ok, you're in.

1. Which language is it written in? Like all scratch mods, squeak.

2. How do we share the source code? Mediafire, or a similar file sharing site.

3. Describe how OOP works with blocks. Blocks will do things available in object oriented languages. One example would be "new instance." this block would make a new instance of this class. If it was in class 'dog', it would make a new dog sprite, with all dog scripts.

uhm... isn't scratch already object-oriented?

no. by "object", it doesn't mean sprite, but a system of classes and instances. google it if you want to learn more.

Sounds cool...

no. Object oriented allows for unlimited instances of a sprite. There are 2 types of object oriented programing: class/instance OOP and prototyping OOP. Search them up.



To designer:
The |make new instance of ()| block should actually be
|make new instance of () at x:() y:()|

We need a way to set a variable to a perticular instance, and a block that reports the current instance in use. We also need a c block called
|make () do|

and the bit in brackets is a dropdown which you can select a class of sprites and it will make EVERY instance of that sprite run the script in the c-block but also in the dropdown there will be a special option called "all" and when that is selected, every instance of everything will do it, and there will be an option called "stage" that makes the stage run it. Also, you can put a variable into the dropdown and if that variable reprisents an instance, ONLY that instance will run the script, otherwise (if the variable is not reprisenting an instance) the c block is ignored entirely.

Also, there should be a block called |delete()| with a similar input, exept without the option of selecting the stage, that will run the deletion method of the class/instance and delete the class or instance it is given as an input, and if it was a variable given as an input, the variable is set to 0.

Finaly, there should be a block called |change me into an instance of ()| which changes the instance this block is run in into another instance but preserving position, direction, costume, and any personal variables with the same name, but will NOT trigger the deletion method of the current instance or the creation method of the instance that is changed into.

working on the "make class do ()" block, but I'm having trouble converting the code from the "run" block.

you sound like a good programmer. Do you want to join?

No, I don't think so. I can't think of a way to make theese blocks work with squeak because I don't know uch about squeak. All I know is that theese functions exist in Game Maker.

sign me up as block maker (I am somewhat new to it but I have good block ideas) also, list me as Daroach not Daroach1 because I prefer it.
