GP Beta Test Forum

Just did the last session with this group Right-click in presentation mode didn't work as the background class prevents the stage background being clicked (The display was in 4:3 mode as it was connected to an old projector so whole screen taken up with the background) So I'll remember to add in a "...

Some of my Coding Clubbers are using Scratch to design backgrounds and then exporting them as gifs

I've written this extension so we can load them into current GP costume

Please try it out on any gifs you have lying around to see if it works for you

to list [(something that returns 1)] == (list 1)

to list [(something that returns 'AB')] == (list AB)

Its much better/easier to use script variables than shared or instance variables as they can be created "on the fly" However, monitoring their values requires work (print to console - use say block, use own created shared dictionary, insert halts and step thru etc etc) I think we could do with somet...
