My First Extension!

PullJosh

I'm not sure if this should go in MaC. If it should, somebody report this please.

I've been messing around with the (somewhat) new experimental extensions. I've made one with some blocks I think would be useful for many projects. Currently, because of the way the beta is set up, projects that use these blocks can't be shared, but they can be saved for your own enjoyment.

You can find a list of all the blocks in this extension here.

Want to try these blocks out for yourself? Here's how:
Open the Scratch editor.
Hold down the shift key, and click the file button.
Click “Import experimental extension”
Paste in this url: http://pulljosh.github.io/extensions/rawcode/EverythingExtension.js

Go to “More blocks” and try them out!

Remember, you can't share projects created with these.

Have an idea for another block? A tip for how to simplify my code? Let me know!

Edit: I've added a TON more blocks.

You should probably make “Alert” lowercase to match every other Scratch blocks that ever existed (Except Scratch days).

And don't use eval - I used to make this mistake myself. People can execute any code they want, so it could easily be abused.

1) Good point.

I'll do that someday when I'm not feeling to lazy.
2) Really? Good to know. Do you know of any alternatives?

Edit: Would this work? (Just cleaning up the string first)

Nice extension! Handy, especially the exponent. Here's my extension.

I made this extension place thing here. Can I add your extension to it?

This is pretty dangerous… You can forever open a new tab… and then things go down the tubes

Generation 2: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment.

Meh. I'm just playing with stuff. If I try to submit it, I won't include those blocks.

Yes. I can't figure out how to remove the checkbox.

Didn't you do that on another block?

It automatically adds it to some blocks but not others. I don't know what they are, so I can't stop meeting them. xD

I don't know about 2.0, but 1.4 removed the checkbox for reporter blocks that contain certain strings. I am guessing that 2.0 also does that.

You should replace some of the ‘if’ statements to ‘switch’ because it make code easier to read and update.

// Instead of this
if (pie == 'pi') {
    return Math.PI;
} else if (pie == 'e') {
    return Math.E;
} else {
    return;
}
// Use this
switch(pie) {
    case 'pi':
        return Math.PI;
        break;
    case 'e':
        return Math.E;
        break;
    default:
        return;
}

// Instead of this
if (engine == 'Google') {
    window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
} else if (engine == 'Duck Duck Go') {
    window.open('http://www.duckduckgo.com/?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
} else if (engine == 'Bing') {
    window.open('http://bing.com/search?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
} else if (engine == 'Ask') {
    window.open('http://ask.com/web?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
} else if (engine == 'Yahoo') {
    window.open('http://search.yahoo.com/search?q=' + realquery + '&fr=sfp', '_blank').focus();
} else {
    return;
}
// Use this
switch(engine) {
    case 'Google':
        window.open('http://www.google.com/search?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
        break;
    case 'Duck Duck Go':
        window.open('http://www.duckduckgo.com/?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
        break;
    case 'Bing':
        window.open('http://bing.com/search?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
        break;
    case 'Ask':
        window.open('http://ask.com/web?q=' + realquery, '_blank').focus();
        break;
    case 'Yahoo':
        window.open('http://search.yahoo.com/search?q=' + realquery + '&fr=sfp', '_blank').focus();
        break;
    default:
        return;
}

Okay, thanks! I didn't know about that.
(Well, actually, I vaguely remember seeing it a few years ago, but…)

You don't need break after return and you don't need the default case at all.

// Use this
switch(pie) {
    case 'pi': return Math.PI;
    case 'e': return Math.E;
}

Oh, well I learned something new.
