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!
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.
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.
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.
Cool! I have a whirly toy with leds that spells things out that works just like this! This is a little hard to read on my laptop...maybe it's a bit too slow?

Squint a bit, that might help!

could this cause epileptic fits? it flashes quite alot
(view all replies)Comment Reply
Presumably no, because it is not flashing quickly enough, and it is just a few dots as opposed to a whole screen.

Dude, you spaced the letters too far apart... These things need to be closer together to work well...

Sorry, its close enough though. You can mostly see it. For a better demo, look at my most recent project. That one works way better!

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.

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

At first I though it said "Fitch" as in "Abercrombie & Fitch". Then I read ferret10's comment and relized it said "hi". neat project.

Thanks lol! It can be kinda hard to see, but you have to squint a bit.

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:)
(view all replies)Comment Reply
Thanks! Actually, size does not matter. Motion does not matter. Paddle2See tested it out as seperate backgrounds, and it was still flickering.

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