ChatBlocks-Examples

A collection of ChatBlocks examples, demos and templates that can be used with @Instafluff's ChatBlocks

Using the examples

• download the .cbs file you want to try out
• navigate to https://www.instafluff.tv/ChatBlocks/ and sign in with your twitch account
• drag the .cbs file into the Blockly Editor window

Contributing your examples and functions

I would love for you to contribute to this library of examples. Just keep these ideas things in mind:

• All examples and functions should be put into a folder. This will allow you to provide variant .cbs files as well as a README.md to explain any usage details or block limitations.
• Your .cbs file should only contain the blocks needed for that specific example or feature. If you have multiple examples that rely on reusable functions, consider saving those out as separate .cbs dependencies to include in your example folder. The point being to make it easier to add multiple examples to your ChatBlocks window without causing collisions.
• The goal is to make your blocks as portable as possible. Be verbose in your variable and function names to avoid collisions. Instead of i something like, username_exampletitle_i.
• Examples should not overly rely on variables. Variables in ChatBlocks are global. If your example needs to rely on variables, consider a very unique naming schema (see previous point).
• Add comments to your outer blocks to give hints and notes about how to properly use the block. To do this, right click the block and choose Add Comment
• Consider opening your .cbs files in a code editor and formatting them as XML. This will make it easier for folks to peruse and read your block code. By default, saving your .cbs files from ChatBlocks will be a less-readable minified string of xml.
