 19:06:42

THat'll work - if the team agrees. Else, you guys'll have a rival. >:D
