Scratch

Hey, I thought of a way to speed up Morphic textboxes: when clicked, make them prompt() for the input text. This'll work on mobile devices, too!

@roijac:  Below is an excerpt from my email.  Please fix...
I am trying to install BYOB on Xbuntu but using deb installer (http://byob.berkeley.edu/byob-3.1.1-4thlinux.deb) causes dpkg errors. Could you (or roijac) check it's correctness (I cannot even check the dependencies)?

Well, that was my problem in fact. I didn't think to check the Scratch forum for BYOB.

is he installing with USC? it doesn't work with it, he should try GDebi

After installing BYOB manually on Xubuntu (ubuntu with XFCE), I managed to install the deb package downloaded today with GDebi.
Well, to be honest I did the same several times with GDebi and dpkg before manual installation, and it has always shown an error with the package (I havent written it down, so I cannot say what the error was - it simpy refused opening the package).
Neverthless it has installed correctly now (maybe the download was corrupted).

Thank you and sorry for bothering.

no problem!

I'm no expert    well, you could say I don't really know anything about squeak and stuff like that.

try open the coordination watchers, and drag the sprite

Three new things:

Checkboxes for watchers

Good eye!

The sprite corral isn't yet in the works, but I wanted to freeze the stage size to get used to it.

One more new thing: block labels are slightly more complex (embossed).

lists!

I'm still working on lists. Right now I've completed the first pass at list watchers. Since lists are first class citizens of Snap we're not going to have named "make a list" lists, instead you can assign a new list - reported by the LIST block - to a variable, and this will turn the variable watcher into a list watcher. Another effect of first class lists is that you can have several different variables pointing to the same list. In this case, each variable/list watcher gets updated whenever the list changes either through blocks or by editing one of its watchers.

First list trial

The watcher does nort work for the "second" list "asil"

An explanation of some abstract BYOB blocks. Please check it out!

^^ This got buried under the list excitement... 

EDIT: Oh, and can you add 25 pixels of blank space under the last block in the frame? It gets blocked by the FireFox scrollbar.

Right click. Demo. ListWatcherMorph.
Also, it is as slow as a slug when it's not the only tab open.

@Jens
When you make a "one-level" list the size of the box of the watcher can't be changed by using the triangle mark.
But if you make a "three-level" list of list of list, then the size of the 2nd and 3rd level watcher boxes can be changed, but not yet the size of the 1st level box.

@xly, they both can be changed 

@jens, the watcher gets resized every time you reassign it. also, how long do you think it will take till blocks like <%item in %list> or (%n of %list)?
