How to hack your own magic custom blocks

hey hardmath, you should highlight the things you changed in that last pic. Cause no one without experience would be able to tell what they're looking at or what had changed.

Scratch 2.0 = Cloud Variables!

This works and is very cool. I understand most of the json. you can actually hack in a couple of extra cloud variables if needed (thanks to copy and paste)

thanks for the tutorial

No, it was much harder. Messing with the binary was practically impossible until Kurt, and simple hacks with shift-click-r (moving variable) didn't normally work with the Java player anyw

All I did was open it in notepad and save it as. Sb.

There used to be a meaningful signature here.

Didnt work.

Sadly, my kumquats were eaten by an evil forum signature.

I wouldn't mind at all if this was being done only with downloaded, local projects. But these are public, shared ones, that people are likely to “see inside”. Any thoughts on the issue?
Perhaps, Scratch could just detect and label projects that use non-standard blocks, inputs, etc. Over time, you could track the use of various hacks and use the data as input when considering new features to implement in future versions.

I really like that idea!

This is something that should be possible anyway, since it works and makes sense, so why not enable it in the editor?

Hardmath, could you link to a list of all ( or most ) of the keyboard codes used - like SHIFT, but I don't know what is for TAB, or RETURN / ENTER… do you have a list?

Does anyone know where I can get a free text editor that supports the JSON text? My notepad can't read it XD

You have no idea how much Scratch cradles you from the frustration of syntax errors.

What version of notepad do you have?

MIne reads it fine. It just comes out as text which it is meant to.
What does your one do?

I can't be bothered to make a signature. Seriously, who has time to write these things? I have stuff to do, games to make, and you expect me to write a big, long signature? I'm not your slave. You can't tell me what to do, so no, I WON'T write a signature.

Oh, wait…

same mine works.

You do know it is meant to look strange. It isn't just some writing it is code

exactly, it's code, even if it looks a bit different than normal. I had to to figure out how to do it without actually knowing the language at all. Thanks to liquidmetal, I was able to do this hack. So basically the question is, can it open it at all? Or are you just confused at what you're looking at?

challenge for you:
make all the list blocks accept variable input like this

item (1) of list (variable)

Pondering what to work on.

You can't change original scratch blocks, you can only edit custom blocks because they are purposefully made to be edited where as normal scratchblocks aren't.

You can put variables in them by editing the json but you can't make it accept the blocks in the editor. It'll work if you edit it in through the json but once you take the variable out you can't put it back in.

Oh, now I understand what you want. Yea, I've done that, it's really not hard

yeah it is easy, all you do is input a join block for strings to be there.
