Does anybody want to help me out in making my own version of scratch? At the moment it's a bit of a one man and his laptop thing, so I would appreciate some people joining. It's called xCubed and I would like to be able to release 1.0 by the end of June.

Anyone?

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I have created a few blocks on my own and would love to help.

You could also call it:

Or

PLEASE WE NEED THIS BLOCK!!!

This does a transparent pen:

penToErasor

self penColor: Color transparent

However, other pen lines underneath this can be seen straight through it, so it's pointless. It will work if somebody can get all the pen on a single layer.

oh, and, Bingo's looking great btw!

Great!           

How do you get blocks in the variables section that are visible even when no variables have been created?

Anybody wanting to get involved in xCubed (my own version of Scratch) go to xcubed.zxq.net. I've literally just got the hosting account, so don't expect much for a while, but that's where to go.

I don't know if you still need this, but for a dropdown box, go to Scratch-Blocks>CommandBlockMorph>instance>-- all -->uncoloredArgMorphFor: and somewhere between  t2 _ t1 at: 2. and ^ ExpressionArgMorph new numExpression: '10' put $(any letter not yet defined here) = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #( whatever you want here, something like key, costume, sound)Names]. and then go to Scratch-Objects>ScriptableScratchMorph>instance>(whichever catergory the dropdown box fits here)> and replace the text below with (whatever you put for whatever you want here, something like key, costume, sound here)Names
    ^ #('(dropdown item 1)' '(item 2)' '(3)' '(4)' '(5)' (you can add more if you want) ) and, finally, go to Scratch-Objects>ScriptableScratchMorph>(whichever catergory the dropdown box fits here) and replace the text below with: (whatever you want here): t1
    '(item 1)' = t1 ifTrue: [^ (what this option is)].
    '(2)' = t1 ifTrue: [^ (what this option is)].
    '(3)' = t1 ifTrue: [^ (what this option is)].
    '(4)' = t1 ifTrue: [^ (what this option is)].
    '(5)' = t1 ifTrue: [^ t2 degreesToRadians tan (math function block tan example)].
(add more of these if there are more dropdown box options) and then, in the blockspec, use %(whatever letter you used) to insert the dropdown box. Make sure the block calls the second method you made. If you want something other than the dropdown box, I have no idea how to make it, but it would be similar. Hope this helps.

I could help with the site? Im very good with website designing

Sure. If I'm quite good at PHP, and you're quite good at designing (or maybe both), the site would be great! I'll have to find some way to give you the username and password for the hosting account.

@TheSuccessor: Thanks!

<explanation>

whoa!! thanks a lot.
i didn't need half of that, but it was a good reminder. for stuff other than that kind of dropdown box i think you would have to edit the stuffNames, not the uncoloredBlahMorph.

thanks again!     

And if you want to do something REALLY different, you could make your own ArgMorph subclass:


EDIT: That's an old picture, I was talking about the other one; the boxed one is NOT from BYOB, it's another argument type.

well, tat's maybe too complicated and unnsecessary. btw, how do you take away checkboxes from a block again?

CommandBlockMorph's canBecomeWatcher.

not unnecessary! That argument there lets you put ANY value, including colors, strings, etc.!
