Custom Blocks
Has anyone seen one of those Scratch projects where the user shows you how to make custom blocks for programming? Well, as a new addition to Scratch, why not allow easier block modification? As well, When Scratchers download or view the projects on the web, the Scratch player can just download the code for the custom block before turning it into one.
If you play Super Mario Bros. backwards, then it's about a plumber that runs away from his girlfriend after a mutant turtle comes out of some lava and builds a bridge.

Re: Custom Blocks
There's already BYOB, which is a modified version of Scratch that allows you to create your own custom blocks right from the program. You can find it here:

I agree though, custom blocks would be great, but at the moment it goes against Scratch's Terms of Use to upload projects with custom blocks to the website. 
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Custom Blocks
Well, that's what I meant. In the next Scratch, permission to actually make custom blocks, without violating the policy.

Making custom blocks isn't violating the policy...
