Project
Simple (not really) project where a user learns a form of "language" to "program" bricks instead of eventing them with click and pick. The project would first - remove the wrench.

The wrench would be replaced by adding a tool called "BrickModder." The BrickModder tool is used to program bricks. When you are finished programming the brick, you simply press "Save" and the brick will be saved. Below I will explain my idea of the syntax of the language.

Syntax
A hello world program would look something like this:

self.activate(brick,player)
[
   var name, blid
   name = player.name
   blid = player.bl_id
   player.centerPrint("You are " > name < " BLID " > blid < "\n"-3)
]

This simple program would have the name of the player who activated the brick have a center print of "You are YourNameHere blid YourBLIDHere" for 3 seconds. Simple, eh? Since I really haven't had much work done on the structure of the language, I haven't gotten much done on the actual code of the language. I just changed a few things around. If a player can learn this, if he changed his mind set a bit, he could easily become a programming for add-ons.

Progress
Language Interpreter - 0%
General Input Methods - 10% - Wrote the onActivate command
Client/GUI - 0%
Item - 0%
Not much is done, though it will take a bit. I will be showcasing the client and beta here. So keep I'll keep you posted.

Post what you think about the idea. Ill be posting more ideas on the syntax below.

Why remove the wrench? It's not only used for events.

Isn't this a little over complicated? What makes this better than events?

Scout31:
Brackets. It's not programming without them. Also, you use of ; is inconsistent
