Sure 

I think that you should really add these blocks next version:

First modify |clear [ ]| so that it adds "panther (newline)" as the first line.

|make file [ ]| (Clears file if it already exists, adds "panther (newline)")

|delete file [ ]| (This is why we need "panther (newline)", so this only works on files beginning with that.  That way Panther can only delete its own files, and can't harm the computer.)

<file [ ] exists?>

<file at URL [ ] exists?>

Erm, if you wanted to then delete a file not created by Panther you simply need to clear the file and then delete it if the method you describe above was used 

Hmmm...good point.  How about we forget about "panther (newline)" and make it so that only files inside the Panther directory, excluding the critical files, can be affected by |make file [ ]| and |delete file [ ]|.

I also think we really need [delete line ( ) of file [ ]|.

this is what panther is capable of: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Borrego6165/2007035

At the moment there isn't too much trouble with file writing as I carefully check anything before uploading it. I would also love a "delete line () of file []" block too but there's no command for it. If you look in the block library you'll see that Jonnydean1 made one and it literally has to process the entire file, very slow.

The annoying thing though, is making people do setups.  Make this file here, and this file there...if we had |make file [ ]| and |delete file [ ]|, this wouldn't be necessary.

Not at all. The clear file block will create a file rather than clear it if it does not exist. As for deleting files and such there are plenty of blocks under panther files here

thanks sparks, if you can't upload then delete the music. thats' what i had to do to finally upload it without using winrar. also, are you a spyro fan or is sparks just a random name?

yeah, you can fly around as him in spyro 3 too- epic!

please 

Just uploaded it    I had to host it elsewhere due to the large size but a person browsing the site can download it just as easily as the others 

I suppose it just has to take out interest    (Or my interest since I'm the only one who ever mods the site  ) I was thinking about featuring yours because the idea and gamplay is very good but I think the graphics for menus and buttons slightly let it down and starting out was a bit hard as it took a while to work out what to do! Keep at it though, it shows a lot of promise!
