ext2to3: Converting 2.0 extensions to 3.0

NitroCipher

Welcome to ext2to3! A (now pretty decent) attempt at writing a converter to make Scratch 2.0 extensions available in Scratch 3!

I just started this project, and I only have block definitions barely started

TODO:
Finish converting block definitions
Assign functions to block calls
Make solid website, rather than browser-based hosting
everything else

I would love some help with this, so feel free to check out the Github repo here

This looks promising! I made a pull request to remove the JQuery dependency, and I'll hopefully be contributing more substantial additions in the future.

This is going to require a ton of work, as not all extensions are formatted the same way, so I need to figure out a better way to parse the javascript to a more manipulable format

I wrote a converter that uses the ScratchExtensions.register(…) to get the data of the extension, and then output it as a String in the Scratch 3 Extensions format. There are still many issues with it (it doesn't add the function or convert the inputs to the new format), but it should work with any Scratch 2 Extension.

Here's the code, and Here is a GitHub Pages page so you can try it.

what is usercsript

disclaimer: sometimes my posts are pretty critical of the scratch team (especially my older ones), but i really do

scratch & scratch team. jvvg made a short essay thing about the scratch team, which is a pretty good read, if you want a different perspective for the scratch team's actions.

Thanks JGames101, I am now using the bulk of your code in ext2to3, and I have started mapping the arguments

Hello, why all links about this converter are deads ?

There is any way to convert scratchX extensions to scratch 3.0 extensions ?

If the answer is no, is there an explanation to the deletion of this tool ?

EDIT : I found my answer here https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/342112/?page=1#post-3453602, sorry for the inconvenience

If you are talking about Scratch X, it is certain that it would be discontinued as of Scratch 3.0's release.

I finally added block menus!
