Snapblocks Discourse Plugin

For more information, please see: https://meta.discourse.org/t/snapblocks-discourse-plugin/310155

Snapblocks is a library that is able to convert text into Snap! block images. This Discourse plugin allows users to use snapblocks on a Discourse forum, mainly for the Snap! Forum.

Usage

You can create snapblocks in a post, by typing snapblocks code inside [snapblocks][/snapblocks] bbcode tags. For example:

[snapblocks]
move (10) steps
[/snapblocks]

You can alternatively use [scratchblocks][/scratchblocks] for compatibility purposes (snapblocks is a fork of scratchblocks, and there was an old Discourse plugin on the Snap! forum that allowed users to type scratchblocks inside [scratchblocks][/scratchblocks] tags).

You can also use [sb][/sb] to add snapblocks code inline.

Use the [sb]move (10) steps[/sb] block to move forward.

Options

There are a few settings available to change how snapblocks are rendered.

• Block Style
• Block Scale
• Zebra Coloring
• Block Wrap
• Show Spaces

Many options can also be used in snapblocks snippets.

[snapblocks blockStyle="snap-flat" wrap="true" wrapSize=100 zebra="true" showSpaces="false"]
if <[] = []> {
  forever {
    run ({} @addInput) with inputs [Hello world] @delInput @verticalEllipsis @addInput
  }
}
[/snapblocks]

You can also set the block style using the default parameter.

[snapblocks="snap-flat"]
move (10) steps
[/snapblocks]
