Scratchblocks tag: name?

blob8108

I'm vaguely hacking on adding the scratchblocks tag to the forums, in order to push the code to the ST on Github.

Should the tag be called [blocks] or [scratchblocks]? I prefer the former ‘cos it’s shorter, but I can see an argument for using the latter, as it's familiar.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Forget I said anything, looks like nXIII's already implemented it…

I vote for [blocks], but my preference is [code scratch]/[code snap].

It took me long enough to get this far – no way am I going to try figuring out the internals of the [code] tag!

Interesting. According to this bug, nXIII's already implemented it.

Aha! It would seem he's pushed to Github, but they haven't updated the server yet.

I implemented it, we haven't quite deployed it yet. I stuck with [scratchblocks] so that we didn't have to explain the change to everyone.

Mmm, I figured that might happen. Thanks for implementing it!

Do you know how hard it might be to update it in future?

You'd have to do it manually—I just stuck the contents of build/ in static/. It might be worth adding scratchblocks2 as a submodule and then symlinking part of it into static/, though.

Actually worked on a Scratch lexer for pygments a bit ago-easy enough, really, it can just look at a bunch of regexes-but gave up when I realized I couldn't easily do custom colors, because pygments relies on predefined styles:

class DefaultStyle(Style):
    background_color = "#f8f8f8"
    default_style = ""
    styles = {
        Whitespace:                "#bbbbbb",
        Comment:                   "italic #408080",
        Comment.Preproc:           "noitalic #BC7A00",
        #Keyword:                   "bold #AA22FF",
        Keyword:                   "bold #008000",
        Keyword.Pseudo:            "nobold",
        Keyword.Type:              "nobold #B00040",
        Operator:                  "#666666",
        Operator.Word:             "bold #AA22FF",
        Name.Builtin:              "#008000",
        Name.Function:             "#0000FF",
        Name.Class:                "bold #0000FF",
        Name.Namespace:            "bold #0000FF",
        Name.Exception:            "bold #D2413A",
        Name.Variable:             "#19177C",
        Name.Constant:             "#880000",
        Name.Label:                "#A0A000",
        Name.Entity:               "bold #999999",
        Name.Attribute:            "#7D9029",
        Name.Tag:                  "bold #008000",
        Name.Decorator:            "#AA22FF",
        String:                    "#BA2121",
        String.Doc:                "italic",
        String.Interpol:           "bold #BB6688",
        String.Escape:             "bold #BB6622",
        String.Regex:              "#BB6688",
        String.Symbol:             "#B8860B",
        #String.Symbol:             "#19177C",
        String.Other:              "#008000",
        Number:                    "#666666",
        Generic.Heading:           "bold #000080",
        Generic.Subheading:        "bold #800080",
        Generic.Deleted:           "#A00000",
        Generic.Inserted:          "#00A000",
        Generic.Error:             "#FF0000",
        Generic.Emph:              "italic",
        Generic.Strong:            "bold",
        Generic.Prompt:            "bold #000080",
        Generic.Output:            "#888",
        Generic.Traceback:         "#04D",
        Error:                     "border:#FF0000"
    }

So I would either have to create a new style (and basically lie about all the comment and keyword and operator and stuff) or create new tokens, which I vaguely stabbed at and decided was way above my learned-that-day-knowledge of python.
But if anyone else wants to help with that, I got half started. And I made a sample file for testing.
The double (()), [[]], and <<>> around stuff is for the “hole” and the “block” because of my limited regex skillz and because of coloring (?). Also, I included most of the [something v] along with their related [something] because I wasn't sure if I wanted to interpret the “v” differently. I don't. Another note: I forgot a bunch of “ secs” after wait blocks, would need to be fixed.

Could we also have [blocks] as a shortcut, because i often mess up typing out [scratchblocks]?

I don't see why not. You can file an issue in the tracker, if you'd like.

Remember when I looked like this? I still do.
