I downloaded BYOB, but I don't know how to open it. Help! 

It depends... are you on a PC or Mac?

And did you get the installer or zip file? I recommend using the installer.

... provided you're on a Windows machine.   

Once it's installed, you should be able to run it exactly the same way you run Scratch, by double-clicking on its icon.  Maybe you should give more details about what you did and what happened...

Since this seems to have little relevance to Scratch, but rather BYOB, I will move this to the advanced topics forum 

K!

Thx everybody, I know now but I barely know how to use it. xD Thanks!

Have you tried using "the script" to put a script in a variable and then run the variable with the "run" block? That's my favorite part of BYOB.

Same here! xD

But it may be a concept to complex for some one who just got the program... If I were you, I'd stick to making new blocks right now. Try lambda later! 

But lambdas are so fun!

Yeah! They are awesome. 

Oh yea, check out my article at recursion on the Scratch Wiki!

My favorite part of BYOB3 (and Jens agrees with me about this) are called upvars. That's when you make a c-shaped block (by adding a c-shaped input (name it 'blocks') ) and make an 'output' by adding an input var and selecting 'make internal variable visible to caller'. Then you can make a
___________________
|repeat (10) (count)| ◄(this is a variable you can drag out, but only for use in this block)
|   |
|   |                     
|_________________|

block.
To make it work, code the block this way:
________________________
|repeat (10)                  |
|   |run (blocks)
|   |change [count] by (1)
|______________________|

Now, drag out this block, and put this script in it:

say (count) for (0.5) secs

set it to repeat 10 times, and run this script.

The sprite should say the numbers from 0 to 9.

Like my artwork? 

Oh yeah, upvars are nice too. You can't make a "for" block without them!
