Did nXIII tell you about the downloadable block idea, because it's mine. You can use it, just give me credit (unless you really did come up with it    )

This is a good idea.

thanks. do you think people would contribute?

I'm not really a smalltalker, but I think this is a great idea.

Well, it was kind of based off my "patches" idea, which in turn was based off Jens' "patches" project....

What ones....

thanks: I'll addd the ones with an author's name beside them when I manage to get my project to display more than the first block.

I'll do that tomorrow, I'm sorry but it takes some time and I'm about to go to bed. It looks nice though.

So far the blocks are open browser with URL:$String$ by billyedward and report$String$
which does not work.

EDIT: it works now

we were gonna us it 4 jaguar. right?

The store of blocks is only very loosley coded to save space. Jaguar is more than welcome to use it if it can download it and access it. it's stored (something) like this:

username
block name
block code (on one line)
block colour (hexadecimal)
block catagory (such as operators)
block type (e.g. r)
comment about block
next username (no spaces between block info)
etc.

Hey all.

I have a collaberative idea for Panther. You don't have to be a supporter of Panther to provide your opinion, so please read on.

In Panther it is possible to code your own custom blocks using smalltalk. this means you can code a block to do pretty much anything you like.

my plan is to put up a community supported system. I have managed to make a project that can view shared custom blocks and download them. The only block currently there is an adaptation of billyedward's URL opening block. I managed to convert it to text, store it online and the render the block and download it sucessfully into a project, colour, code, name, comment, user name and all.

so. I am wondering, if I set up a section of the Panther website to allow people to add their custom block code, do you think people would contribute? Your name would obviously be displayed with the block.

I also want a link in the project that takes you to a suggestion page where people who want custom blocks but can't program themselves can suggest them and I want to know how likely it will be that people check the suggestions and code the requested blocks and upload them.

I guess what I'm asking is, do you think people will contribute?

many thanks for the input,

Sparks

I would hope so.

and this is based on the idea of a Patching system isn't it?

You can't deny it, I've already looked about.

Yes, that would be a good idea.

Please don't claim that the patching system is your idea...
