cool! sparks! can you do a write() block?

sparks · 2010-10-27 14:50:33

write what? if you want to write text to a file, you need a code like this:

write $String$ to file $String$ -

writeText: t1 toFile: t2

simple as that!
well, that's a Panther block anyway. A good thing to remember is that you can't write $number$ arguments to a file, so if you wanted to write a block say, called "write $Number$ to file $String$", you would first have to turn the contents of the number argument into a string (asString) like this:

writeText: t1 asString toFile: t2

not sure this is relevant to your question, but it seriously helps if you know about the asString tongue

Oops! Accidently opened a closet of blocks.

(pi) operators by zorket

blockspec:

('pi' #r #getPi

Code:

getPi
^ 3.141592653

( (color) effect) looks by ls97

blockspec:

('%g effect' #r #getEffect: 'color')

Code:

getEffect: t1 
    filterPack ifNil: [^ 0].
    'blur' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack blur].
    'brightness' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack brightnessShift].
    'fisheye' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack fisheye].
    'color' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack hueShift].
    'colour' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack hueShift].
    'mosaic' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack mosaicCount].
    'pixelate' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pixelateCount].
    'pointillize' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack pointillizeSize].
    'saturation' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack saturationShift].
    'transparency' = t1 | ('ghost' = t1) ifTrue: [^ self transparency].
    'whirl' = t1 ifTrue: [^ filterPack whirl]

To get extra effects:

scratchObjs > scriptable scratch morph > all > graphic effect names

graphicEffectNames
^ #('color' 'fisheye' 'whirl' 'pixelate' 'mosaic' 'ghost' 'pointillize' blur' 'saturation' ).

It looks like only 2 blocks were in there, luckily.

sparks · 2010-10-31 07:18:54

I can indeed add that block! I think that the blocks in the scratch section work with pretty much any mod of Scratch as you're editing the source. They don't work with Panther because Panther has different ways of representing arguments, and I have no idea if they would work with BYOB, but I think that pretty much any mod can use the blocks from the scratch section smile

sonicjosh · 2010-10-31 09:03:03

I don't think it already here so, ('draw new costume' - drawNewCostume). No code needed!

(P.S. Sorry if it is already here...)

sparks · 2010-10-31 09:07:29

no, I don't think it is smile that's a cool block, thanks sonicjosh! I'll convert it to Panther too smile

sonicjosh · 2010-10-31 09:17:34

wink People could use it to make a game where you draw the character! Is this there? ('delete sprite' - deleteSprite)

sparks · 2010-10-31 09:56:01

yes, "delete sprite" is there, though the code is usually typed "undoableDeleteSprite" ( I think, that might just be Panther)

MarioBlender, I don't know alot about squeak code, but I'm not certain that the code you posted for "Move %m %n steps" will work, can someone verify that's a working squeak code? Thanks smile

sonicjosh · 2010-10-31 11:46:04

My delete sprite code is simpler! smile It works so my one is kind of better...

sparks · 2010-10-31 11:50:40

that's true, I don't know why it has "undoable" at the start...

nXIII · 2010-10-31 12:11:34

It's the method for deleting a sprite from the context menu, which can always be "undone" be selecting "undelete" from the edit menu. It just saves the sprite for SF's undelete.

Just a note: don't forget OffscreenWorldMorphs. "self ownerThatIsA: ScratchFrameMorph" won't work in presentation mode.

sparks, I tested the block already and here is the picture:

It can be used to make another sprite move a few steps without using a broadcast message.

sparks · 2010-10-31 16:11:11

alright then smile I've never seen one like that before tongue I'll do it now...

I'm relatively new at this, so here's my first block:

Code:

('pi' #r #pi)

Code:

pi
    ^ 3.141592653

Pretty simple, you don't have to add it if you don't want to.

sparks · 2010-11-01 12:37:08

Thanks Hardmath123, every block is appreciated! Zorket actually posted that one a few posts up from this, so I'll credit both of you in the library! I look forward to seeing more blocks from you wink
