great engine!
update: (link to project)
Well.......in Scratch-Squeak most squeak functions are removed. Printing is not going to work. Try to assign the hour to a (rounded) block, and minutes to a (rounded) block. Set a variable on large display to each of them, and just have a colon in between. By the way, you won't be able to share it unless you make your source available on a website, in which case the user would have to download to see.
so i decided to put of squeak hacking since i don't have anywhere to put my own source as of now - instead I developed the desktop more into a start for an OS, but i'll be using a new username for most of my new projects since this username is the one i use at work, and it's only a temporary job - you can catch me at http://scratch.mit.edu/users/el1inas91 from now on!
hmm yeah alright - i'll work on it, i'll let you know if i have any luck!
(view all replies)I only kinda know how you could hook up the time and date. By the way, Netscratch beta has a time function. You might wanna look into that.
so what i tried was I made a block in the numbers section, since i couldn't find sensing in there.... then instead of setting the function to &, i set it to print24 which is defined in Kernel-Magnitude>Time(Instance)>Printing it doesn't seem to work - any ideas?
Ok then. By the way, there is a date function. K, this is where time and date are: Kernel-Magnitudes. All the rest of the stuff is simple. By the way, you might want the time conveyed in a ( rounded ) block so you can set a variable to it.
yep thanks - i'll look into the Netscratch beta too!
Ok, what do you know about Squeak? I need to know your full capabilities with squeak hacking. First and foremost: Do you know what a system browser is?
yep im in the source code right now - i looked through some of jen's and your tutorials on making blocks and xml
Time yes, date I have no idea. Probably.
how would i get the time into scratch?
Nice! The icons expand when double clicked :P
so i'm working on a few more minor things because i'm not too sure what to add to the basic desktop right now - do you know of any squeak hacks to get system date/time?
