According to the grammar it supports “red orange yellow green blue purple black white pink brown,” under c0 which I guess stands in for a color input. That doesn't seem to be functional though and I also just get a black pen

http://tosh.tjvr.org/help/guide/ refers to ( ) as “brackets” but that typically means [ and ] characters right?

I've always heard them called (parenthesis), [brackets], and {braces} myself

Not that you're not entitled to speak your native language, but maybe a note about this the first time you say “brackets” would be good.

I see you're using the new scratchblocks on the guide page. They're…sooo..beautiful…

I didn't even realize they weren't images until now. Awesome!

tosh actually changes the numeric ‘set pen color to’ block to ‘set pen hue to’.

Well, here's an annoying bug: if your project causes an infinite loop (at least in an atomic block), tosh freezes entirely (& you better hope you saved your work!)

More specifically, this script freezes tosh:

when flag clicked
crash

define-atomic crash
set i to 0
repeat until i=1
end

Not sure if that's your fault or nxiii's though.

Yeah, @Liam suggested something like this. I can use the shiny new scratchblocks

My thought was (going back to something I did in a previous version) to have scratchblocks in the auto-complete thing. But I need to rewrite completion anyway…

Ooh, did you find an ambiguous input? Tell me!

The top bar seems so off. I don't know. It's a nice bar, and it's a nice editor, but they don't seem to… fit.

Maybe try something sans?

Overall though: 10/10 was worth the hype

Yes. Oops. I didn't document that, did I…

Phosphorus doesn't force-yield every 500ms inside atomic blocks, the way Scratch does. I don't think Nathan's going to implement it. I tried to write a patch for this, but it was a bit iffy, and any way you do it it's going to make phosphorus slower.

I agree I just don't know phosphorus well enough. I'll figure out a fix eventually.

• Run phosphorus in a sandboxed iframe (probably not very effective)
  
• Run phosphorus in a separate thread using Web Workers, and “polyfill” the necessary canvas/DOM functions to modify the outside page
  
• Forget about performance and modify phosphorus

Suggestion: Please allow us to do “when GF clicked.” Scratchblocks lets us do this, after all.

It's about the “when gf clicked” syntax in scratchblocks:
