Sound
Sound blocks are implemented using a different meathod, with one
flop.playSound(pan,pitch,volume,"/path/to/sound/file");
command. pan is a range from -100 (left) to 100 (right). Both pitch and volume are a range from 0 to 100.
Control
Many contol blocks are acctually built into Javascript| Scratch | Flop |
|---|---|
wait(1)seconds |
await flop.waitSeconds(1); |
repeat(10)
...
|
See Javascript for loops |
forever
...
|
See Javascript while(true) loops |
if <> then
end
if<>then
else |
See Javascript if conditions |
wait until <condition> |
flop.waiUntil(()=>condition) |
repeat until <> |
See Javascript while(!) loops |
stop [all v] |
See javascript return statements |
when i start as a clone |
Coming soon! |
create clone of (myself v) |
Coming soon! |
delete this clone |

Sensing

|---|---|
<touching (mouse-pointer v)?> |
await sprite.touching("mouse") |
<touching color[#0000ff]?> |

<color [#0000ff] is touching [#0000ff]?> |

Operaters, Variables, and My Blocks
All of the scratch blocks in these categories are built into Javascript, execpt one:(pick random (1) to (10)) Which is implemented with flop.operaters.pickRandom(1,10)
