easy. first take out some script in Squeak which automatically fixes it to the current layout, then alt-click buttons and click duplicate. then change the string and the arguments to the new block category.

But where is the script?

aaargh! i **** hate my internet connection!!!!!! i have to REPOST!!! I AM MAD AT IT!!! ARGHHHH!!!!!

GO TO: scratch-ui-panes > viewermorph > initialization > rebuildcategories

delete it and click 'delete, then browse senders'. in the senders delete the section of code referred to the rebuildcategories.

note: to add blocks to yur new category, just add the name in quotes somewhere in the blockSpecs, then under the scratchMorph blockSpecs go to blockSpecsColor or something like that and add your desired color (unless you want red then it's automatic).

haha i copied the text now even if it disconnects...

Wait... I can't change the arguments so that it works... it gives me an error

yeah sure you can! submit your entry to the bingo forums' main page and put in your email there (no one apart from me can see it) and i'll get back to you by email asap.

Can you please make the blocks featured here:

The key_pressed reporter block
a great block that saves you the fuss of making 30 scripts for each different key. just add this to a forever if and youre done with your scripting for a text program! add the block wherever you want, and add this code into the corresponding instance ops.

Code:

    (Sensor keyPressed: 65)
        ifTrue: [^ 'a'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 66)
        ifTrue: [^ 'b'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 67)
        ifTrue: [^ 'c'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 68)
        ifTrue: [^ 'd'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 69)
        ifTrue: [^ 'e'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 70)
        ifTrue: [^ 'f'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 71)
        ifTrue: [^ 'g'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 72)
        ifTrue: [^ 'h'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 73)
        ifTrue: [^ 'i'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 74)
        ifTrue: [^ 'j'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 75)
        ifTrue: [^ 'k'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 76)
        ifTrue: [^ 'l'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 77)
        ifTrue: [^ 'm'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 78)
        ifTrue: [^ 'n'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 79)
        ifTrue: [^ 'o'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 80)
        ifTrue: [^ 'p'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 81)
        ifTrue: [^ 'q'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 82)
        ifTrue: [^ 'r'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 83)
        ifTrue: [^ 's'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 84)
        ifTrue: [^ 't'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 85)
        ifTrue: [^ 'u'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 86)
        ifTrue: [^ 'v'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 87)
        ifTrue: [^ 'w'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 88)
        ifTrue: [^ 'x'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 89)
        ifTrue: [^ 'y'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 90)
        ifTrue: [^ 'z'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 32)
        ifTrue: [^ 'space'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 1)
        ifTrue: [^ 'home'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 4)
        ifTrue: [^ 'end'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 5)
        ifTrue: [^ 'insert'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 9)
        ifTrue: [^ 'tab'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 11)
        ifTrue: [^ 'page up'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 12)
        ifTrue: [^ 'page down'].
    (Sensor keyPressed: 127)
        ifTrue: [^ 'delete'].
    ^ 'none'

Pretty long eh? don't be discouraged it's worth it!

It didnt work for me... also, shouldnt the blockspec be a boolean instead of a reporter?

Im making my own scratch-based project, and i need some blocks. could you please give me te codes for a <I recieve[^]> conrtrol booolean, a bounce, if touching [^], bounce motion blocks, Think nothing and change costume # by () look blocks, and if you can do thats THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!

I can give you code for change costume # by (). Put

Code:

changeCostumeIndexBy: t1 
    self costumeIndex: self costumeIndex + t1

in looks ops of ScriptableScratchMorph instance,

Code:

('change costume by %n' #- #changeCostumeIndexBy: 1)

in SpriteMorph blockSpecs, and

Code:

('change background by %n' #- #changeBackgroundIndexBy: 1)

in StageMorph blockSpecs. Hope it helps! 

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!

You're welcome.    I've heard the I receive block is impossible to make, I'm not sure if this is true, but I don't think anyone has it.    I'll try to make a bounce block now... ...Almost got it. An error message appeared saying t1 and t2 are undefined or something.   

bounce
    | t1 t2 t3 t4 |
    t3 _ self rotationDegrees degreesToRadians cos.
    t4 _ self rotationDegrees degreesToRadians sin negated.
    t1 left < t2 left ifTrue: [t3 _ t3 abs].
    t1 right > t2 right ifTrue: [t3 _ t3 abs negated].
    t1 top < t2 top ifTrue: [t4 _ t4 abs negated].
    t1 bottom > t2 bottom ifTrue: [t4 _ t4 abs].
    self rotationDegrees: (t4 negated asFloat arcTan: t3) radiansToDegrees.
    self position: self position + (t1 amountToTranslateWithin: t2)

If you find out what's wrong, please let me know. Bounce, if touching, if I can figure out what's wrong with bounce, I might be able to do that. Think nothing, you can just use the say nothing, it will stop what it's thinking too.

('say nothing' #- #sayNothing)

The link block
Ok, finally some time to add the greatest block of all. the block links the user to a webpage, program or file as long as the path  or URL is given. add in the blockspecs in the control section some kind of block code (choose whatever you want, you know how to do it). and add in the corresponding instance ops:

Code:

    Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: t1]

So little code for such a great block... and remember to click accept!

For people who aren't sure how to put this in the block specs, here's a good way:

Code:

 ('go to website %s' #- #getLink: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/')

The result will be a block that says "go to website [http://scratch.mit.edu/]" wherein scratch.mit.edu is what it says by default.

Where should I put it?

world category is stuff that has to do with the outside world (duh). here's a list of some stuff i put:

- link to website/program
- check connection
- moved sliders from sensing
- tooltip [something]
- <confirm [Sure?]>
- get date/time/weekday/etc
- record sound
- take picture
- show dialog titled [] with [] as contents

that's pretty much everything i came up with till now.

Ah... ok.

nothing yet.

You're right that the <when i receive[message\/]> would be impossible, but I think [wait until I receive [message\/]] would be possible.

No ... nothing's impossible given time ... but anyways, that actually is quite possible. Without excess time.

Ok... so I got rid of the scripts that you said to, and then I alt-clicked the button to duplicate. I alt-clicked on the new button, clicked "change arguments", typed in "dialogs" (that's what I wanted) but the text didn't change. I tried to do that by alt-clicking again and clicking "change label". It gave me an error.

the dialog bit is fine, that's what you need to do. to change the label you need to first drag it around, then shift-click the label and type in what you want. then make sure you embed it into the scratchViewerMorph

Ick, why would you do it THAT way... that's so un-permanent. You should edit the initialization or startup methods for ScratchVeiwerMorph or ScratchFrameMorph
