Hm... It's an interesting idea. I'm just not sure how it would work (especially graphically). Actually, it could spark some very interesting projects, such as learning AIs (my art teacher once told me about this AI that would start with just a tiny little block of code and write itself).

My sole concern is that it might not be simple enough for newer users to understand... As is my concern with all suggestions    If there were a way to make this extremely simple, I would definitely support 100%, but so far you've only got 50% of my support 

I'm working on a few mockups now... Maybe they'll help you to understand more. 

Ooh, so for example you could make the project itself  modify a script that happens to be running badly? If you can make it work and make it simple, I support!

Taking screenshots in Windows is hard!

Anyway, this block would be used the most:

Every single script would have a number. The sprite itself could control it...


Wait... Nevermind. I need another mockup.

Any comments on my failed first block? 

Hm - that's okay, but I guess it's a little difficult. I was thinking something a little more like when you drag comments over blocks to select a block.

Not the best mock-up, I know, but this is sort-of what I was envisioning.



Comments?

Haters?

I like it, but you should keep th efirst one to.

But it wouldn't work.

Nevermind, it's complicated.

I love the iSyn. Lots. It's really, truly, epic.

But if there is a glitch with a previously released app, there's no way to fix it other than to delete all of the sprites.

I think that we need a new group of block: Script patching

A script would be able to modify itself or other scripts. It would be able to make and delete both lists and variables.

I'm working on a mock up... Expect something later today.

Comments?

wait.... i think i suggested this >   see???? http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/88492 ... you might have to scroll down a bit 

also, ive thought this was a good idea for a long time, like for changes ingame, or AI bugfixing (    ), etc. etc., reah, i was maybe thinking of something more like a "c" block... like
  __________________________________
[replace line () of script () of sprite [] ]
[_]
[_]________________________________
[__________________________________]

like that, pretty much

Nice idea! Maybe that, too! 

... did you even read the first part??? I came up with it.... i think...

bump!

I'm asking the same question... Maybe that you can modify variable blocks? I have no idea.

I still love this suggestion, but I would like a drag and drop thing to connect blocks to other blocks, like with comments.

Maybe... 

Bump again.

Bomp.
