Can you add {made with Scramble} below it? Because it was...

How do you know it was?
And I don't think we need to. ^^
EDIT: Whoa, you just got the 1100th post on this topic!

The call is Anmat:Anmat:..., which is exactly how Scramble puts it. Just add 'A Scramble block' below it.

Code:

A Scramble block

Oh.
@Librarians: Should we?

It's only fair. It was made with Hardmath's program, so he should get some credit. And what logical person would name their method with the same abbreviation over and over? 

OK, you can do it.

sorry, I forgot to add that.

Considering the amount of time we have put into categorising, labelling and displaying blocks including how-to tutorials and help topics means to me that the Block Library is all about sharing blocks and making the creation and use of those blocks as easy as possible. Scramble is a system that makes Scratch block creation that much easier. It is also created by Hardmath, who has been a contributor here for some time. For these reasons I would say that the library should support Scramble is a system. I would certainly like to see Scramble become more developed as it is a little limiting at the moment but I can see it going far!

I agree.

Thanks you Sparks!

I'd also like to make one more request...

Scramble 2.0, releasing soon, will have a 'custom blocks' function, where you can add custom blocks to your copy of Scramble, and use them over and over in your blocks (they may be saved using cookies, that's still under development). Basically, you input a scrambleSpec and a scrambleScript (1 line and 10-ish lines, respectively), that Scramble uses to produce blocks.
I was wondering if you could add a Scramble Commands Library. It doesn't need to be <i>nearly</i> as fancy, because a) blocks don't have to be categorized, they all go under Custom Blocks, b) blocks don't need images, just text, and c) well... here's how I can imagine a mockup:

Square root
What it does: sets a variable to its square root.

Code:

<br><input type="radio" name="commands" value="sqrt" onclick="setBlockVal(this.value)">Square root

Code:

    if (blockName=="sqrt")
    {
        tempInputA=prompt("Enter a Temporary variable to square root.")
        document.getElementById("currentBlock").value=tempInputA+"_ "+tempInputA+" raisedTo: 0.5."
        document.getElementById("currentBlockSimple").value="Set "+tempInputA+" to "+tempInputA+"s square root."
    }

{tested}

Joeman592 can make all the graphics you need. Also, you only need to use 1 page!
What do you think?

Hey Hardmath. Perhaps this single page may go better in part of the Scramble thread? I think I'd be happy to link to it from here but it seems silly that you'd have to ask us every time you want to add something? If it's on your thread you can update and change it yourself as well as spend as much or as little time on it as you like 
You could even post a "block library update" post here whenever (a) new block(s) are added so that people are aware that the Scramble section exists? I'm assuming that the other librarians agree with this but lets see what they think 

Yeah, I agree. 
BTW, Hardmath, you should end your input tag. 
EDIT: And you used the <i> tags instead of [i].

That sounds fine—I'll make a new thread called 'Scramble Block Library'. Thanks for letting me

You didn't have to get our permission.

I actually hoped you could be a mini-Librarian. 

I want a Catch selection.
Only 1 more post is needed for Catch! -- you can fill it in at post #41.

Well, Scramble has it's own block library, can I make a Catch! one then?
Also, Panther blocks do not dither greatly from Scratch blocks. All it has is using $ for inputs instead, and it can be made directly without hacking.

Or, propose a new method. Like Scramble, you put "made by Scramble" in the block, don't you?

Well then, for Catch! blocks, you would do "made by Catch!".

I'm not sure you quite understand. Scramble is a system that you can use to make Scratch blocks, not a mod, which is why it has a section for usable processes, not blocks and we advertise the blocks as "made with Scramble" because the library want to make block sharing easier for users and so wish to promote the application. Panther blocks are similar to Scratch blocks but their layout and application differ quite a bit, especially as they can be downloaded directly into a project.

Can Catch blocks be added in a way dissimilar to any of the currently supported methods such as different code being required or different steps being taken? If not, Scratch blocks will work perfectly with Catch as they do for most mods.
