Yeah, same. Are we still thinking of re-creating it from the ground up? Or just sticking to modding Scratch, I can't remember.

Re: Panther development thread

I love the idea of ground-up development, though as nXIII is the only one on our team capable of that level of smalltalk coding, It depends on what he wants to do  tongue

hmm  Maybe someone could create it as a custom block, but I don't think thats required as a default block, you could easily just have all the numbers you need in a list and have something check the list.

Re: Panther development thread

It depends how long it takes for us to fix the custom block exporting glitch.

Blockshop has,  I think, been rendered obselete by the block library. Which is cross platform friendly and works with 1.0.

Re: Panther development thread

I just fixed the glitch which makes custom C-blocks not work:

Code:

!CommandBlockMorph methodsFor: 'accessing'!
selector

customBlock ifTrue: [^ #doCustomBlock].
    ^ selector
! !


!ScratchProcess methodsFor: 'private-special forms'!
doCustomBlock

Compiler evaluate: ((stackFrame expression customBlockCode)) for: self logged: false.
! !

Re: Panther development thread

Where does that go? Math or nXIII need to see this so we can add it to the image!

Neat piece of code, RCG! Thanks!

You put the code in a workspace, and 'file it in' (highlight code, right-click, 'more...', 'file it in').

Re: Panther development thread

This may be too hard, but could you add an menu option that prevents the stage from updating unless you use an 'update stage' block? It would make Scratch almost as fast as most programming languages! (if I properly understand the cause of Scratch's slowness)

Re: Panther development thread

Is Panther still being worked on? If so, when will the next version be released? :3

I remember when Panther was released and I downloaded it... ah  big_smile

Re: Panther development thread

You should delete the last line in the deletingWatcher method. It doesn't seem to do anything, and just raises an error.

Re: Panther development thread

how about, for the (contents of file at URL [http://]) block, have it report the contents of the page instead of the source.

Re: Panther development thread

I think that Panther is not as developed as BYOB.  It could be much better with a proper installer and uninstaller, like scratch and BYOB.

That would be very tricky. It would mean that Panther would have to have its own HTML parser, and then there would be the problem of some web pages using PHP and other markup languages.

yes, but what if...
it would make some things so much easier.
what can you do with the source anyways?

Thats because Panther is only on V1.0 whereas BYOB is V3.0, Panther is being revised and updated for V1.1.

Re: Panther development thread

The whole "parser" issue: look for the < and > symbols. That should work, right?
I made a project that writes the source out to a .txt document!  big_smile
