Here are some blocks that could use some coding:
(layer) Bingo has it, although it only works in 1.3.0 TBR soon
(number of pen marks) Some mod has it, i've tried to find unsuccessfully
([color effect] of [sprite1]) is definitely possible, but takes up space in menu
[delete this script] what's its use?
[turn around] do you men mirror or just change heading by 180?
[Play movie clip from page {} from x: {} y: {} to x: {} y: {}] nah...
[error script]wow - how useful - you can make your own better personalized too.

no, i don't hate them. i just don't think they're all useful. i might be wrong, so feel free to argue against this 

. I guess you 42% like my ideas, but i'm not
sharing my blocks anymore here.

could someone make a exit presentation mode one

and a clone block that works in pres mode

and also a Broadcast [] to sprite []

THANKS

How can I make all blocks work in pres. mode

Which ones don't?

Well.. clone blocks
exit presentation mode

Oh and I have made a block, but when I check the reporter its says 'Sprite 1 ...'
How do I remove the Sprite 1 bit?

modify the #isSpriteSpecific: method

Isnt it
isSpriteSpecificTarget: t1 selector: t2

oh, yea, sure.

The 'Get time/date' block
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/209a5b329a.gif
Here we go!
The get time/date block reports the time, date, hour, etc. without the user having to insert it manually.

Copy this line of code into a space between two blocks in the 'control' section of blockSpecs in ScriptableScratchMorph.

Code:

 ('get %s' #r #getTime: 'date')

Then go to the instance section, then to 'other ops' and replace the code of broadcast: with the following

Code:

getTime: t1 
    t1 = 'date' ifTrue: [^ Date today].
    t1 = 'short date' ifTrue: [^ Date today printFormat: #(1 2 3 $- 2 2 )].
    t1 = 'time' ifTrue: [^ Time now].
    t1 = 'seconds' ifTrue: [^ Time now seconds].
    t1 = 'minutes' ifTrue: [^ Time now minutes].
    t1 = 'hours' ifTrue: [^ Time now hours].
    t1 = 'day' ifTrue: [^ Date today weekday].
    t1 = 'help' ifTrue: [^ 'type date, short date, time, seconds, minutes, day, hours'].
    ^ 'Error!'

then right-click and click accept. type your initials and you're ready to use the new block!

NOTE:
There's a second, more advanced version of the block, with a drop-down menu instead of a string inserter, but it involves extra coding. If you are willing to take the challenge, post and i'll edit this tutorial for you

im fine with extra advanced tutorial as it would produce less errors

please post

Thanks    (:

I've copied his way exactly. here it is:

ok. note that this is for the source code. if you are using normal scratch replace the 'code' with 't2'
into Scratch-Blocks > CommandBlockMorph > all > uncoloredArgMorphFor:
add a line that looks like this:
$t = code ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #timeDates].
back in ScriptableScratchMorph, create a new method with this code:

timeDates
^ #('time' 'date' 'short date' 'seconds' 'minutes' 'seconds' 'hours' 'weekday')

now replace the blockSpec you created with ('get %t' r getDate: 'time')

Replace the code with:

Code:

getTime: t1 
    t1 = 'date' ifTrue: [^ Date today].
    t1 = 'short date' ifTrue: [^ Date today printFormat: #(1 2 3 $- 2 2 )].
    t1 = 'time' ifTrue: [^ Time now].
    t1 = 'seconds' ifTrue: [^ Time now seconds].
    t1 = 'minutes' ifTrue: [^ Time now minutes].
    t1 = 'hours' ifTrue: [^ Time now hours].
    t1 = 'weekday' ifTrue: [^ Date today weekday].
^ 'Error!'
