In the Script variables block, once you go past 'z' it goes to 'foo' 'bar' 'baz' 'z1' 'z2' and so on

Yeah, that's a feature, not a bug. smile

I know I already read the thing.

To Bharvey

Wonderful, it works. See the result at the same address.

The trick is that inside the script cmd must not to be "grayed", but the command POW Void 4 must be grayed when it is a variable input

It's the same problem as in Logo the difference between :arg and "arg

Ha! In your tools project you made a script that says things in Pig Latin!

What do the rest of you think?

The fat one should be use for the Windows icon and the skinny one should be used for the actual BYOB program.

Oh, is that what you meant? I'll leave this for Jens, who's in charge of Windows icons. Why does it matter about the icon? Probably I'm missing something by having a dark screen background. smile

ScratchReallyROCKS · 2010-05-20 06:50:33

Why do you keep saying Windows? What about Mac?

Jens · 2010-05-20 07:43:17

Hehe, because Brian's in charge for the Mac package smile

I heard about Scratch Day in Berkley. I can't decide to go to the one in San Mateo or your BOYB discussion in Berkley. Maybe I will go to the BOYB discussion.

I don't understand much of the things in BYOB currently, but the block building feature is awesome! I yearned to make functions in Scratch and here they are!

Yeah, it's a hard choice. My plan is to go to Maker Faire on Sunday -- you should definitely go one day or the other. smile But I'd be glad to meet you! My event is going to be really small, only two people are coming so far.

Sometimes smaller is better.

The icon on Windows has a really thin, not so pretty border that is small because the image is shrunk. There are also white pixels along the edge. I suggested thickening the border like the Scratch icon. But not the actual sprite.

The icon currently looks like that.

Oh, I see. Jens's idea is to use this:

in contexts where the picture will be small. That should be in the next installer.

ScratchReallyROCKS · 2010-05-20 19:52:46

I'm perfectly fine with the way the icon looks right now (not that I really care what it looks like) because my dock minimizes so I don't really have to look at it at all unless I click on it.

↑I think that's a run on sentence↑ Oh well. I'm not in English class right now so I don't have to werie.

I have an idea about this, but it's too lengthy to explain...

EDIT: I thought I'd try and think up a clever icon but after fifteen minutes of drawing Gobo I instead discovered that I am a very strange person:

Version 2.99.013 at http://byob.berkeley.edu with a debugger! See the release notes (there's a link) for details. Yay!

P.S. Jens will be off the net on vacation for two weeks.

BYOB3 Tutorial 3, Recursion, is now available at http://byob.berkeley.edu or in two parts on the Scratch web site. Probably most people reading this forum already know most or all of what's in this one. There will be an "advanced recursion" tutorial later but not for a while. smile

Jonathanpb · 2010-05-21 05:14:10

Yay, tutorials! big_smile

Um... on the certificate (at the bottom of the webpage), the last two letters in my username are capitalized. Can you please uncapitalize them? ^_^ The certificate is awesome, though! smile

EDIT: The_Whiz is supposed to be The-Whiz, also. wink

Can i suggest adding help file for the new blocks, i don't have a clue what the debug blocks are supposed to be used for. Either that or a tutorial.
