GP Beta Test Forum

Having just posted that - I thought I'd try backspace key - and that was detected as the delete key :)

I imagine this is a Mac/Windows difference?

I just noticed that the delete key is in the list of acceptable key press detections but when I tried to use it, it doesn't seem to be detected

This is on Win10

such as canvas or background etc REASON The "Stage" is a well-known construct in Scratch it is the background sprite and can hold scripts (albeit with reduced types of blocks) - the colour can be changed - it can be loaded with an image GP's "stage" is not a sprite and cannot hold scripts or have it...

Is there no big math in GP?

There is a little bit of support (addition of big numbers)

I had a go at trying to add multiplication in a earlier beta but it wasn't at all optimised for speed so would be too slow

came a new c-block in it called do in parallel

???

I can't see one

What does it do?

but you can't say to GP it should whait with the refresh until the custom block is finished.

Not looked at code but couldn't you just add a wait block inside the custom block or after calling it from a main script?

My view on this.

The GP project is still underdevelopment - it is not a finished product by any means so I would not publish an amended version at this time.

I've thought about this but I'm not sure GP is quite ready for an influx of young scratchers quite yet

Since using V0.79 - I've not experienced any loss of focus or missing information in panes using Win10 so I think this issue is now fixed :)

Just putting this here for anyone wanting to use the new filestream blocks to read large files

There is no end-of-file boolean available but if the byte read has a nil value then we can assume that we've read the whole file
