Whiskers: Scratch 2.0 for Incompatible Devices
Just to repeat an earlier request - Scratch 2 updates x/y positions “live” whereas 1.4 doesn't - the Scratch 2 way makes life SO much easier for new Scratchers doing animations
On a last to be done but great feature - the for block (I've ALWAYS wanted Scratch to have a for block ) can I suggest syntax change from
for in
for from 1 to
I've never understood why MIT have not added this block as its a fantastic “lowering the floor” block

On a separate note - I'm going to try and get a class to use Whiskers in the last days of this term - just to see how it fares in the real world

Whiskers: Scratch 2.0 for Incompatible Devices
I just created this little prog entirely using Whiskers - all went fine - no errors - loads and saves no trouble

How you've managed to get this far in such a short space of time is absolutely amazing
PS Can I have some icing on cake sometime and have easy method to enable Mesh connections a la BYOB and Pyonkee
PPS Don't listen to enhancement requests BTW

And yes. That would be a good syntax change. It would make more sense
Thanks! I hope it goes well! On a separate note - I'm going to try and get a class to use Whiskers in the last days of this term - just to see how it fares in the real world

Cool! How I did manage how to do this: tenacity and hard work (and boredom ). I also have had prior squeak and image editing experience, so making the GUI was pretty easy. The hardest part was the following block: I just created this little prog entirely using Whiskers - all went fine - no errors - loads and saves no trouble

for each [var v] in (10)::control cstartBut it gave me the experience for making the custom blocks! (Now I have to make atomicity work)
Edit: Made this off my test account…

Could you add an option to hide all non-2.0 blocks?
Somebody should make Scratch2EXE work with this (.sb2 to EXE!)

Could you add an option to hide all non-2.0 blocks?Just asking (as we all have different ideas ) but why would you want to do that when object of Whiskers exercise is to make a Scratch 2 clone? (but programmed in Squeak and not Flash)

Yes. (Shift-click the file menu). Could you add an option to hide all non-2.0 blocks?
Somebody should make Scratch2EXE work with this (.sb2 to EXE!)
Also: minor (not!) update: Added renaming and deleting variables through the context menu, opening sprite info through the context menu, TRUE ATOMIC CUSTOM BLOCKS, and the
switch backdrop to [ v] and waitblock.
Scratch2Exe would work with this, but the only problem would be vector graphics. 2.0 seems to be unable to open vector graphics that I place (forcefully!) in a Whiskers file. Because of this, I need a converter to turn a *.svg file to a *.png (or gif, since I don't need more than one value of transparency).

How do you know we only need at most one level of transparency?Yes. (Shift-click the file menu). Could you add an option to hide all non-2.0 blocks?

Scratch 1.4 doesn't support native alpha rendering with other filters, so I would need to reprogram the whole ScratchPlugin to support it (Which would take a long time and delay Whiskers' release). I might get to it if I get Whiskers into beta (or add svg loading).How do you know we only need at most one level of transparency?Yes. (Shift-click the file menu).

I figured… I have a BIG feature planned for the next update. I won't give away too much, but it involves reorganizing the ‘sounds’ and ‘costumes’ tabs… PEBKAC - I was running image direct from download location instead of inside c:\program files(86)\Scratch folder

NO!!!!
you MUST'N add features until basics works
Well, of course its your game
Any idiot can make a Scratch mod but we need YOU to make a proper Scratch 2 clone!
