It does sound like this is very similar to tosh, just with slightly different syntax for parameters. It would be possible to make tosh work with scratchblocks syntax, but that would be up to blob8108, not the ST.

Hi! Please read the entire OP before jumping into conclusions. Thanks!

Where in the OP does it say this is for the forums?

It does mention about forums in the beginning, as well as on the title saying “scratchblocks”, but I do agree that Banana should edit the OP and make it more clear that it's for the forums.

I feel like you're misunderstanding. This is clearly not a suggestion for the forums; they're just stating that you should have the option to be able to program using Scratch blocks like you do in the forums (so, text) with everything the same except without the use of “Scratchblocks” tags.

banana439monkey, can you verify this? Everything you're saying points towards it being in the editor and not the forums.

I don't like the way variables and list blocks are in this suggestion because the list blocks are so uncommen.
They could be written the same way as in scratchblocks i.e. (list::list)

Also how would the define slot types be shown?

Otherwise, support

Challenge, maybe?

Anyway, I'll support on behalf of the older or more advanced users who want/need it. I wouldn't use it but others would.

Typing is faster than dragging. This is why most (more advanced) languages are text-based and not block-based.

Not for slow typers.

Interestingly enough, there was a time when you could copy scratchblocks to your backpack, effectively being a (more basic) version of your suggestion.. the ST removed it quite shortly after releasing it, though.

I'm not totally sure why, but I think it had something to do with hacked blocks becoming significantly easier to be made. Don't quote me on that, though..

I think it was because people kept plagiarizing without permission or credit. Anyway, how is this relevant?

<key (key) pressed?>

<key (key) pressed?>

when hearing about this
say [yes i wanna grab scripts, puddem in me BAKPAK, and put dem here.] for (2) secs

Oh, yes, I would love this; I would be able to just type in:

<key (key) pressed?>

…And here comes the most useful block ever.

<key (key) pressed?>

when [key v] key pressed
wonder how this is even possible
define wonder how this is even possible
say [w h a t] for (2) secs
if <key (key) pressed?> then
explode
end
define explode
switch costume to [explosion v]
wait (1) secs
