I think you should add a database that just has blocks

Re: Panther development thread

erm... The online database was made by nXIII, I don't know how to take the password off the block browsing section of it, and I don't know where he is.

Re: Panther development thread

How would you make a
Write file $String$
block in CYOB?
(I tried
self writeFile: ()
but that didn't work)

I think you guys are slightly missing the point.  What matters about robot pinging the forum isn't how high your count gets [you children are SOOO competitive!] but rather the load you're placing on the servers.  That's what'll annoy the Scratch Team, if anything.

I kinda figured that out. Also, if you left it going for 100 minutes it could get you over 10,000 posts. Thats a big impact.

Yeah, I don't think anyone in the team does that anymore, so if its sky rocketing again, it probably a user.

Yeah, I know this conversation is old, but why did you include that as an example?

Re: Panther development thread

you should make an
[animate costumes () through () with a () second delay]
block

also i'm having a huge issue, every time i download panther i extract all files then use it.  when i turn off my computer and turn it back on again, panther is nowhere to be found, i've tried everything including searching the word, "panther" which comes up with no results.  my only conclusion is that it uninstalls every time i turn my computer off.  so why is it doing this?

Because it does not have an installer, Panther is never actually installed on your computer so it can't be uninstalling itself. The panther files are just on there. I have no idea what's wrong, but I think it's your computer because we have never had this problem reported before. Try saving the Panther1.0 folder to your desktop or your my documents and see if that helps  tongue

your animate costume block can already be done. rather than the block
"animate costume t1 to t2 with a t3 second delay"
write the script

[switch to costume t1]
|repeat t2 - t1]
|wait t3]
|next costume]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

so you should be able to see that the arguments t1 to t3 in your block can be replaced by my script. just put the same numbers into the script argument as you woud in the block.

Re: Panther development thread

lol it appeared on my computer after about an hour of me being on it, though it 100% was not there before as it appeared as a short cut in an area where it hadn't been.  i know how to animate the costumes, i made the block in byob, i was just thinking that it would be a cool addition to panther.

Maybe a cool addition, but to avoid over crowding the block area we added the Make A Block Function, allowing the user to have all the blocks he wants!

Re: Panther development thread

So, I'm curious. What exactly is shared during mesh? Variables? Broadcasts? (It doesn't appear to share sprites, unsurprisingly)


What are you looking at?

Re: Panther development thread

variables and broadcasts are shared, and using custom blocks you might be able to send images or even sprites as a variable...

Variables are shared through the sensor value block, though Jd1 made a block which gets the variables differently, and in a way easier to use.

Well, can someone prove this:

I was on normal Scratch and I entered the browser and 1 thing lead to another and it ended up begining that the
( |sensor names| sensor)
block changed into:
( |string| sensor)
I tried the 2nd one and it faild so, does my custom block work, and if not why not?

And:
How does the pause feature work?
