Scratchblocks Questions

How to make arrows in Scratchblocks? by @WindOctahedron
To create a left arrow, you can use @turnLeft. To create a right arrow, you can use @turnRight. Here is an example:
example block with left arrow @turnLeft::motion
example block with right arrow @turnRight::motion
To create the loop arrow (seen in some C-blocks), you can also use @loopArrow, however do note it always shows at the bottom right of the block. Here is an example:
example C-block with loop arrow {

} @loopArrow :: control
example normal block with loop arrow @loopArrow :: control

you can see my conversation with scratchinghead on implementing this new directory here.

Closing due to insistent spam, but if you genuinely want to contribute to this directory you can find another way to contact me.
This is still the current directory, and will continue to be until I eventually lose motivation for it.
