More blocks:


Go to random x/y position:

Code:

('go to random x-y position' #- #randxypos)

Code:

randxypos
    self gotoX: (self randomFrom: -240 to: 240)
        y: (self randomFrom: -180 to: 180)

Distance to given point:

Code:

 ('distance to x %n y %n' #r #dist:and:)

Code:

dist: t1 and: t2 
    ^ (self xpos - t1 * (self xpos - t1) + (self ypos - t2 * (self ypos - t2))) abs sqrt

Reports greater value of two numbers:

Code:

('greater of %n and %n' #r #greater:and:)

Code:

greater: t1 and: t2 
    t1 > t2 ifTrue: [^ t1].
    ^ t2

Reports lesser value of two numbers:

Code:

('lesser of %n and %n' #r #lesser:and:)

Code:

lesser: t1 and: t2 
    t1 < t2 ifTrue: [^ t1].
    ^ t2

Tells whether or not pen is down:

Code:

('Pen down?' #b #penDownorUp)

Code:

penDownorUp
    ^ penDown

Gives a random truth value:

Code:

('true or false' #b #truefalse)

Code:

truefalse 
    | t3 t4 t5 |
    t3 _ 1 min: 2.
    t4 _ 1 max: 2.
    t5 _ RandomGen next * (t4 - t3) + t3.
    t3 isInteger & t4 isInteger
        ifTrue: [t5 _ (RandomGen next * (t4 + 1 - t3)) truncated + t3]
        ifFalse: [t5 _ RandomGen next * (t4 - t3) + t3].
    t5 = 1 ifTrue: [^ true].
    t5 = 2 ifTrue: [^ false]

Gives one of the inputs, randomly. These are 2 blocks.

Code:

('%s or %s' #r #a:orb:) ('%b or %b' #b #a:orb:)

Code:

a: hi orb: bye 
    | t3 t4 t5 |
    t3 _ 1 min: 2.
    t4 _ 1 max: 2.
    t5 _ RandomGen next * (t4 - t3) + t3.
    t3 isInteger & t4 isInteger
        ifTrue: [t5 _ (RandomGen next * (t4 + 1 - t3)) truncated + t3]
        ifFalse: [t5 _ RandomGen next * (t4 - t3) + t3].
    t5 = 1 ifTrue: [^ hi].
    t5 = 2 ifTrue: [^ bye]

Joins the two values with a space in between.

Code:

('join %s and %s with a space' #r #join:spaces: #hello #world)

Code:

join: t1 spaces: t2 
    ^ t1 asString asUTF8 , ' ' , t2 asString asUTF8

The key [^] pressed block with a string input instead.

Code:

('key %s pressed?' #b #keyPressed:)

Code:

no code needed

Asks the input in a dialog box and reports the value.

Code:

('ask %s and report' #r #ask:)

Code:

ask: t1 
    | t2 |
    t2 _ StringDialog ask: t1.
    ^ t2

You do noticed some of those blocks were copied. Like the or blocks. The only ones I see very necessary are the lesser of, greater of, distance to, random x y, ask and report.

does anyone have the link to the script image for meowmeow55's block? I accidentally lost it while updating 

How does the quit BYOB block work? Freeze up?

See this thread.

Yes I made the block and noticed i was playing around once and made it! It closed BYOB and I was sad cuz I didn't get to save it.

I found out how to make a transparent block on Panther! (you all probably know this) In the color box click and then drag it off of the Panther window.

You put so much work into this guide sparks 

I wanted to enter in that christmas contest, but it wouldn't LET me grab it's URL.

  Pecola, why?

... then I can't really help you, I don't know where you've loaded it...

Just an idea... why don't you make this into a website? Maybe you could add a form were users can upload their own block automatically. 

I've been thinking about this for a while and there are a lot of things to consider there.

For:
A website would allow me to moderate it, and probably allow me to cut back on the amount of work needed to add a block.

With a website, a form could potentally allow a user to instantly share their blocks.

Catagorised searching, download counting and other nifty tools could be introduced to make things more exciting and easy to use.

Other people could act as moderators when I'm busy or on holiday.

Once I leave Scratch (going to Uni soon) Someone will be able to keep this post alive.

Against:

This is currently on the Scratch site. It makes it part of the community and is easily accessable for all scratchers.

It's an I-topic'd thread, and I'm not sure clearing it and just posting a link to a website I own is allowed...

Constant posts keep this thread near the top, where new users are likely to discover it and benifit from the contents. Allowing it to sink to the bottom will reduce the usage it gets. Not as many people will see it through the stickied link post at the top.

I quite enjoy exploiting the bbocode in every way possible to make this an unusual and colourful thread. It's a challange!

I'd have to pay for a website host.

I don't know much HTML and next to no php. So most of the features in the "for" section above would not be possible to implement.
______________________________________________________________________________

So if all the problems in the against section could be solved more or less, Yes, I'd love to make it a website

Sounds interesting... If you want to work in collaberation with me, Daffy22, I'd love to give it a go    (If you've got time with all the other stuff you're doing!) Certainly, I've got the next two weeks off sixthform, so apart from a few essays, I have bundles of time!

I was thinking about this for a while, but I never got around to talking about it. I'd love to help!

Oh, and I have the giant key blocks for the download thing. I'll send them to meowmeow55 now.

You left off a bunch of script in the <key [] pressed?> block!
