Whoa, I'm impressed. Why does either of you still remember anything about old BYOB?

Hey, I have a little issue, I want to try and convert my file to exe it works however what's irratating me is on the top it says B.Y.O.B I want it to be the title of the game is there a way? Thanks
Here's one way, open the file “BYOB Development”, shift-click Edit and turn fill screen off, then click on the white space and open a browser.
Go to Scratch-UI-Panes, ScratchFrameMorph, private, updateProjectName, and modify the method and go Alt+S or Command+S.
I completely commented out everything from projectTitleMorph to the next period by putting it in double-quotes and put the line “s _ ‘test’.” below it (put the name of the game instead of test).
Then you can close the browser, shift-click edit again and save image for end user.
Open BYOB again with your project and compile the project again, now when you open the compiled project it will say the name of the game in the title
(although it does flash “BYOB.image” for a second, I don't know what to do about that)
If you like you can change it back now, this won't affect your new compiled project but you'll have to change it back again when you want to compile it again. I guess it's possible to change makeExe to do this for you each time using the project name though.
Maybe there's a better way but I hope this helps
I want to use the browser version of Snap! BYOB what do I do now?

If it's the most recent one, it's called Snap!, not BYOB (although it still has “Build Your Own Blocks” as a subtitle).

If you want to make a local standalone executable of a Snap! project, first “Export project” from the File menu, and save the resulting XML file. Then go to http://snapp.citilab.eu/

I use BYOB, but every once in a while I go to Snap!

Why?

(Not meant sarcastically. If there's something BYOB does for you that Snap! doesn't, I want to know about it.)

(I know there are things BYOB does that Snap! doesn't yet, and we're working on it, but I want to know what someone actually uses that maybe should be higher on the priority list.)

Your acronym project seems misleading. U.C.B. is an initialism, not an acronym. But M.O.A.B is an acronym. Or A.I.D.S.

The CAPITALBOYS will protect me from kumquats.

@ bharvey

Is there an “easy” method to import or convert a Byob project into a Snap! one ???
Thanks

Yup, just drag it in! Certain things won't work because they're not yet implemented in Snap!, such as text in costumes.

What dictionaries say does not matter, this language is generally considered to be described not prescribed

Sorry, this happens once in a long while and I don't know why. Please email me (bh@cs.berkeley.edu) your Snap! username and the associated email address and we'll get it fixed.

We don't have a standalone version so far, but you can make your own by loading an empty project into Snapp! and telling it to make a standalone version with the “code accessible” block checked.
