I did that but it also requires this topic and the snap devs don’t like cross site posts that relate to eachother

I’ll give it a shot tho

Yeah it doesn’t, the snap fourms support almost none of the bb code used nor do they support rings in the block plugin (really weird)

Okay here’s the ported topic

https://forum.snap.berkeley.edu/t/lets-chance-in-snap/14833

All discussion of the snap version should be on my profile if you don’t have an account or on the snap form, the post here won’t be deleted for consistency and that it looks and flows much better on here

Semi-support. While it would be extremely convenient, it is also easily workaroundable.

Watch the project and the video, then you’ll see it’s not easy to workaround

So apparently “dice” is the plural form of “die” but people still use “dice” to refer to both the singular and plual even though it’s not

So what one would it use?

Dice, because die=killing=inaproparitepiate?!!:!!

“Dice” should be fine.

Support! This would make random things with chance easier to make!

saw a lot of people saying that this would be easily workaroundable, so i tried to create a fair die rolling engine to see how easy it was
it actually works pretty well when you get over the fact that the code's awful

You're right. I can hardly call this “Simply Workaroundable”…

I feel like I'm missing the point here… can't you just (pick random (1) to (6))?

Yes, but that doesn't offer weighted probabilities.

True… but this one does and it's still way shorter.

It requires cognitive effort to come up with, but that's just the nature of computational thinking.

Doesn't the “Let's Chance” mod add a new variable type (i.e. dice variables)? If that's the case, then it's probably gonna have to wait anyway. The extensions API doesn't support custom variable types yet, so they probably had to fork Scratch itself to make it work, and that's definitely not sustainable for future extensions like this.

I agree, this would be cool to see in Scratch! And weighted probabilities are hard to make, the only way I've done it is by just making a list and adding some things multiple times, but it's annoying to do.

Yeah, this would be great for scratch! it would make this more aces sable to the kids 8+ this site is geared to!

I feel old.

Maybe it got lost when they transfered stuff from llk to scratchfoundation on github?

When did they do that again? I forgot.

Maybe a couple months ago? I probably complained about the longer name on codubee's profile, so you could look there. llk was a great name
