Hi NXTGeek,

you can find the download links in the first post of this thread. Enjoy!

Hi henley,

I'm not sure if I understand your request right. You can already build your own boolean blocks by selecting the "boolean" checkbox in the block editor, but you cannot - as of now - define boolean parameters for custom blocks, nor create custom loops or event-hats. Could you perhaps give me an example of a use case for these ideas? I'm curious how this could help expanding BYOB. Thank you!

i mean something such as the " if < >" block shaped like a C the part that looks like < > is what i want on BYOB, i also what the "C Block"

lol,    I looked, but I guess not hard enough...

..I have been know to miss things under my nose.

Never mind, I fixed it.

I tried using BYOB but all I can really do with it is make shortcuts: i can put a whole script into one block. Is that what its meant for?  Or is there a way to make REAL new blocks like the ones in my project http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/illusionist/213984

It has to be boolean. a <[] recieved> block isn't.

I've been thinking about things like that too. I have thought up whole things where you physically build your own block- kind of like a Realbasic editor or something. And it has something like where you can make a block with a selectable group of windows, and you can choose what options there are in the thing, and it can include specific things, like the drop-down menu for "( {abs,sqrt,sin,cos,tan,asin,acos,atan,ln,log,e^,10^} of (0) )", or something with special variables, like a certain sprite, a variable, or something that you can choose what to include or not include, very complex. And also, to have several special types of variables: numerical, string, boolean, color, or the complex sprite, variable, costume, etc. variables that can be made so that, in the end, it is possible to make a "<color {|color var|, any} of sprite {|sprite var|, stage, any} is touching color {|color var|, any} of sprite {|sprite var|, stage, any}>" block. or, especially useful, some kind of block that can sort a certain list, or even the "[point in direction {0 up, 90 right, -90 left, 180 down}]" block. You can, also, make a block shaped special ways. just, something that would be able ot replicate any of the current blocks. although this is a very unlikely idea...

What do the blocks do?

Variables should be able to hold strings!

Variables can hold strings in Scratch (since version 1.3). You can write anything - including a string like your name - into the "set variable to ___" command block. In BYOB you can pass  a string as parameter to a custom block by first assigning it to a variable. You can also let a custom block return a string by similarly assigning such a string to an answered variable.

I Can't Read The "PDF Read Through" Cause It Opens In WordPad. But Can You Tell Me How To Fix It or Could You Make It In WordPad or Is The A Topic/Post I Can Read?
Thank You For You Help Everyone.

i found a glitch; if you make tons of % like this %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%f you get tons of boxes and then a <> slot or other assorted things (once i got a math dropdown box *shiver*) and it gives you an "internal error" and if you play with it some you get a " **system error handling failed** "

thanks for listening i'll put up some screenshots of it up and give a link

is there a mac version?
