This is my BEST Block for SURE!!!! Also, one of my favorite blocks of all! It took like fourty five minutes to make!

It searches on google, scratch, scratch search, yahoo, youtube, IMDB or tests to see if the person using the project has the block. So to get it, do these codes in the browser.

this one goes in Scratch Objects -> Scriptable Sprite Morph -> sensing ops ->

Code:

doThis: t1 on: t2 
    | engines l |
    'google' = t1 ifTrue: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=' , t2 , '&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=ab5cdb1806fef4aa&safe=activet1'].
    'yahoo' = t1 ifTrue: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Aj.OqjGVrkBmY6mZqA_PSu.bvZx4?p=' , t2 , '&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701'].
    'scratch.mit.edu/' = t1 ifTrue: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/' , t2].
    'search scratch for' = t1 ifTrue: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/pages/results?cx=010101365770046705949:gg_q9cry0mq&cof=FORID:11&q=' , t2 , '&safe=active&sa=search'].
    'IMDB' = t1 ifTrue: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=' , t2].
    'load' = t1 ifTrue: [^ 0].
    ^ 0

and this one also goes in the same place:

Code:

engineNames
    ^ #('google' 'yahoo' 'scratch.mit.edu/' 'search scratch for' 'IMDB' 'load' )

and this one goes in scratch objects -> scriptable sprite morph -> class -> block specs -> block specs (just put it in sensing)

Code:

('%j %s' #- #doThis:on:)

now this one goes in Scratch Blocks -> Command Block Morph -> Private -> uncoloredArgMorphFor (delete all of it and replace it with this)

Code:

uncoloredArgMorphFor: t1 
    | t2 |
    t2 _ t1 at: 2.
    $a = t2 ifTrue: [^ AttributeArgMorph new choice: 'volume'].
    $b = t2 ifTrue: [^ BooleanArgMorph new].
    $c = t2 ifTrue: [^ ColorArgMorph new showPalette: true].
    $C = t2 ifTrue: [^ ColorArgMorph new showPalette: false].
    $d = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '0';
         menuSelector: #directionMenu].
    $D = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '48';
         menuSelector: #midiDrumMenu].
    $e = t2 ifTrue: [^ EventTitleMorph new].
    $f = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #mathFunctionNames;
         choice: 'sqrt'].
    $g = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #graphicEffectNames;
         choice: 'color'].
    $j = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #engineNames;
         choice: 'google'].
    $H = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #hookupSensorNames].
    $h = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #hookupBooleanSensorNames].
    $I = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '1';
         menuSelector: #midiInstrumentMenu].
    $i = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '1';
         menuSelector: #listIndexMenu].
    $k = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #keyNames;
         choice: 'space'].
    $L = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #listVarMenu].
    $l = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #costumeNames;
         choice: 'costume1'].
    $m = t2 ifTrue: [^ SpriteArgMorph new].
    $M = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #motorNames].
    $n = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorph new numExpression: '10'].
    $N = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '60';
         menuSelector: #noteSelector].
    $s = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorph new stringExpression: ''].
    $S = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #soundNames;
         choice: 'pop'].
    $v = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #varNamesMenu;
         choice: ''].
    $W = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #motorDirection].
    $x = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceOrExpressionArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #sceneNames;
         choice: ''].
    $y = t2 ifTrue: [^ ExpressionArgMorphWithMenu new numExpression: '1';
         menuSelector: #listIndexForDeleteMenu].
    ^ ExpressionArgMorph new numExpression: '10'

And we're done! So here are a Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is 'load' for?
A: Load doesn't do anything. It is used to make sure people using your project have the block.

Q: Will this screw up my scratch?
A: It shouldn't, but tell me if it does.

Q: Can I put this in my Source Code mod?
A: Yes, but please, please, please give me some credit!

Q: Youtube doesn't work!
A: It should work but if it doesn't tell me.

And Common Sense Dictates to NOT press the green flag on any hacked mod without checking it first.
Once, i made a program that searched your documents and cleared all .txt files.
I deleted it to make sure it didn't come back. It was in PANTHER too!!! AAHHH!!!!

Malicious code that doesn't control itself...doesn't seem that bad...

Yeah..... doesn't control itself, eh?.... you would love to see that, wouldny you? WOULDNT YOU? WOULDNT YOU?! WOULDNT YOU?!?!?

Just Kidding. It can get out of hand, though.

sparks · 2010-09-14 02:36:41

no malicious code has been submitted to the Panther site as of yet, I do carefully check every single project before I upload it, but yes, it worries me too. Even so, that's the price to pay for more control.

You should be glad you didn't accidentally run it and delete your files tongue

I like this idea, it's a lot safer than the free URL block, though in the same way as above, it's limited in it's application.

A lot of stuff.
When you put a clear file [pick random 1- 99999999] bad things happen in the Panther folder. Bad things.

I am so happy i was able to delete the script before it went insane. big_smile

This was a great idea! Now i can link to Scratch pages without having to worry about hacked browsers.... and linking to terrible sites....
At least Sparks checks the Panther uploads!!!

    Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'http://scratch.mit.edu/' , t1]

Cursor wait showWhile: just shows the wait cursor while the bit in square brackets is being performed. It isn't really necessary.

well, i suppose so. tongue
i think the best would be to hve your own custom cursor for links. i don't know what the best would be though smile

You are refering to the Panther glitch where trying to clear a non existant file will create it instead.

Exactly.

Then why didnt you create a function to [Make file []]?!?!?!\

midnightleopard · 2010-09-14 15:39:08

Yeah. Please could you not Threadjack this? Thank you!
And yes, the cursor waitwhileshow thing makes it look cooler! I think you can change it in the skin to make it look different. I might try to do a 'search google for' block.

midnightleopard · 2010-09-14 15:43:34

I just made [search google for...] block! It's amazing! Will post it later.

But 'where' is correct...
Admittedly, 'in which' would be a better choice, not 'we're.' However, you could point out the misspelling of 'referring' and 'existent.'

Finally!
Lol.
Is it possible to make a (file [string] exists) and a [make file [] ] block?
Just want to know tongue

Oh, I read your post wrong. I thought there was an implied full stop or semicolon between the boldy-red 'we're' and the 'did you learn....' Now I realize you were using the incorrect word to emphasize the other misspellings. Sorry.
