I've tried to make a block in sound that does this, but when I run it, squeak entirely freezes. Do you know What's going on? sorry about this, Thanks. Hi Jens-
Another quick question:
you know the
^ self beep
command in squeak?
I’ve tried to make a block in sound that does this, but when I run it, squeak entirely freezes.
Do you know What’s going on?
sorry about this,
Thanks.

The reason that I didn't notice that is that I wasn't using the published code. However, I copied the code that that option runs, into a workspace, then 'did it now'. It worked great, Thanks! My new features are pretty elementary: 1. I added 'factorial' to the function block 2. I brought back the old image effects. 3. I added a 'enter/exit compatible mode' option to the shift+extras menu. 4. When not in compatible mode, it saves a *.sc, instead of *.sb 5. when not in compatible mode, two new reporter blocks appear: -hidden? -pen down? 6. I changed all the spellings of 'color' to the proper english 'colour'. (for compatibility, it can still read 'color' in the image effects) 7. When you press shift while entering presentation mode, it doesn't enter fullscreen. 8. I also added to shift+extras a enter/exit full screen option. This is usually only done for presentation mode, but now you get more space to edit! 9. pressing shift while changing pallette categories, or opening a project, makes the blocks darker. this increases contrast, aiding the visually impaired. 10. there is a 'enter/exit' blind mode shift+extras option. this makes the menus bigger. 11. I've brought back some of the working/useful obsolete blocks. 12. I'm usre there's more, which I've forgotten :) If you want to use any of my ideas for chirp- go ahead. Hi, Jens, thanks!

My new features are pretty elementary:
1. I added ‘factorial’ to the function block
2. I brought back the old image effects.
3. I added a ‘enter/exit compatible mode’ option to the shift+extras menu.
4. When not in compatible mode, it saves a *.sc, instead of *.sb
5. when not in compatible mode, two new reporter blocks appear:
-hidden?
-pen down?
6. I changed all the spellings of ‘color’ to the proper english ‘colour’. (for compatibility, it can still read ‘color’ in the image effects)

Hi abeair, The BYOB image is currently pretty much "locked down", preventing you from accessing the source code. I'm planning to release the BYOB source code after the next update or so (I'm in the process of adding some more features, like inter-sprite messages with parameters) Hi BigFrog,

It give us lots of help. I am from Taiwan. My English is so bad, I try to make myself clear, If it is possible that you can develop another function, that we can let our projects to SWF? Sorry to ask for this. it will be great if you can give me a mail. bigfrog@bigfrog.com.tw Hi Jens

I'm very curious about your work, which features did you add? Hi billyedward,

To preserve memory, scratch wraps long strings onto other hidden lines; the subscript. However, there is a limit (bound) to how long the subscript can be. hope this helps!
