Downloading Swipe
To download swipe, download either the image file alone or the entire file. (not released yet due to errors)
to get the full swipe experience, it is recommended that you download the Swipe Fonts as well.

what is swipe?
Swipe is a scratch mod i'm currently working on. Now all mods include several blocks in them to make things easier but you're all probably wondering what sets Swipe above all others, I know that that is the first thing I would want to know.

Swipe not only adds NEW things, but changes many old things to make it better.
changes such as;
editing the mouse down block to include left, right, and middle mouse sensing
editing the key pressed block to include several other keys
editing the next costume block to include previous costume (in a dropdown menu)
adding more effects to the effect blocks

and so on...

Swipe also made more changes to the paint editor such as;
adding more brush and eraser sizes for greater diversity
adding more text sizes for different sized titles
Swipe also includes all new fonts as well as old fonts that were taken away, like the Scratch font! (thanks to Harakou!)

not only this but swipe also has many new blocks which is something that all mods have, yet all mods need. Swipe has the ability to;
Tell what time, date, weekday, etc... it is
tell if a word is uppercase or lowercase or reversed
allow you to draw a new costume
create lists and variables (using a block instead of a button)
show and hide lists
use the if <i received > block
open a dialog box
link to a website
take a picture with the webcam
and much more!

Swipe also plans to be easier to mod and change things to! Included in the list of buttons at the top is the Dev button. This button allows you to go into developer mode and make additions to swipe! who knows, maybe one of your additions could be featured in a future version!

But first I need to acknowledge a couple of scratchers who spent time helping me figure stuff out! without them swipe wouldn't even exist!

it's not letting me save in user mode so you'll have to enter user mode manually, sorry!

Ooo, schmancy. When's it gonna be out?

The text sizes edit will only cause problems. Not all text files can go with every text size, the Panther team has had this problem recently.

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 15:29:17

pretty soon actually, all of the features I mentioned and more are already finished, but I was hoping to do a little more with mesh first. perhaps once I can figure out how to add categories haha! it's been really stubborn but i'll get it eventually smile . and i want to mess with the interface and give it a sleek design, but if it ends up being a bigger project then expected then i'll probably leave it until the next release.

If you ever look at a font file, it should show the text sizes it supports.

Maybe you said something in a post that he read which helped him.

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 15:36:10

you created the block library where i first went and where I was inspired to start the mod! not only that but that's where I got the first three blocks I ever added (which you posted) without those things swipe never would have been started at all!

Then you shold probably give credit to the people who made those blocks, unless they were Sparks'...

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 15:43:27

they were sparks' blocks

Problem solved then. Question answered.

nXIII · 2010-08-09 16:04:08

So you've actually created the paint features you mentioned?

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 18:59:10

yep, i was hoping to add more default colors to the square color pickers but i haven't found a way to do that yet.

the fonts install straight to your fonts so you can use them in any scratch mod too!

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 20:42:43

i'm planning to have a pretty open mod, i feel like so much credit belongs to different members of the community and to the scratch team themselves so I'll make sure to release a source code with every release

though if I do that i'd better make every release have a nice design to it, no sloppiness!

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 23:23:07

I added the following text about modding swipe to the main entry.

It is in the Tos that you HAVE to include the Source Code, anyway. wink

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-09 23:41:41

yep it is, and lots of people don't release the source code until later
sometimes they have valid reasons, but i want to make sure that i include it every time.

and the dev button on the menu makes it even easier!

nXIII · 2010-08-10 17:21:14

You just gave me a good idea.... Unrelated, but hey, thanks anyway! big_smile

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-11 19:44:16

it's out, but i had some issues so i couldn't save it in user mode...

LS97 · 2010-08-12 09:41:16

i don't want you to use my blocks anymore in the next version.
sorry. and that ad of yours on the front page is a big lie.

nXIII · 2010-08-12 16:02:23

The download link doesn't work for me. sad

@LS97: what ad?

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-12 17:20:06

huh that's weird, i don't think i'll ever get this working...

and where did this sudden hostility come from! what ad on the front page?

PlayWithFire · 2010-08-16 14:40:46
