Have fun!

I ACCIDENTLY SAVED SCRATCH.CHANGES WHEN IT WAS IN NON FILL SCREEN MODE! &%$@^%!
lot of info
how do you "start up the scratch source code image!" someone please reply
this is so complicated! im afraid i would mess up my scratch program...
how do you do this with scratch 1.4.1? (i think...)
There Is No 1.4.1. 1.4 Is The Latest.
(view all replies)(link to project) I managed to create.
I didn't know that.
What's the code?I can't see it all the way.
have you used the command block?
What version of scratch is this? Please respond as soon as possible!
1.2.1
flip block works! so useful... except for it would be more useful to have one that flips up and down (over x axis). however, based on the fact that scratch already has built-in flipBy function, but could you simply change the #horizontal to #vertical and would it work? I'm trying that now...
IT WORKS! I think that flipBy: #vertical is more useful, because the cat still points in that direction, but is flipped over the axis of the direction it is pointing in. If I find this useful, what can I do with it? make a game?
(view all replies)Downloaded this project, can not see this block. Is it possible to upload/share such custom made blocks with scratch 1.4 ?
confused... how do you start up the scratch source code imazge!?!?!?
how to: (link to project)
amazing!
I got lost at the first step.
where is the .changes file?
this can be achieved by setting the rotation style to left-right and doing turn 180 degrees
JENS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS! HELP ME WITH THIS BLOCK (link to project)
when I accept the last step it takes away the "mirror the receiver's costume" and it wont flip! The block wont do anything! I will try again because this same type of thing happened before.
i also had it taken away, but it works for me. try using your great skill and putting it in twice: once under ScratchSpriteMorph and again under ScratchStageMorph. it worked for me.
if you are using scratch 1.4 instead of the word under class scratch it will say block specs and when you click it it will have another block specs.
Instead of downloading the source code, I shift - click the R, click turn fill screen off, click the white bar, open then browser. This is coding in squeak.
Ok sorry
Can you say that simpler? (No offense) I don't understand the first part
(view all replies)Made in 1.2?
yes, if I recall correctly. But it should work more or less the same in 1.4
(view all replies)Jens!! Please could answer this questioon: (link to forums) Thanks! :)
THAT IS SCARY!
Where is the...oh, and I JUST happened to look at the desc. -_-
i dont get how the spec and script got into sccar3-flip change could you plz help me, cuz i want to do that w/ me other custom blocks.
Awsome, I did it!
This is really interesting. Thank you!
this is cool
how do you get the menu to accept it up?
oh i get it. you forgot to mention that you use command not alt on a mac.
(view all replies)Thanks jens!
It has a glitch. when you make it to the end, go back a few, and how do you make it back? don't just sit there, try it!
i think i have a diffenent version.
how do you open the SCratch Source Code image?
Oops, wrong link! Go here: http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code . :)
Actually, that doesn't show the actual source code. All of that is just the decompiled version. You can download the source code here: http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Source_Code. :)
(view all replies)Shift-click the R in the Scratch logo.
(view all replies)How do you get the system browers up?
WOOT 2500 VIEW NOT KIDDING!!!!
can u make a 1.4 version?
there isn't a difference.
here are my creations. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5395643/Screenshot.jpeg
Flip horizontal and flip vertical?
(view all replies)omg thanx so much understand this now. Instance must be where the Small-Talk-80 is placed. I got it. Now I can make blocks that actually do stuff!
This would actually come in handy, because if this doesnt change the direction, you wouldn't need the "flip" action already built into Scratch.
HOLY CRUD I TRIED THIS IN 1.4 AND THE SCRATCH CAT SPRITE COLOR EFFECTED WITHOUT ANY COMMAND AND IS NOT SHOWING ON SPRITE MENU!!!! HELP!!!
(view all replies)yes it is the same for 1.4 i now have the block for 1.4 and it works
It does not work
Note: If You Do Not Know How To Start Scratch With The Image File, Then Open Scratch From: C:\Program Files\Scratch And In The Box That Pops Up, Open The Source Image File. Or Move The Current Image File To Your Desktop, And Put The Source One In C:\Program Files\Scratch
I do not understand smalltalk language.
=(
please reply back: how do we start the program?
go to where the scripts go but leave it empty. right click and click save picture of sprites. then click debug.
SQUEAK SMALLTALK AND OPEN IMAGE AS THIS SORUCE!
I got the source code and tried to do this tutorial, but when you have to select block specs the "looks flip" thingy doesnt come up.
right - since you want to create a block that doesn't yet exist you have to put that part into the method in yourself
(view all replies)Can you please make a 1.4 update?
Actually, I don't think anything has changed that's relevant to this tutorial.
(view all replies)to bad custom made blocks end up being obselete
o my gosh i got the source code for 1.2.1 and it actually works so does the block awsome can you teach me how to make a if broadcasted block that is a boolean
where does it say scratch in the system browser i did all of the steps but could not find the words scratch in the system browser
Hey Jens, I Finished All The Steps, But Now When I Try To Open Looks, It Comes Up With An Error Message. What's Wrong With It? I Am Working On 1.4, Does This Work On 1.4?
(Please Don't Talk Like This) Yes, it works (for me anyway). Maybe you screwed up or need to redownload the source code.
(view all replies)I guess, that you need use 1.2 or lower version, *i think*
Shouldn't it be a motion block?
i know a backdoor.
My computer can't open any file exept the license!
It says 'Unknown variable: horizontal please correct, or cancel'
I'm gonna try this in 1.3.1 NON-SOURCE
OMG I CAN'T! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A WALKBACK IN 1.3.1!
(view all replies)wow
how do i get to the source code image on 1.4?
could you make one for 1.4 because when i get to the part where it says "read the instruction in the comment and edit in your new command spec" it doesnt say anything about what to do in squeak.
Oh, this really did not change in 1.4. If you look at the class method mentioned there's a comment at the top which explains how to use it (to add your own blocks)
(view all replies)Hi Jens, Some friends of mine made some modifications to scratch to make it look a little different. I learned SmallTalk for the most part and messed around with Scratch in Squeak. The problem is, when they modified Scratch, I think they broke part of it. When you try to open a project before Scratch is running, Scratch will open, but not open the file. Could you give me an idea of where to start looking for the problem? Thanks!
Hi auron155, they would need to save the image in user mode using the developer's menu (btw the Scratch 1.4 source code has just been posted today), so that ScratchFrameMorph >> #startup is called at every application launch
