Custom reporter and boolean blocks

Is it possible to add the ability to let people make their own Operator and Boolean blocks like in PenguinMod?

Not without modifying the VM it's not. Compatibility-breaking features tend to be reserved for extensions, and this would break that rule, but that might change.

In my opinion, custom reporters done like in PM are not really an extension thing to do, as they heavily modify existing Scratch components and a bit of UI.

Could be an addon maybe…

That's what I'm saying: extensions can't do this, you would have to modify base TurboWarp with this. Doing that would break the philosophy that base TurboWarp is 100% cross-compatible with Scratch.

Addons don't modify the VM.

So it wouldn't be an addon, but just something in Turbowarp that you can't remove?

That’s the idea…

[Drago-Cuven]

sooo. never happening?

[Drago-Cuven]

maybe one day in the far future there could be a turbowarp deluxe. where fans go all out to make turbowarp as powerful as a real game engine like unity or maybe even unreal engine.

Maybe you should just report this in the Turbowarp Desktop github page

I think a better solution would be an inline blocks extension :P

This would not have to change anything within the VM (by this I mean it wouldn't change anything on the site that would make vanilla TurboWarp not vanilla), and lines up closer with TurboWarp's unspoken rules (●'◡'●)

That kinda defeats the whole purpose of what custom Operator and Boolean blocks would solve: shorting code and making the coding process much easier.

P.S The code above could be made like this:

Btw what are the “unspoken rules”?

This is where custom blocks come in:
