The run program block seems dangerous because you can run programs such as shutdown.exe, and shut the computer down

True but i don't think there is such thing as shutdown.exe

Actually, I think there is. It probably wouldn't do any permanent damage though.

There is. If you're on windows, press the start key + R and type this in the window that pops up: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe
That starts the process that shuts down your computer.

Another idea; a console in which you can enter commands which are executed. And maybe a block for it. I'd also like a built in Lua interpreter (because Lua is awesome )

Also, a built in FOR block

Ex:

for i = 1, 10 do –Increment i from 1 to 10 in steps of 1. The name of i is modifyable.

for i = 1, 10, 1 do –Increment i from 1 to 10 in configurable steps. The name of i is modifyable.

Maybe even advanced mesh blocks like in Panther, and HTTP blocks. I mean things such as:
http POST [url], http GET [url], host mesh, join mesh [ip], <is hosting mesh [ip]>, (get mesh ip)

These blocks do:
Post to an URL, get an URL, host a mesh session, join a mesh session at ip, check if ip is hosting mesh, get the IP in use by Scratch for mesh

I know this request might seem crazy, but I would like to see a version of scratch that works a lot like Adobe Flash (particularly CS4 and above.) Instead of actionscript, you would use scratch blocks for coding on action layers.

can you give me the mesh blockspec and code on my profile?

3D Scratch. It can happen. It should have an easy to use 3d modeler and should use either blocks or a new programming language for code and scripts.

It would be a simple editor, with an optional Advanced Mode. In default mode, you have options to make squares, rectangles, spheres, or 2D shapes with a third dimension added to it so it looks like what people call “2D” but is a 3D shape with polygons. What I mean by that is is adding an edge to a 2D shape to make it 3D, like this:
In Advanced Mode, it's a manual polygon editor. In Script Mode, you code stuff. For example:
When key W pressed:
repeat until W is not pressed:
go to next costume
go forward 4 steps
end loop
set costume to default.obj (or whatever format it'll use)
That script would be good for a 3D character in a 3D game.

maybe it could like, display a webpage ON the screen.

Never saw shutdown.exe in that folder but anyway thanks!

If the mod allows writing to files and running external programs, a project could potentially write malicious binary code to a file and run it. I don't mean like plain binary (1's and 0's) because that would be stored as ASCII text. Someone could write a program and open it in Notepad. Notepad reads files as ASCII so any program open in it will appear as gibberish, but that could be copied in to the mod and written to a file. Even if your mod won't allow the file extension to be changed to .exe, .scr or any executable file extension, the project could run a shell script to rename the file and run it. It's not likely that anyone here would do that but I am just warning you about harmful things people can do with those blocks.

I agree. I am deeply concerned about that regarding my mod.

Yeah, but you'd need an HTML parser, to combine Gecko with Smalltalk… It would be a lot of work, and you'd only have good control over it in Dream.

You don't need to port Gecko to Smalltalk… It would be easier to write your own simple HTML parser and blocks to create, delete and control browser morphs. It doesn't have to run Flash or Java or anything (that just makes it too complicated). It doesn't even have to support CSS or JS, but just text, images and sounds. Of course you could add CSS and JS later, but that might be difficult.
I did find this a while ago and tried to use it in Scratch, but it doesn't work in that version of the Squeak image.

I'd personally like some new effects, like blurring, changing to a specific color, and becoming monochromatic.

Follow.

SENSING:
ask and wait () secs Asks for something and stops when () secs is done. Good for a timer.

MOTION:
keyboard move with speed: () Move with AWSD or arrow keys with a speed of () pixels. Don't need to write down the code every time!

OTHER:
kill me Basicly acts as if the sprite isn't here. But doesn't actually delete the sprite, so you can use it again.
revive No revive me block, because once your dead you couldn't revive yourself! Returns sprite to program.
kill Same as kill me but kills a certain sprite of choice.
do for sprite : Broadcasting something like, “snake move left” or “snake move right” there will be no need for with this block.
blah
blah
blah

If I categorize every single block in it so far, this is what it would look like:

MOTION:
normal blocks
—————–
is on edge
draggable?
set draggable to
TF = true or false
goto center
keyboard move with () speed

CONTROL:
normal blocks
—————–
clone blocks
repeat every () secs
stop and press FLAG
press FLAG
last received broadcast
for block

LOOKS:
normal blocks
—————–
paint new costume
delete costume # ()
<visible?>

SENSING:
normal blocks
—————–
mouse clicked?
part = left or middle or right
time
time = day-#, month-#, year, day-name, month-name or full-time

ask for () secs


OPERATORS:
normal blocks
—————–
color


PEN:
normal blocks
—————–


VARIABLES:
normal blocks
——————
create (LG) variable (name)
LG = local or global

LISTS:
normal blocks
——————
hide list (list v)
show list (list v)
list as string seperated by letter(s)
create (LG) list (name)

CONSOLE: {yellow}
print to console ()
show console
hide console

WORLD: {black}
open webpage with URL: ()
get contents of URL: ()

write to file

delete directory
contents of file
line () of file

SYSTEM: {brown}
set turbo to
TF = true or false
<turbo mode>

<presentation mode>
set presentation to
TF = true or false

save program
delete program (opens “are you sure?” dialog)
open program (opens “save?” dialog and if answer = no, opens “are you sure?” dialog)
close YourMod

OTHER: {grey} Mostly blocks I couldn't categorize or don't know what means.
timis draggable
set sprite name ()
sprite name
kill me
kill
revive
do for sprite :
blah
blah
blah

MESH: {indigo}
