Hi! I've been working on a new renderer now a new parser for scratchblocks.

Please try it out, and let me know what you think!

Old parser: http://scratchblocks.github.io/v3/
Old parser + renderer: http://scratchblocks.github.io/v2/

Let me know here/on GitHub if you find any bugs. Thanks. (Or just go right ahead and send a PR!)

It's looking really gorgeous right now! I reported a few things. Are comments still being written? ‘Cause they break for me but idk if they’re just still in the works

@NickyNouse Comments should work, yes. If not, that's a bug.

It looks really good!

I'd like to point out (this really is a bug with the parser) that variables and custom procedure inputs called “end” don't end a c-block but display without any text and appear to be in the control category.

Mmm, that's true. In the new parser they'll just be yellow:

Is there an estimated release date for the new renderer and parser on the scratch forums?

Lol, no. It's not even finished yet! And the ST tend to take a while to merge things; they have lots of users, so they have to be very careful

It's scratchblocks3

All worked well, apart form custom blocks turned out obsolete for me (The actual blocks not the definitions).

Free standing comments don't work. Not only that, but if you write one, the screen no longer updates. Here is the link.

Hype!
What's the syntax for multiline rings? http://scratchblocks.github.io/v3/#(%7Blol%0Ayay%7D%20%E2%96%B6%20%3A%3Agrey%20ring)

Jonathan50

Can you make ◀ ▶ look black again?
But upvars look sort of okay: http://scratchblocks.github.io/v3/#script%20variables%20((foo)%3A%3Agrey)%20%E2%97%80%20%E2%96%B6%20%3A%3A%20grey

And this thing: http://scratchblocks.github.io/v3/#define%20foo%0A(1)%20%2B%20(1)%0Afoo%0A%0Awhen%20gf%20clicked%0Afoo

define foo
(1) + (1)
foo

when gf clicked
foo

Weird.

All the parser knows is colors, and which blocks aren't stacks or reporters. It figres everything else out from context

Also, going offtopic for a sec, but can we take a moment to appreciate these commit names out of context:

The screenshot in the readme is missing the “Export SVG” link and the “by blob8108” subtitle

Both of these things will have to wait until the new parser in v3.1.

I'm glad you're happy about upvars

Bump; seems to have been missed

Will you rework the generator and Nathan's spec to reflect the new parser? (IDK if the generator'll need to change, except to add slashes for escaped brackets)
