Good news ewpatton, I uploaded the zither app to Blockly, got into the Designer no problem, and clicked Blocks and got into that speed of light.. ok speed of a click. No loading problems there at all. FYI
Thanks for following up. That's great to hear that it improves the performance on your project.
You're welcome, but thank you... I don't know what sorts of bugs there may be from Blockly use (won't do any development in Blockly of course) but just for good measure I also looked through my Blocks/code and didn't see any broken or disconnected blocks, FYI.
One other item I just noticed in Designer... it shows the cellphone/tablet device and the default Screen1... in several apps, I see that the bottom of the view (cellphone screen) is cut off a certain amount - roughly 1/5th of the view - by the cellphone screen rendering. But, I tried those apps in AI Companion, and they look fine there. So not sure if something may have changed in the Designer display of the device. I don't think this was an issue before (2014) but it's been some time.
Hello ewpatton,
Not too long ago I had tried Blockly with large blocks app, and it worked very well, no load on the disk... I then went back to using "code.appinventor.mit.edu" and it appears to be doing pretty well too.
Today I just noticed that "code." was updated two days ago:
Built: August 21 2024 Version: code50
And, what I have been noticing last couple days is the disk load (which usually lasts about 2 minutes then subsides and I can get into the Blocks screen) has re-emerged, and additionally, when I edit the blocks in Blocks screen, it continues to be problematic when editing blocks in the Blocks screen... load occurs and you have to wait (15 seconds or more) each time you click or unclick or move, etc. a block.
So it looks to me that the updated "code50" has re-introduced an issue.
FYI and please advise if possibly the solutions from Blockly may get backported into code. ? Thank you.
