How do I add new blocks to the Snap code?

Is this helpful?

He did not make variables and lists scratch jr ish

Brian is right, though. Basic turtle operations such as forward and setHeading are defined in morphic.js and refined in objects.js.

its not done

ok

Seeing this conversation made me revive a long-dead idea: Making bots on the Snap! Forums.

I asked the moderators if I could make bots on the Forum, kind of like @system (I mean, @system isn't really a bot, but it damn well seems like it).

It's also kind of like the other bots like Clyde or Dyno on Discord.

Anyways, jens made a post like 1/2 a year to 1 1/2 years ago about accessing the Snap! Cloud and how accessing the Snap! Cloud using JS would lead to a permanent ban even for your future accounts. But is making a bot which accesses the Snap! Forum's API considered hacking the Snap! Cloud and would lead me to a ban.

More info: Can you make a bot in Snap?

Also I'm back for the third time.

Thank you for asking first.

No, the forum is not part of the cloud and is technically not included in Jens's ban. But yes, hacking the forum is also ban-worthy.

The bottom line here is that we are all very busy doing useful (to y'all!) work, and we do not take kindly to one of y'all deliberately taking up our time with non-useful work chasing you down.

So does this mean that if I create a bot it will just be more moderation work for you and the other moderators?

Also I don't understand JS lol

That was this year

Also how would this remind you of that?

Yes, exactly.

Lol so a moderation bot would lead to more moderation work

Dang...sigh then I guess I can code it with C++?

Nah, I'm learning C++ right now and it is a PAIN. I'm not even learning the REAL C++, I'm learning a modified version for Linkbots and VEX Robots called CH, made by UC Davis.

Idk, I was making discord bots in replit until the school finally patched the glitch to unblock everything today ;-;

I'm sorry. Is this voluntary?

Not really.

Oh yeah, I said I'm learning C++ right now because, well, if I use C++ code for a potential bot on, say, Discord, no one would be able to hack into it (unless you know C++) and just make it say things like, I don't know, racial slurs?

GOSH I HOPE WE DON'T GET INTO THAT AGAIN.

You can't hack into it without either having the bot token or hacking the into the discord cloud system to get the token, either which requires the token

Yeah I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand, your teachers are paid to deal with you ruffians, and arguably teaching you not to make trouble is part of teaching you and therefore counts as useful work.

On the other hand, when I was a high school teacher, the first time a kid came to me wanting to know how to turn off echoing of keyboard characters, I thought writing a login simulator would be a great project for him. Then eventually we got to where everyone was doing that -- no, not really everyone, but four people the same day -- and it just drove me crazy. It made me not like the kids any more, not just those four kids, but the whole computer center crowd. A year later I wasn't a teacher any more but went back to grad school instead.

Oh, lol.

I only did it at home, though, and it was mostly used for replit and access to other programming sites, and ig some io games, but only at home lol
