Re: i need help with building blocks!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I'll help!
Here is an example of a simple block that I made:
Code:
('pen size' r penSize)Ok, let's break this into bite-size pieces. The 'pen size' thing is the string for the block name. Scratch takes this string and uses it to label the block. The r (short for reporter) is telling the program what kind of block it is. And finally, there is the message selector. This is what method it should run when the user evaluates the block. If this method didn't exist (I forgot), I put it in the category (on the instance side) called 'pen ops'. This is what the method would have looked something like:
Code:
penSize
"Self explanitory. Report my pen size."
^ penSizeBut if you already know Smalltalk, then you would know how to create your methods and the syntax for them. If you need any help with that, then please tell me.
Google it. Offline

ya i know but i want to learn the "SYNTAX"
Syntax for blocks or Squeak/Smalltalk syntax? Both of which are extremely easy.

Re: i need help with building blocks!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
