However, I look for a "Connect to IP ()" block, so I can compile to exe, then people wouldn't hack my game. Just see if that's a good idea. Hello, I think BYOB is a great program.

If there is anything I can help you with regarding nestable sprites please do not hesitate to ask. You can also reach me at my first name at moenig dot org. Hi Andres,

I´m a musician from Argentina I teach computer science applied to musical education (o someting like that... my english is very poor) in a music conservatory in Buenos Aires. I start using Scratch this year , and yesterday I discovered BYOB. Good Job!!! I have some trouble cheking out the nestable sprites thing. When I drop one icon sprite over the other they switch places... help me please!! ;) BTW I used some of your musical examples in my class . Thank you for that to. excuse my english again.

I just fixed another round of bugs in BYOB and pushed the release number to BYOB 2.0.2. Be sure to empty your browser's cache before you download the zip file again, and to check if your downloaded version shows this number. The following bugs have been fixed: (1) dragging a sprite in quarter-stage mode made it "pop" to full size (2) showing the value of custom reporter blocks defined for the stage by double clicking it raised an error notification. Thank you, Sophie, for cathing this bug! (3) numbers in a block specs raised an error. Thank you, Stefano, for reporting this bug! These were all rather nasty bugs, so I'd definitely recommend updating BYOB to the current version. update: bug fixes

I just fixed a couple of minor bugs relating to the BYOB error detection mechanism (the red outline around erroneous blocks, e.g. divisions by zero) and pushed the release no. to BYOB 2.0.1. Be sure to empty your browser's cache before you download the zip file again, and to check if your downloaded version show this no. Thank you, Thilo, for notifying me about the bug in mention! minor bug fixes.

I agree with you that data persistence is an important concept to teach at school. I am, however, currently not planning to add any blocks to BYOB which aren't in standard Scratch (except, of course, custom blocks), because I am actually kept quite busy supporting BYOB as it is with all the other experimental features (esp. nestable sprites). Once the Source Code of Scratch 1.4 is officially released I will also post the BYOB source, and will perhaps get some help from the community. Thank you for your feedback and for giving BYOB a try!

I am a high school computer science teacher that uses Scratch (among other things) to teach computer science. My question/request is: Are you going to add the save and load block to the lists in this BOYB version? Or can you modify your version 1.2 mod to the 1.4 version of scratch? I'd really like to teach my kids file input and output using such a 'safe' environment. Thank you for you time! Hey Jens.
