Repeat until block

with some of my projects, ive noticed that the <repeat until> block has been causing me dismay because u can only insert blocks like this    <touching[ in, the diamond shaped ones.  I want to be able to do that with all blocks, not just those ones

Re: Repeat until block

it wouldn't work with anything else. booleans are shaped like that so they fit in those spaces. i mean, how would a 'repeat until (move 10 steps)' work?

Basically, nothing else works if they were put there.

Re: Repeat until block

The diamond-shaped blocks mean the value they represent can only be true/false, so it works like "do this until <something> is true". How would you continue to do something until the number 1?


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Repeat until block

What specifically do you want to be able to put in the repeat until block, maybe I can help you find a way to do what you want to do without putting in other blocks.
