Hey, so when I went to take a look at the "the script" block jn super snap, I noticed an issue. On my android phone, I can't tap and hold to right click. I have a feeling it's because you didn't implement the tap and hold threshhold that was implemented in snap (ok, full disclosure, I wrote the script, and jens accepted my pr).
Alright, I opened an issue, with a video showing the issue. Here it is Cannot tap and hold to right-click on mobile · Issue #7 · Alessandrito123/Snavanced · GitHub
Hey, so I wanted to look at some of the properties of the "the script" block through developer mode, and I found that I actually can't, because whenever I switch to developer mode, then switch back to programmer mode, developer mode turns off. Is there some way to allow developer mode to be toggled in programmer mode, so we can actually inspect super-snap?
""
Ok, I was able to toggle developer mode through the console, but it would be cool if it were possible through the gui.
So I tried this, downloaded the .app, changed the permission of MacOS/* to executable, made Security let me run it, but it immediately crashed. Was that supposed to happen?
You're not allowed to distribute the Scratch Cat. I don't think you're even allowed to distribute Gobo, but we're allowed to distribute Alonzo, and so I guess our mods are also.
I found out that he distributed Scratch Cat in the Dragon project.
what do the jagged blocks mean?
so they're just decorative?
No, wrong answer. They're not usable as blocks, but they do carry meaning, in the long form input dialog, where they label the input types.
Oh now that I can run the program I see the point of the question. Yes, they're without purpose as blocks.
I am running Monterey (12.4) on Intel. I downloaded Super-Snap!.app from your Google Files pointer, unzipped it, and it wouldn't run at all until I changed the permissions of the actual executable inside it. Then it crashed. Did I download the wrong thing?
? Link? Tnx.
Yay! I can run it now.
How do I access those costumes? (Also, you need help screens, or at least help texts, for many new blocks that I can't figure out, such as that C/P one.)
I saw that, but how do I actually get one into Snap!? Open the folder in Finder and drag one in? I was expecting a Costumes menu item.
NOOOO!! why did you do this to them? :(
Oh, probably for legal reasons, I assume, but still NOOO
Scratch Cat and Gobo are Scratch Trademarks, and cannot be used without explicit permission from the Scratch Team:
According to Scratch FAQ:
There are a few exceptions: the Scratch Logo, Scratch Cat, Gobo, Pico, Nano, Giga, and Tera are Scratch trademarks, and can not be used without explicit permission from the Scratch Team.
quoted from May I use / remix Scratch support materials, sprites, images, sounds or sample projects I’ve found on the website? question.
I know.
Also, I just now realized that their names:
all represent byte sizes.
To waste your time...
Picobyte = 1k nanobytes
Nanobyte = 1 billionth of a byte
Gigabyte = 1 billion bytes
Terabyte = 1k gigabytes
Nice detail.
If that's the definition of a nanobyte, then wouldn't a nanobyte be useless? (You can't have
(* ( / 1 8 ) (^ 10 9) )
bits.) I always thought they were named for sizes of units in the metric system.
Sadly, the Scratch Team has reason about deleting these costumes.
Fortunately the rest of the costumes are not. Here is the descriptions of them:
Alonzo: The essential mascot of the entire Snap! software. He is so cute and friendly.
Sparrow: This is a little furry mascot from Dango,
a deleted Scratch mod that includes lambda blocks.
Streak: Is the mascot of the Scratch-1x mod from the same name.
This is the unique mascot that any pen can draw to take its appearance.
I've never heard of Dango and Streak. Are there any download links / websites for them?
The only thing I have is the images in your source code:
- Streak
- Sparrow
For Streak is: Billy Graydon's Online Repository of Impedimenta
And for Sparrow... (Dango), the link is dead:
(Sorry if I’m doing this wrong) But first class procedures was recently done! https://dango.shiki.online/ The same person is also working on script variables, and it also has list inputs, it seems like a good start and looks like it could become a great alternative (again sorry if this is a necropost)
The only resources remained of Dango are the costumes, so these are saved from being deleted.
Fortunately the rest of the costumes are not. Here is the descriptions of them:
Why didn't you include all the costumes? We have gazillions of them, mostly taken (legally!) from Scratch. And then there's Jahrd, Derec, Jamet, Sarron, Aleassa, and Tad (and soon Lirin, when I get around to installing them), which aren't from Scratch, but licensed to Snap! by the artist, Meghan Taylor. (If you use those, keep the paragraph about them from About>Credits.)
