Tetris entirely inside of the snap editor

link

I'm wondering if it would be possible for you to add mobile support, like have some specific blocks that when clicked, they tell the game what button you pressed. This could be achieved through variables.

I'm impressed! That's amazing. Now do Minecraft. :~D

Brian, you are right. Some Minecraft users made Minecraft inside of the same game. :~)
Anyone can make it with redstone patterns and lamps, or with command blocks to play it on chests.

Let me be clear, I don't know how you did this, but using the block editor this way is really awesome. I had fun playing Tetris this way. Good job.

wonderful, thank you!

So I needed to give it a try myself! Here's Conway's Game of Life.

Life

Nice. I love getting 13 green blocks in a row, getting a cyan block, then getting 7 more.

Wow, that's an especially elegant use of hyperblocks!

This is incredible! I've never thought of making a game or even an animation by just changing a block's label. Great job!

oh it totally is. if you look in the stage scripts area, you could drag those blocks to the sprites are with the display and delete the ones in the stage and then just click those. you could also just put them into custom blocks instead of under hats if you wanted just single blocks for each control

haha i think i need to stop somewhere as to not be driven to insanity

anyone wanna start a collab on this?

ah, yes, that reminds me of mattbatwings (who i'm pretty sure made Minecraft in Minecraft (a super basic recreation but a recreation nonetheless))

Another interesting feature IMO is that @jens showed one can demonstrate a program within the forum. I made both a “script pic” and a “scripts pic” of his code in order to see which one does the trick:

Scripts pic

… OK, so much for my attempt :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

@jens: how did you make your code run within the forum?

I think he just created a screen recording, or got a script pic every time the block updated, and then put the images together to make a gif.

I'm pretty sure it was just a screen recording, because the background is not transparent, it's just highly compressed so detail went away (that's why I prefer animated pngs).

This could actually make it possible to run Super Mario Bros. (or in that matter, any other game) in a single block!

OK, apparently I was over-enthousiastic … even so, I wonder how to make a gif or other moving image of a Snap! program (code or display area) that may be included in a forum post. Could anyone write a short tutorial?

If you have a screen recorder, you can record your screen, then use some online video to gif converter, then upload it to a snap forum post. Although, I personally like to use animated pngs, since they're higher quality.

Here's an online tool that can convert a video to an animated png.

(the website also has tools to convert a video to gif if you would like to use a gif instead)

Thanks!
