Just A Random Block Suggestion

codinggames9000

Hi. I'm @codinggames9000, and I have a block suggestion. I was thinking we could do something like…

The “Between” Block (for Operations)

<between (1) and (10)>

This block is kind of like the “pick random” block, but it would, instead of picking a random number, allow any number between the two values.

EXAMPLE:

if <<(applesCollected) = <between (25) and (50)>> and <(timer) = [60]>> then
broadcast [win v] and wait
else
broadcast [time's up v] and wait
end

That's all for now! Thanks for reading this!

Please don't make lists of suggestions and instead make a new topic for each one as it is easier for moderators and scratchers.

fixed it

Vibrato

that's not a "pick between" block. That's just between.

No support, just use a couple of these

<[] < []>
<[] > []>
<[] = []>

Vercte

Maybe rephrase it as

<() is between () and ()? :: operators boolean>

(code for it is

<() is between () and ()? :: operators boolean>

)

Support! This seems like a better way to cut down on those annoying long booleans that are long to edit.

What happens when

<between [Hello] and [Gasp!]>

The block would have numbers-only inputs.
If someone forced a string into it like that, the block would consider the string(s) to be 0, as happens when you try to add

[a] + [b] // 0

Oh

Like Vibrato said, you can just use “more than” “less than” and “equal to” blocks, to make something like this

if <<[Variable] < [20]> and <[Variable] > [10]>> then
Code

Semi support, could be useful for using less code blocks, but has an easy work around

This would make things a bit less clunky but otherwise I don't see too much of a need sorry

What would happen if it was installed like this?

if <between (1) and (10)::operators> then
end

I suggest changing the block to

<(1) is between (1) and (10)::operators> // would report "true"
<(11) is between (1) and (10)::operators> // would report "flase"

all three inputs would accept only numbers. that being the 10 digits, -, and the decimal point.
