Ooopps... I guess I'm just used to bumping threads in the missalanious and TBG Forumas... tongue

PS: I won't be working on Blocktalk for a while because I'll be out of town until Sunday night.

Does anyone know how to change the world menu from

Code:

open >> Scratch

to

Code:

open >> Blocktalk

Well, I think I know how to do it, I just can't find the method for the world menu... hmm

Thanks! smile

Great news, everybody!!

I finally got the seperate scripting panes working! They just lead to different scripting areas for the same sprite but they work! Now, I have to build the class and instance coding frame. YAY!! lol lol

JwTest · 2010-08-19 18:13:09

Oh no! yikes Could someone tell me how to express 'or' in Smalltalk? hmm

pwiter · 2010-08-20 08:59:40

Code:

else

I think?

No, that's not what I mean, and an if statement might look like this anyway:

Code:

(score = 100) ifTrue: [self forward: 10.]
                           ifFalse: [self forward: 1.].

And I mean like the Scratch boolean Block "< <> or <> >"

Nevermind! I figured it out:

Code:

((score = 10) or: [score = -10]) ifTrue: [self forward: 10]
                                 ifFalse: [self forward: -10].

Or you can use the infix "|" operator
(like

Code:

something | something

)

The advantage of the #or: and #and: messages is that you can make one condition only be evaluated if another is true, so if I wasn't sure if something score exists, I could write:

Code:

((something respondsTo: #score) and: [something score > 250])

Cool! That might come in handy sometime. lol

Eh, don't get to hopeful. It'll take a while... tongue

Hmm... I've seem to run into another problem! yikes

The Instance Scripts pane won't evaluate the blocks in it. I built the pane by adding another instance variable to the ScriptableScratchMorph called "instanceBlocksBin", and in initialize I added

Code:

self instanceBlocksBin := ScratchScriptsMorph new.

and changed the method in:

Code:

Scratch-UI-Panes >> ScratchScriptEditorMorph >> accessing >> category:

from

Code:

currentCategory: aString

    | xOffset |
    currentCategory _ aString.
    self target ifNil: [^ self].
    xOffset _ 0.

    World activeHand newKeyboardFocus: nil.

    currentCategory = 'Scripts' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: self target blocksBin].
    currentCategory = 'Costumes' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: (self target costumesPage: xOffset)].
    currentCategory = 'Sounds' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: (self target soundsPage: xOffset)].

    pageViewerMorph contents color: ScratchFrameMorph scriptsPaneColor.

    self world ifNotNil: [self world startSteppingSubmorphsOf: pageViewerMorph contents].

to

Code:

currentCategory: aString

    | xOffset |
    currentCategory _ aString.
    self target ifNil: [^ self].
    xOffset _ 0.

    World activeHand newKeyboardFocus: nil.

    currentCategory = 'Class Scripts' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: self target blocksBin].
    currentCategory = 'Instance Scripts' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: self target instanceBlocksBin].
    currentCategory = 'Costumes' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: (self target costumesPage: xOffset)].
    currentCategory = 'Sounds' ifTrue: [
        pageViewerMorph contents: (self target soundsPage: xOffset)].

    pageViewerMorph contents color: ScratchFrameMorph scriptsPaneColor.

    self world ifNotNil: [self world startSteppingSubmorphsOf: pageViewerMorph contents].

Anyone have any idea to fix this? hmm Help would be appriciated! smile

Sure! Do you know a good programmer that could help me?

Curious, how do you intend to design this so that users not yet familiar with Squeak (like myself) can learn Squeak? Are class/instance scripts the only way, or will there be more?
I think I will have just 2 categories, classes and instances for scripts. See, Smalltalk (you call it Squeak) is like the real world. For example, there are 'classes' witch is like all the computers that exist now. Instances are like an individual car, like that red one on Main street.

I will have a pdf file that comes with Scratchtalk and it will help you understand how to use the program.

can i have the link to download?

Sorry, but I haven't written it it because Blocktalk is nowhere near done. sad But I'll finish it eventually. smile

cool ill send u friend request

rubiks_cube_guy238 · 2010-08-26 16:33:01

If it's not too late, I think you should base this of of BYOB3. It's basically already object-oriented. The only thing it's missing is making the sprites object-oriented.
