Could the block-making window be resizeable? That would make it much easier to make blocks.

Hi Taneb, the block editor is resizeable (as is the debugger and the Elements window). There's a resizing handle in the bottom right corner...

How do you make a block like this:

Do [^_______] until <> happens

?

I can't figure out how to get the predicate right.

Couldn't you just use the repeat until block?

If I'm understanding the question, RCS wants to capture momentatry events like a key press or mouse click, and if the action part of the loop takes too long the event might be over before a test.  I don't have a complete solution for that, but it might help to have a separate thread that just checks for the event and sets a variable when it happens.

But if you're right and RCS just wants something like REPEAT UNTIL but with the test at the end (so the action happens at least once), there's a

REPEAT <action> UNTIL <test>

block in the tools.ypr project.  Be sure to download the lastest version, because early versions had a bug!

Any chance we might be able to drag reporters into a "when key pressed" hat block?

Oh, you mean a reporter that reports a character, and that's the character it looks for?  Nice idea, thanks.  As you say, 3.1.

People keep rediscovering the generic WHEN <predicate> hat block; that's another possibility in this category.

2.99.030, more bugfixes.

How many more versions are you going to make? 970?

Hey, I have an important question for ya, bharvey.

One of the features of lists in Scratch, is that you can easily import them and export them. For example, you can simply type a list of words in notepad, and them import them to use them into a project. However, BYOB now has everything first class, so how do we export lists within lists, as well as costumes, and scripts, and blocks, (and sounds?)

Hmm! I guess you're right. Summer flies by so fast... 

I just wish I could be there to brag about my badges/buttons        

You got them too! AWESOME! 

Also, what do you guys think about the recursion article on the Scratch Wiki? See it here. What should we add/change?

I emailed bharvey and ask him if I could 

And he said no?
