Scratch

Realtime 3D Raycaster freezes up. But I didn't expect it to do much with that anyway.

Speed improvements for shorter-script projects are good (e.g. Requiem of Thunder seems to run a bit faster now), but longer scripts seem to be running slower (as is most evident in my raycaster projects). Either way I'd love to see some more speed optimization...new features are great and all (especially BYOB) but, like I said way back during the transition to (I think) 1.2, speed is what I personally need the most. =P

I actually like the new look of the blocks (except pick random...the dice image just seems so out of place). I'd prefer it to look less plain (and without the black background) but I can live with it. Block editor speed and scrolling, on the other hand, seems quite a bit slower than the Smalltalk version.

Other than that I was pretty impressed with the work here. It's an ambitious project, and I wish you guys the best of luck 

Boolean blocks fit inside string inserters.

Project http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/recycle49/1323299 crashes the experimental viewer (in Firefox, Chrome and IE8).

This is a great viewer, but some things should be improved. From other people's comments.

I have two questions:

- is there a way of getting the experimental viewer only show the stage. i.e. without scripts, etc?

- Is there a way of running the experimental viewer on a different website or on a local project? I would be really happy if I could do this even for a very beta version.

At the moment, I guess not. But in the future, I hope so!

Project http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/RUMCHEERYPOOPOO/1338186 does not do the walls right

For me, whenever I press the link that takes you to the EV (on any porject) it takes me to scratch.mit.edu.

So far, this Flash player has been faster than the offline program and the Java player.
On http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ThePCKid/1341820, the Flash player was the fastest. It got 2.701 seconds 

Good job on the speed (or is it just my PC)! *high five*

It's faster on mine to. If you could save edits to the projects and create new projects, I wouldn't use scratch.

That's not a bug. You can do that in Scratch too.

Oh, sorry. I meant, boolean blocks fit in side numberic inserters.

yeah, you can -- just explore the source of the HTML of the viewer and you should find the address of the flash viewer itself -- then put it in your browser and you have the viewer stand-alone (no saving tho).

Glitch: Circular blocks won't report the value when you click on them, and they don't fit inside the dropdowns they usually fit in.

Hi, love the viewer! I think I may have found a bug. On two projects in the [blocks]<set pen color to(colour picker square)>[/blocks]  block I can't choose the colour. Hope this helps!

Try THIS on the experimential viewer.

Woah! The (loudness) and <loud?> blocks work!
