Okay, in the hat block redesign, the hats themselves will look like normal hats, except for a few things. Here is a mockup:

When dragged over another script, however, they will become command-shaped and a bottom puzzled edge will appear. This allows the structuring mp56 mentioned.

Events themselves will become blocks which can be added/removed so that a script collection can respond to both multiple events and no events at all.

i dont follow this thread very often (not even someztimes, last time i saw it it was on page 83), but i happened to be on it and this seems to me like an awesome idea. it would be something that i would never have the knowledge to make, but it would be great if you made that in Panther.

On a sidenote:
i would love to have a couple of color reporters in Bingo, can i add them if i figure out the code if I give credit? reply on a different thread for this (mine possible), unless you want me to read 20 pages of the forums before finding the answer 

Thanks. LS

Of course not bharvey    It's all good and your help is ever appreciated

(in fact, have you any idea why clicking on a Panther project opens Panther, but with a blank project rather than the one you clicked on?)

p.s. what seems to be going on about meeting in london at the moment?
________________________________________________________________________________

Most of you know that we are supplying Blockshop with panther 1.1 when it is released. We might also adapt nXIII's patches system (possibly with patches specifically for Panther customisation) and I would love to hear any suggestions you guys have regarding other usful apps we should supply? (oh yes, we might have EXE sharing with the next release). One suggestion is that we have a map of the earth, and people can run the project and make a little dot appear on the map (roughly) where they are. This is sent to a server and other dots display which countries are using Panther.

Any cool or useful ideas? Let me know!

________________________________________________________________________________
So you said any ideas so here goes:
A project that connects to the internet and downloads content. E.G it can download sprites, scripts and blocks. So a project for downloading parts or whole project. So you could make DLC or Online Competitons.

A project that can send a email to a specified email. So you could auto-send high scores. (Im sure its doable)

A project that can connect to other software, such as WiiMotes, mobile phones and other BlueTooth devives. This would be able to get what buttons are pressed and what things are connected.

A project that can make a online mesh, using a server. So like Hamachi, but just on Panther. Maybe use .txt files, and they would look like:

Connecter 1
Variable: 'Var.1'
Value: 'test'
Last Updated: '12:00'

Connecter 2
Variable: 'Var.1'
Value: 'hi'
Last Updated: '12:01'
Variable: 'Var.2'
Value: 'hello'
Last Updated: '11:56

So try that!'

But then you what if someone wanted to call only part of that, have it like classes and methods, the script is the class and inside that you have the methods.

Oh now I get it -- you want to wrap some syntax around the dispatch procedure, so instead of

SWITCH <message> OF
  CASE <msg1>: ...
  CASE <msg2>: ...
   ...

you could say

METHOD <msg1>: ...
METHOD <msg2>: ...
...

but I don't think you have to invent new features for this; it's basically nXIII's switch statement for byob, renamed from CASE to METHOD.

But semantically this isn't best understood as jumping into the middle of a script, but rather as reporting a method, right?  Or am I even more confused than I realize about what it is you want to accomplish?  (I think my confusion is only partly due to my being tired, but also partly due to different people who are posting in this thread wanting different things under the same rubric.)

BTW I have made a sprite to get the country of the player!

I changed it so now it gets:
England
United Kingdom
or whatever your location!

Its not that precise, but it works.

Plus it types it out on the screen.


Putting it on a map is harder!

No its a sprite not a block, but it could be...

woah! better not, the last project-in-a-block you sent us slows down blockshop quite a but when it is searched... better to share it as a project 

It's quite a bit not quite a but

Ok, but this time will it be posted (UNLIKE MY LAST 1!)

I guess so, I don't know where your other one went, If you resend it, I'll put it up

Done!

I've got a question:

In mesh is it possible to use the file blocks to write to the other computer's files?

in directly yes. If you were, for example, to set a variable to the content you want to add, then broadcast "write" or something, as long as you have a script in the other project that can recieve the broadcast and read the variable (which you can) then that script can write the variable value to a predetermined file or a file path set out by another variable.

here's a quick example:

I think the file I o asking thing Is good so the project does not automatically destroy C:/Windows.

Sorry, on iPod touch

it is good, we're working on confining the file writing to certain areas to avoid damage to important files.

Hmm.    production seems to be slowing down    I guess the summer is too good to spend all of inside...
