Non-librarians are welcome to add help with the library by working on new ideas - librarians are just there to keep the library updated 

What we need is an online program that can edit the contents of the Scratch smalltalk browser. The program would be able to give a user a list of blocks with checkbox options as to which blocks they want - then add the code for those blocks to the correct section of that copy of Scratch before providing a download link to it. No idea if that's possible. If a patches system is possible to easily use with normal Scratch that will be very cool, I've wanted to find a way to make Scratch blocks downloadable too for ages!

YAY! BTW yall, I have been sick, so I just got a 2-3 hour nap. That felt good, I wonder if i can do my SAT tomorrow? I feel better. [/offTopicness] Let me tell you a problem we will run into and a way too solve it. By making a patch, you cannot simply add to a method, only overwrite it, so for the blockspec, we cannot do. UNLESS we make a dialog which would tell you, "This will over right any block you have made beside ones you download, is that okay?" How do we fix it, we simply make it so each block has its own blockspec, for example the say nothing would be:

sayNothingBlockspec
^( 'looks' ('say nothing' #- #sayNothing) )

And we could simply have a beginning patch for you to download which would have at the end
This it will also make all the blockspecs, but they will all be blank, until you download that block.

Hope you feel better! 
SAT? What grade are you in?
So it reports a block. Cool!

I am in 7th, LOL, in break time I started writing squeak for the new download feature and my friend next to me (who was also done) was like, "What the..." I WROTE ON THE PAPER I'll tell you later... its a programming code called Squeak Smalltalk. Later he thought i had said squeaky talk, and I told him what it really was and...[/offTOPIC]
I thought about what we can do, we could simply make a place named findCustomDropdown: and it would go at the end of uncoloredArgMorphFor:. The method would be like uncolored arg morph for only it would contain only the custom ones, it would on the first download (THE ORIGINAL PATCH) make all the drop-downs and at the end it would have report the default number drop-down. I have some questions, should we make a remove custom block option? Also an export block?

Oh, I thought the SAT was for high school. I'm in 7th also.
lol

Oh... sorry, it was Stanford not the real SAT, I should have made it clear, Stanford goes from like 2nd to high school.

Oh.

Guys (and gals if there are any) once I get on a scratch computer I will make a test block download, but for now I can't do anything.

Great! I don't think there are any female librarians.

New block!
(I actually got this one from LS97, but I thought that it would be a good idea to have it here. Thank you LS97!)

(sprite name) block
sensing
Returns the sprites name. Could be useful in cloning projects, or in a project in which a sprite is duplicated a lot.

Blockspec:

Code:

('sprite name' #r #objName)

Thank you!

Oh yeah, no coding is required.

OK. I'll add that soon.

I've noticed some discrepancies in the Panther block layout, some have a what this block does heading, others don't. Should we abolish them, assuming the block name is clear enough description to save space, add a description to all of them to make it clearer, even if the block is very clear, or replace it with an other notes section beneath some of the blocks if we feel more clarification is needed?

Might make some changes there then 

No: CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER OF A SENTENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!one!
How about changing it from "Other notes" to "Notes" instead?
