that's what i want to know. i think it looks almost exactly like the others.

should it be this?

Code:

    $A = t2 ifTrue: [^ AttributeArgMorph new choice: 'color';
         menuSelector: #attributeEffectNames].

This will not work. It would work for only bouncing left or right. Because if you wanted to bounce when pointing 90 90 + 180 = 270 (or -90) The only thing is the way that will work is using blocks... I can't figure out how to do it in small talk. it is

<turn cw( (( <direction> <*> 2 )) )degrees>

But if you were facing 0 degrease it would not turn. This is a problem.

im working on it

EDIT

just use my block
Code:
bounce
    self rotationDegrees: rotationDegrees + 180
Code:
('bounce' #- #bounce)
and use it in a if block with a <touching []?> block

so [if?<touching []?>]
[][Bounce]
[ ]

Maybe we should look at the original

<if on edge, bounce>

block.
EDIT-
no use. They use things like left bottom top right of screen. Instead of self rotation degrease > 30 and things like that. Could someone try to look at the bounce block still? Thanks
EDIT2-
made a simulation at: This place (LOL)

Is there a code to make a sensor block that senses clockwise and counter clockwise motion?

you could try, using scratch blocks, making your project broadcast 'ccw' or cw' whenever you use the block [turn () clockwise].

Maybe this would work for the bounce block:

Code:

bounce
|t1|
t1_ self rotationDegrees.

self rotationDegrees: t2 * 2

I just tried that from the back of my head, i don't know if it works.

Have a dial in an etch-a-sketch game that if grabbed and turned clockwise or counter-clockwise it should make the line go up or down depending on rotational direction.

you know, i wish we could keep this on topic more. i had to go through about 15 pages of non related - i wont say junk - stuff to get here.
move bingo somewhere else, panther somewhere else. and those

the %n in the block is the input box, where the user can put the number. in fact, %n produces that round textbox where only numbers can be inserted. here's the full list:

Code:

a:  attribute of another sprite, such as X position or size.
b:  a boolean inserter
c:  a colour picker that shows the menu.
C:  a colour picker that doesn't
d:  the sprite direction menu/numerical inserter.
D:  the menu for midi drums
e:  The broadcast message menu
f:  math function menu (with sin, abs, etc.)
g:  menu for the different graphic effects.
h:  numerical sensor board selector menu
H:  boolean sensor board selector menu
i:  midi instrument menu/numerical inserter
k:  menu for the names of the different keys, used in the key sensor blocks.
l:  menu with the costume names of the given sprite.
L:  list name menu.

n:  numerical inserter
N:  note name menu/inserter

Credit to billyedward for this list.

i is the 1/last/any of a list
I is the midi drums

The problem is that this method is all executed in one block execution, but the stage only updates the pen trails between block executions. You would need these to be activated one each block execution. This requires a special form block. I'm too busy to code one at the moment, and anyway, 75% of my special form blocks crash Scratch. I expect rubiks_cube_guy238 could make one for you.

can someone make the method for this. blockspecs:
Code:
('%Y list %L' #- #orderList)
with %Y being a new dropdown menu:
Code:
    $Y = t2 ifTrue: [^ ChoiceArgMorph new getOptionsSelector: #listOrdering; choice: 'alphabetize'].
and the choices:
Code:
listOrdering
    ^ #('alphabetize' 'reverse' 'shuffle' )
all i need is it to work. it does the dropdown menu for alphabetize, the list menu, just not doing anything when clicked.

EDIT: i'm trying this code:
Code:
orderList: t1 list: t2 
    | t3 |
    t3 _ t1 t3 = 'alphabetize' ifTrue: [t2 alphabeticalMorphMenu].
    t3 = 'reverse' ifTrue: [t2 reversed].
    t3 = 'shuffle' ifTrue: [t2 shuffled].
    ^ 'Error!'
its not coming out quite right...

is this the right method?

Code:

orderList: t1 list: t2 
    t1 = 'alphabetize' ifTrue: [t2 _ t2 alphabetized].
    t1 = 'reverse' ifTrue: [t2 _ t2 reversed].
    t1 = 'shuffle' ifTrue: [t2 _ t2 shuffled].

when i do this it says

Code:

    t1 = 'alphabetize' ifTrue: [ Cannot store into ->t2 _ t2 alphabetized].

how should i fix it?

You can't store into an argument. Just return the values right there.

Code:

orderList: t1 list: [b][color=red]t2[/color][/b] 
    t1 = 'alphabetize' ifTrue: [ ^ t2 alphabetized].
    t1 = 'reverse' ifTrue: [ ^ t2 reversed].
    t1 = 'shuffle' ifTrue: [ ^ t2 shuffled].

I have a pile of untested theory here.
Explaining instance variables.

Open squeak, and go to scratch-objects, scriptaleScratchMorph, [but stop there!]

There is a code below. See where it says instanceVariableNames? Those are all the variables. Replace the full code with:

Code:

Morph subclass: #ScriptableScratchMorph
    instanceVariableNames: 'objName vars lists blocksBin isClone media costume costumeChangeMSecs filterPack visibility volume tempoBPM sceneStates variableIsTrue '
    classVariableNames: 'BlockColorDict BlockSpecDict DefaultBackgroundForm DefaultSpriteForm DoubleSize Experimental ListBlockColor MeowSound OldMeowPrefixReversed PopSound RandomGen Recorder ScratchOrigin TimerStartMSecs '
    poolDictionaries: ''
    category: 'Scratch-Objects'

Now, add the three blockspecs:

('turn variable on' #- #turnVariableOn) ('turn variable off' #- #turnVariableOff) ('variable turned on?' #b #variableTurnedOn)

The three codes [in one code box]:

Code:

turnVariableOn
variableIsTrue _ 'true'


turnVariableOff
variableIsTrue _ 'false'


variableTurnedOn
variableIsTrue = 'true' ifTrue: [^ true].
^ false

This shows how to create an instance variable [I think]
