Uh...I don't know how to use any Scratch mods, but I think it would be useful to have a block that says:
[lock layer position of sprite [ ] ]

So, in other words, if you told a sprite to [go to front] and then used this block, even if you told any other sprite to [go to front] it wouldn't be in front of the first sprite. Get it?

You could just do
forever
  go to front

How do I make block specs? I have a really cool block I want to share, but I can't!

What do you mean make block specs? What you do is:
('what will be written on your block' #- #methodName)
for a text insert put
('text: %s ' #- #methodName)
for a number insert
('number: %n' #- #methodName)
for a boolean insert
('boolean: %b' #- #methodName)

for a boolean block:
('boolean' #b #methodName)
for a reporter:
('reporter' #r #methodName)

Well sparks, you might as well give scimonster the password to your account, other wise what will he do next! He already stuck his tung out at you! LOL XD    (BTW: I almost forgot one more thing, my real name is Jay, last name is Liar, and middle name is Kay.)

siriusblack, you can't link us to an image on your computer, it would be slightly scary if we could view all the files on your computer just like that. What you need to do is HOST the image using a free image hoster. This basically lets you upload any image on your computer and store it online with a link that you can post in the forums. If you Google "free image hosting" you will find a myriad of different service providers eager to have you on board! Once you have loaded your image online, get the link to it (right click on the image and select "copy image location" if you're using Firefox, if you're on Internet Explorer use it to download Firefox or right click, choose "view image" and then copy the address to the image in the address bar at the top of the window.

You can then paste it into a forum post like this:

Code:

[url]"your image link goes here WITHOUT speech marks"[/url]

P.S - you've inadvertantly given away your name in the above post as it's in the path you gave to your image. If you want to keep your name secret I suggest you edit your above post 

Not sure if anyone but me wants to keep their name a secret *looks at image from older post*
http://www.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/1/3/5 … 76.png?443
I mean look at some other usernames: Jens, jay, Miles Fletcher err... I mean... who else is there to put on there?

Do you know my name? Of course not. I keep secrets!

I have a new idea! Little projects of how blocks could be used. They can be downloaded just like the block itself.

For example the block. Four dots the you can move around to make different shapes. (I have it programed by the way.)

And I already have the art.



Tell me what you think

SSBBM, I think that's a great idea! One of the main things stopping people from using things like the block library is the difficulty in understanding what things do, how they work or how to apply them! I think example projects like those would be a welcome addition to the posts! I have a load of robotics coursework to do this week, but the deadline is friday meaning that next week I should  finally have time to do an update and I will certainly add this idea of yours when I do. Feel free to post example projects here and I will put them next to the correct blocks then!

Old blocks you didn't add are coming back to haunt you, sparks.











And I worked so hard on these! *Starts to cry* WHY? WHY DID YOU JUST LEAVE THEM? WHY?

No, really I would like them added. So when you do your big update, make sure you don't forget.


Also I have three examples done. draw quad, pre costume, and revolve (which still needs credit to Kileymeister).

Hey sparks,
Do you think we should move this topic to a new user? Like YourLocalBlockLibrary? One multiple people know the password to. That way while you have tons of school to do, somebody else, whom you trust, can add blocks or new things you approve. It just seems like you have too much work outside scratch to do.

I like the idea and it shouldn't take to long to set up.... give me a moment. I'd been thinking about this for some time!

Right, the account YourLocalBlockLib has been created! I'm going to offer the position of moderators to the following people, please do not be offended if I don't choose you, I'll have my reasons    I am going to appoint four moderators and that is it so here we are:

SSBBM: High levels of support to the library he's contributed an impressive 29% of all the BYOB blocks in the library making him top BYOB contributor. It was his idea to allow moderators onto the site and many of the features you see on it are his brain children too!

Scimonster: His high standards for grammar, spelling and continuity have kept me in check and greatly reduced the number of mistakes in the library, his dedicated attention to detail is just what the Library needs!

The Successor: Always chastising me for missing things out, his scrupulous attention to detail and a wonderful sense of fairness and equality will help keep the Library a friendly place.

Pecola1: He's been with us for quite a while now and has shared 24% of all the Scratch blocks in the library making him top Scratch block contributor! He has the dedication and excitement for the library to make a great moderator. (Please start sharing your block images as actual-size rather than grossly enlarged  ) He is likely to promote the task of moving all the blocks to a different webhost than imageshack so that everyone can see them!

All of these Scratchers have shown a lot of dedication to this project and I think are the best suited to helping keep this thread friendly, useful and fresh! There are many other people who have added their parts to this project and each one is greatly appreciated, it was very tough to choose these four out of all those helpful Scratchers! Remember, you can continue to be a big part of the Library by sharing your ideas with the world!

To all the above people, If you are interested in the position, please email me at purplesparkz@ymail.com (this isn't a private email and isn't connected to me in any way but Scratch so I see no problem in posting it here) and let me know if you are interested. You are welcome to turn it down, but if you accept I can email you the password to the new library account right away!

Thanks to all of you for making this thread such a valuable addition to the Scratch community!
