Eng:Block Plugin (1.4)

The Block Plugin is a plugin for the Scratch Forums and Scratch Wiki, made by JSO, that allows script images to be constructed through text that is parsed and rendered. It was implemented on the wiki on New Year's Day 2012 and on the Scratch Forums in late January 2012. It was designed to replace using images and the archaic forum blocks. Scratchers could test out the blocks on [ this] forum thread or on the Wiki's Sandbox.

This plugin is no longer in use, having been replaced by a new version for Scratch 2.0.

Example: when gf clicked repeat until <(timer) > [10]> go to [mouse-pointer v] end think [Scripts in your posts!] for (3) secs
