These would be handy for a game that you actually move around in

I can't see that working as block, I've just spent a lot of time working on object recognition/following using the colour blocks and the webcam. I have a lot of code and not much progress to show for it, so I can't see it becoming a block 

@PF, You are really excited about that vacation, huh? 

okay then. I was just wondering. I still want something like that block to make a game that YOU move around in a camera and it turns it into an interactive thingy

I need serious advertising right now.

When my test account gets Scratcher status I'll put a banner with my name on.

Block request!

Requested for: Panther.

(added to requests)

I think I made this in my OLD panther projects (where I experimented with the camera)

Yay!  I was making this block for Rocket, and felt it should be shared.  It detects if the sprite is draggable or not.  This is also the first block that I've made myself fully 

Block Specs:
('draggable' #r #draggable)

NO CODE 

I put it under 'motion' category

Thanks sparks for the ORIGINAL LIBRARY!
Just in case people want to see what it used to be like...
Please note: I kept the Sparks's EXACT quote from here, only changing URL tags to IMG tags.
I'm assuming you had smilies disabled there...

Welcome to your block library! One of the most important and beloved features of Scratch are the blocks, and a great deal of time and effort has gone into making the blocks you see. When building Scratch, the team specifically designed the code so that it would be as easy as possible to add new blocks, and many people have done just that!

This topic aims to bring together a collection of useful block code for experimenting Scratchers to try out and learn from, embracing the program and share parts of the Scratch Motto and hopefully letting users use what they learn here to imagine their own blocks!

This library currently deals with three types of block, and they are displayed under separate headings with explanations or explanatory links to avoid confusion. The three types are

Scratch Block
These blocks can be added directly into scratch.

BYOB Blocks
Built in the popular version of Scratch, BYOB blocks are composed of many other blocks and the code for these will probably be displayed as a block image.

Panther Blocks
Another popular version of Scratch, Panther has a "make a block" feature that lets users easily write block code to do pretty much anything.

So to all you curious Scratchers and viewers alike, I bid you welcome. Welcome to the Library!

How to add one of these blocks to Scratch:
I suggest visiting this excellent forum page. It has a full explanation from Billyedward. You can also look at this detailed explaination on the layout of blockspecs by ScratchReallyRocks

how to add one of these blocks:
You need to download BYOB (Build Your Own Blocks) from this link to use the blocks shared in this section. A really helpful guide to understanding how to build your block can be found at this forum thread

To save space on this thread, any BYOB blocks shared will be displayed as links to images, rather than embedding the images to this thread directly. Just read the block description and click the link to the image if you want it.

How to add one of these blocks:
To use the Panther coded blocks, you need to download Panther from this link.

To add a block code, you need to open Panther, go to the variables tab, scroll down and click the "make a block" button at the bottom. You will get a popup window with three text boxes and a colour square. The long thin one at the top needs to have the block name in it. The square one to the right with a "-" in it defines the type of block (reporter, stack etc.) and the large one below them is for the block code.

Wow. So underdeveloped! I like the new logo, but it's VERY interesting to see the old.
If I could correct spelling/grammar there...

That's where I got it from.    I quoted stickdude's quote, removed his text, and changed the url tags to images. ;P

2) The code should be

The code should be nothing. The selector can be #error, and it will work.
