Preview: Blocks

Blocks are continuous memories of floating point numbers.

Communication Mechanism

Blocks are the main communication mechanism between Sonolus and engine.

For example, Sonolus can pass screen aspect ratio information to engine by updating the 1st value of Runtime Environment block; engine can pass scroll information to Sonolus by updating the 0th value of Runtime Canvas block.

Blocks can be accessed using Get and Set functions.
