Blockly Global Variables

Hi, I'm creating my own Blocks in Blockly by editing blockly_espruino.js. I can create global variables at the top of the file like
```
var ESPRUINO_COL = 190;
```
that are accessible in functions like
```
Blockly.Language.espruinoXXX = {...};
```
but these variables cannot be accessed in functions like
```
Blockly.JavaScript.espruinoXXX = function() {...};
```
How do I create global variables that I can then edit inside the JavaScript that defines what the block does?

Thanks,
Rehman

I'm afraid I'm not sure about this - you'd hope that functions would have access to the scope in which they were defined. Perhaps you could ask on Blockly's forum? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/blockly

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
