hey guys, playwithfire here. I downloaded byob 2.99 (and it's fantastic) and decided to make a project with a whole bunch of extra blocks to make programming easier. check it out (note you must have byob to use it)

Swipe v1.0

Scratch on!

Dazachi · 2010-04-27 20:53:55

Cool! It is funny. I was working on something like this yesterday, but it wouldn't save for me.
Mine is called Swift.

PlayWithFire · 2010-04-27 22:50:05

lol cool

AmoebaMan · 2010-04-27 22:54:33

uhhhhh, I would be real careful if I were you. i'm not sure how Jens and the other BYOB crew are going to like you spinning off their hard-worked-on work before they can even release the final result...

PlayWithFire · 2010-04-27 23:00:05

i'm not releasing a new version of byob. I didn't mess with the source code i just added other blocks using byob's main function (you know Build Your Own Blocks) to make it easier for other scratchers to make games with. I don't see what the problem would be.

Jens · 2010-04-29 17:04:38

Very nice, PlayWithFire! I love it, because this is in part exactly how we hoped BYOB would be used, to build your own blocks and share them with others! Cool.

I particularly like your STAMP AT <> block. One little suggestion: Could you make it so that the sprite remembers where it was before it stamps, and then make it return to that position afterwards? Wouldn't that be awesome? I'm really looking forward to seeing more of these blocks libraries!

PlayWithFire · 2010-04-29 18:20:32

thanks! actually that's a fantastic idea! i'll make that an addition for the next version!

PlayWithFire · 2010-04-29 18:27:22

i made that addition to the block
also would anyone like to request some blocks? i've been taking most of the designs from requests for scratch 2.0

Very cool. I have a programming suggestion. You can save a lot of the convoluted manipulation of Boolean values that I guess used to be necessary. Instead of

you can just say

Neat, eh? smile

PlayWithFire · 2010-04-30 09:58:54

Oh that's cool! I'll change it.

How about... uhhh... an effect reporter?

PlayWithFire · 2010-07-28 03:46:42

i think i might start working on a v2 of swipe instead of abandoning it, anyone wanna see it?

This should be in Advanced Topics.

I'll get a mod to move it...

PlayWithFire · 2010-07-28 14:47:18

well, i dunno if it's that advanced, it's not like i've created a whole new language, i simply made some blocks with byob, which is really easy to do, they did a good job with the block editor!

Pretty much anything to do with mods goes in Advanced Topics.

Also, nice blocks! I'm sure many people will find them helpful.

thanks!

stickdude123 · 2010-07-31 21:13:16

whaoh can u tell me the new fetures?

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-02 23:01:57

it basically has a whole bunch of blocks not included in scratch, i'm still not sure what i'm going to add to v2

Have got an int of() block? Or a reverse of() block?

terminator68 · 2010-08-04 17:15:03

It says that it has a bad header. Perhaps I need to download again?

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-04 17:20:15

save the file first then open it using byob, sorry!

btw, i'm going to be redoing swipe as my own mod, i think i'll be calling it something a little cooler though. it already has the ability to show and hide lists, report the pen size, detect whether the left, right, or middle mouse button is down, save stage area to sprite, record sounds (using a block) and open webcam (using a block)

Don't you think it would be better if this was an image file?

Just a suggestion...

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-04 17:23:10

yep, sorry, but i already saved swipe as a byob project, the new mod will have it's own image file though.

Are you still basing it on BYOB? (Is that even allowed?)
