New [scratchblocks] tag

blob8108

Good afternoon!

On the old forums, you could write out scripts between [scratchblocks][/scratchblocks] tags.

We've now re-implemented the scratchblocks tag using a brand new plugin that I've been developing. It has the same syntax as the original block plugin, with some minor improvements and bugfixes.

[scratchblocks]
define dance (speed)
set [dist v] to ((speed) * (distance to [mouse-pointer v]))
repeat until <(timer) > [10]>
    move (dist) steps
    play note (42 v) for (0.5) beats
    say [Wow! Scratch 2.0 scripts in the forums!]
end
[/scratchblocks]

define dance (speed)
set [dist v] to ((speed) * (distance to [mouse-pointer v]))
repeat until <(timer) > [10]>
    move (dist) steps
    play note (42 v) for (0.5) beats
    say [Wow! Scratch 2.0 scripts in the forums!]
end

Help on writing the code can be found on the wiki.

You can test out the plugin on the test page. Please don't spam the forums with blocks!

(Thanks to nXIII for writing the glue code that hooks the plugin into the forums!)

EDIT: the test page moved!

Awesome! Yeah, it's looks much better!

<scratchblocks reimplimented?>//true
(knowen glitches)//Boolean shape not diamond

when gf clicked
forever
if <(length of [knowen glitches v]) < [5]> then
if <necessary> then
use scratchblocks
end

Oh yeah. They work!

when gf clicked
forever
if <thread will become popular> then
post [First post!]
end

So… First post!

EDIT: WOW OMG This thread has become popular! This is special to me!

w00t! Thanks for all your effort, blob8108! This is an awesome feature.

Next: We need to figure out a really nice way to show new users how to use it, preferably right in the forum post writing interface.

I Guess. And You Moved This To Announcements?

davidkt

Yay!

when gf clicked
say [I'm glad to have the old scratchblocks tag back! :D]
repeat (10)
change y by (10)
wait (0.125) secs
change y by (-10)
wait (0.125) secs
end

say [I Guess The Syntax Works.]

ProdigyZeta7

when I receive [New update! Scratchblock tags! v]
say [THANK YOU SO MUCH!] for (5) secs
change [posts v] by (1)
change [awesomeness v] by (9001)
broadcast [Spread the news! v] and wait

I had to.

Yeah, you were saying. Last time there was a large message and example below the post textbox, wasn't there?

EDIT: I posted in Suggestions to hopefully get some ideas…

Wait, you can add a tag to the forums without the ST's permission?

No. I wrote the plugin, nXIII implemented the tag (hooked the plugin into the forums), and Lightnin/the ST deployed the new code to the forums.

Sadly, my kumquats were eaten by an evil forum signature.

Oh. I keep on forgetting that

is a moderator.
Edit: yup, I just KNEW that that bug would be there…
