we could merge OmniBlocks, AmpMod and LibreKitten into one massive mod

[ampelectrecuted]

yeah

[ampelectrecuted]

actually agree on that so im gonna updaet

[ampelectrecuted]

look again

Hmm yeah, it could keep being OmniBlocks because y'know, Omni

[ampelectrecuted]

btw void you should join the ampmod forums

Hmm... I would think the less fragmentation, the better. All of these mods would be better if their feature sets are one; there's a reason TurboWarp extensions have taken over. Also, none of these mods fair alone against the mod that noot noots.

With LibreKitten, I already ported the web server to OmniBlocks, and now Amp is considering adding server capabilities to his mod. He wasn't before, if I remember correctly.

Let's be honest here, LibreKitten will become virtually useless after this.

if this happens we are killing telewarp and replacing it with aw3, as telewarp is a rather strange codebase while aw3 is built on an existing framework that has existed since 2019

also it would take hours if not days or even weeks to merge omniblocks and another mod, and ESPECIALLY merging ampmod and librekitten. ampmod does a lot of stuff librekitten does and vice versa, but usually through different methods. e.g. AmpMod 0.3+ calls it Program Settings, Librekitten 0.10+ calls it Project Settings, and OmniBlocks still calls it Advanced Settings

[ampelectrecuted]

also omniblocks' direction is to become a full ide, while ampmod's direction is to expand scratch. i'm not sure how strange it would be to write python code in the ampmod interface

[ampelectrecuted]

i do agree it is the only way to compete with crathvazbq though

[ampelectrecuted]

this is why i prefer ide-shell and turning scratch-gui into a module over cramming everything into scratch-gui

@OmniBlocks/coders
How do all of you think we should go about this? Both AmpMod and LibreKitten have considerable similarities and differences which could complicate merging, as Amp pointed out.

I would like to add for LibreKitten, in addition to the stage size and FPS differences, it has some unobvious quirks. For example, the answer block is droppable in a boolean block, and yes and no in a boolean input get translated to true and false (but AFAIK this has been broken in the new compiler port).

@OmniBlocks/coders If we do this, should this monstrosity be our mascot?: /j

(If you don't get the body, that is the body from the humanoid version of the Librekitty.)
