Compile block

[4cwefgtw9e587]

i'm not sure how this compile block works

[pumpkinhead]

It compiles Snap! code to JavaScript, but I have no idea how to use the args argument. But I'm pretty sure that block wasn't really meant to be used in projects.

er--how do you get that block?

[helicoptur]

Search it using the search function, or shift-click settings and check

[sathvikrias]

thanks

Things you have to shift-click to find aren't supported and aren't guaranteed to work forever.

I've never actually seen this block before, but it's pretty clear what it does if you try it:

Not so different from

So

But clearly Jens built this, not for users, but to help in debugging the compilation feature in the HOFs. (Grab a HOF, right-click, choose "compile.")

i found it on accident like this

Oh! That's a bug, it shouldn't show up in the search results. I'll change it for the upcoming release. Thank you!

[jens]

yeah, that's fine, though. Those blocks are "user facing", other than the "compile" block.

[4cwefgtw9e587]

yea, i've seen some bugs such as when i don't have codification support i can still search up the blocks and get the codification blocks

[jens]

oh yes, but that's not a bug. Those blocks should be searchable and discoverable, they are "user facing blocks" not internal ones used for development of Snap itself.
