The Compiler


We (and by we, I mean @yri5 mostly and I just ask questions cos I'm dumb) are working on porting a brand new compiler to Unsandboxed, one that by all accounts should be faster(?) and easier to work with.

The new compiler is one that should also be coming to TurboWarp, but when that will happen is currently unclear. We're running with it early because Unsandboxed is an experiment.

This means any features I'm working on, such as statement inputs in custom blocks, are being held off until the new compiler is fully implemented. It's not worth adding stuff to the old compiler, just to port it to the new one later on.

Furthermore, the old compiler was made for a TurboWarp from years past, and just doesn't hold up to what we need it to do. It worked for Scratch, just not for Unsandboxed.

I don't know when the new compiler will be live, but when it is up and running it'll be mostly positives for us, and basically a win-win for all of you.

As this is mostly a vm/internals change, I will still be working on random smaller bits like GUI tweaks, addons, and a small custom block change that I want to see through.

Thank you for the wonderful support for this weird little experiment!

EXCUSE ME?

here's a screenshot from the insides of "Connected Windows" by MrLoop. Sadistic. This is the only way to do it.

Also I want this to be clear: work has been done to merge upstream commits with TW which is why I'm not going to add the new block just yet.

I haven't forgotten about Unsandboxed, my life is just busy and very miserable.

The Scratch Team has just recently updated their Terms of Service yesterday, letting you know they now have full permission to use your content to train AI models.

I'm sick of Scratch Team.

A build for a brand new extension for Unsandboxed is available for testing and feedback in the Discord server.

With all the talk about AI on Scratch, here's something I just finished for a separate thing I do. I'm too embarrassed to call it a job because I make a pittance from it.

All I can ask of you lot is to keep making a fuss. Don't shut up because people tell you "it's not as bad as you think": it is exactly as bad as you think.

Make one thing clear: AI does not belong on Scratch. No exceptions. Be civil, though.

The two JSON extensions are available for testing in the Unsandboxed Discord Server.

I'll be releasing more, such as Clones Plus 2, when I can. Hopefully these'll make Unsandboxed a lot more... viable.

I genuinely, unequivocally, don't give a shit.

He sent Minecraft down a bad path in so many different ways. Thank fuck I can finally move on from it with Hytale.
