Blocks
These blocks were implemented along with the existing Scratch blocks.
Motion Blocks

Control Blocks
when <> is true :: control hat
-
while <> { } @loopArrow :: control
stop all and press @greenFlag :: control cap
Looks Blocks

Sensing Blocks
(key pressed :: sensing)(color [#ab82ff] :: sensing)
Operators Blocks

Dictionary Blocks
Dictionaries are a data type which associate keys with values.
make dictionary [] :: list— Makes a dictionary with the given name.(item [] of dictionary [] :: list)— Reports the value associated with the given key in the dictionary named.set item [] of dictionary [] to [] :: list— Inserts the given value at the given key in the dictionary named.(get keys of dictionary [] :: list)— Reports the keys of the dictionary named separated by commas.delete item [] of dictionary [] :: listdelete dictionary [] :: list
System Blocks
 Note: | This is a new category. |
This category has also been called Files and Squeak before.

Cloud variables are stored on Mod Share.(get cloud var [] :: #54e60b)— Reports the value of the cloud variable named.

Other features
Insanity allows users to upload projects directly to Mod Share without having to use the website. In Insanity 1.0, it FTP uploads the file using an AutoIT script to an external site which is then transferred onto Mod Share. In Insanity 1.1, it uses the HTTPSocket library in Squeak to send the file using POST data.
Partial Presentation Mode
In Insanity Beta and later, there are two presentation mode buttons: one for window presentation mode and one for full screen presentation mode.
Insanity has a tool to look at projects uploaded on Mod Share. It can look at featured projects, projects by specific users, or through search queries.
Visual Representation of Booleans
When one clicks on a reporter whose value is true, a green check mark appears; when one clicks on a reporter whose value is false, a red cross appears.
