Scratch

oh, okay.

The difference between your block and my block is that mine uses the whole value of the variable, yours uses what the variable contains, not the whole value.

Hey, since this thread got disinvited on the Panther dev forum, I'm replying here -- tell me if there's a better place:

I think my example misled you.  I was envisioning that the variable contains a letter, not a whole word, and my example block was asking "is this letter a vowel?"  The slots that had <a> <e> <i> <o> <u> could have entire words or sentences (or even lists!) so we could say

<person> IS ONE OF <john lennon> <paul mccartney> <george harrison> <ringo starr>

in a predicate function [IS <person> A BEATLE?].  Here's the complete implementation of the block:



All the individual choices on the right side of the block are automatically put into a list by BYOB, and the IS ONE OF block just uses a CONTAINS block with the list first and the variable second.

So, I'm pretty sure this is what you wanted.  If not, please clarify with an example.  Thanks!

Oh also, I thought of an idea for BYOB, you should be able to make lists for custom in the block editor blocks.

Maybe we should  move this to the BYOB forum, but you can make lists in the Block Editor.  But we're trying to wean people away from the idea that lists have to have names associated with them, especially when there isn't going to be a list watcher on the stage for these block-local lists anyway.  So you say

MAKE A VARIABLE (name=whatever)
SET <whatever> TO [LIST <a> <b> <glorp> ...]

or even better (because the making of the variable is part of the script) you say

SCRIPT VARIABLES <whatever>
SET <whatever> TO [LIST <foo> <bar> <garply> ...]

Okay, I think I will update this.

Panther gossip/rumour:
1. The next version of Panther (1.1) will have a detachable and moveable blocks pallet and resizeable stage. (Confirmed rumour)

2. Panther 1.1 will have colour variables the combined into the normal variables.

I have a mod I'm quietly developing on my own, called Shriek. It is currently not avaliable for download, because drop.io got sold to facebook    so all the files got deleted. If anyone can recommend a free file hosting service that doesn't require you to make an acount, that would be great  .

UPDATE: Look at the forums thread for the download link!

Forums thread can be found here including list of features.
