Thanks! I made this one for fun! You can improve the speed a little bit more, but it is going to fast to register beyond that, so it is hard to do in Scratch!

could this cause epileptic fits? it flashes quite alot

Presumably no, because it is not flashing quickly enough, and it is just a few dots as opposed to a whole screen.

Yeah I know what you mean..... But still, It takes alot to make a simple program when you know next to nothing about the programming language...... VB is dead simple to learn, Java takwes a while, but squeak...... I dont know how long........... lol

Actually you probably know more about Squeak syntax than you think. For example, in VB = means "is assigned the value of" unless it is in an if statement. In Squeak, _ means the same thing. Another thing which makes it relatively simple is that if you know English, you know most of the syntax already. In the sourcecode, I figured out that whatever is in the single quotes is how the block will appear because I recognized 'wait %n secs' to be the wait block.

Following a logical pattern, that %n is an opening. A numerical opening, hence the n. If it is %b instead, it is a boolean opening.

Cool, I'm having trouble opening the Source File..... Anyway, if VB and Squeak are that similar, with booleans and stuff like that then shelling stuff and reading files in scratch hopefully wont be 2 hard.... and if so then scratch will become a mad frenzie of many-another thing....... Looking into it now!

Dude, u must be a serious programmer... I mean, I know alot of Java and VB but ur knowledge of Squeak (although most of it was Jens) Isn't bad at all........

Nope! When I first started Squeak I thought it was insanely hard. But after a while, it started to make sense. It became very easy. I know almost nothing of Java (I can make words but that it about it, I used the Jcoder, maybe if I used NetBeans or Greenfoot I would have been more successful) and VB is kinda simple, albeit the things you can make are complex. Most of what I know of Squeak came from trial and error.

Actually all computer images I think are shown this way(correct me if I'm wrong) I think they're just flickering dots flickering too fast for us to tell.

Yes, but not too fast for a camera to tell :P thats why they flicker on tv unless the images are simulated.

Very cleaver. Have you tried it with smaller dots and a smaller area covered in hopes of improved speed and less flicker? Just a thought:)

Thanks! Actually, size does not matter. Motion does not matter. Paddle2See tested it out as seperate backgrounds, and it was still flickering.

HI! It displays it on the webpage just fine. Anyways, I've been working on a simple polygon filler. I have it to an almost finished state, but when it gets to the top of the polygon, it flies out of it! I'll have to work on that... Also, I still need it to be able to locate the lowest point on the polygon for it to start if this were to become something like a 3d raycaster/renderer, a simple 3d filled-in cube, ect. Also, I need to work on the speed quite a bit.

Raycasters do not involve filling of shapes, just drawing stuff based on shapes. Good luck with that!
