Can you guys at snap add these blocks to snap! 1. imaginary numbers 2. A thing for interacting with the morphic API but in block form(bh or others would probably say no because you could just interact with it yourself) but I feel that you could do a lot of things with it 3. Some blocks for helping with stuff possibly libraries for collision and also creating our own extensions using js

Can't we just make a category and call it an extension? If your category has a lot of blocks then you can make a sprite and put all the blocks in them. Then when somebody exports your sprite, the blocks go with it.

Huh I didn’t think of that? Okay!

Check out Snap's native BigNums library.
Check out the JavaScript Function block.
This is stuff you can very much check the forum for.

Where is bignums though

me_the_super · December 5, 2023, 6:17pm

I'm sure it's there somewhere. Keep looking! I've seen it there before, so it can't be gone.

I found it! Thanks for your help and everybodies else

BigNums is in the libraries menu. The library is called "Bignums, rationals, complex #s."

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you found it.

# Snap! Extensions

> Last updated October 19, 2022

Snap! Extensions take the idea of a library, and expand it by allowing you to add your own JavaScript code.
Much of the work happens through two (hidden) primitive blocks.

## Enable Extensions Blocks
Go to the Settings Menu (the cog) and turn on "Extension Blocks".
You now have two new blocks in the _Other_ category title called `primitive`.

The first argument is a dropdown menu which contains list of allowed JavaScript calls, showing the function signature.
The second argument is a variadic input to pass data to the selected JavaScript function.
Both the reporter and command block have access to the same set of functions, you can use whichever is necessary.

It is expected that you'll use the `primitive` block directly in a library, but you'll want to wrap it inside a custom block.

## Adding New Primitive Functions

The built-in set of primitives will get you a lot of functionality, but you'll likely want to do something more.

Oh thanks

Thank you I just followed through it!

If it's off topic then can't we just start a new topic? If you already made a topic then please link it, I'd like to try that when I can.

Brian helped make (or made, I'm not sure which) the getters/setters lib. I don't think he'd be mad with a morphic lib. Also, I think SciSnap! has a morphic part.
