Hey! Great work! Are you planning to release the source code? I have a project in mind that would compile Scratch projects (with extension) to a .hex file that could be uploaded to Arduino.

Thanks. Not planning on releasing source soon as rebuilding for Mac, Linux next. If you have questions then feel free to ask, however I'm not sure how it would help as I assume a hex file is just arduino machine code? This project creates .net il code which then needs a .net jit compiler for whatever machine it has to run on and I doubt there's one for arduino.

Not really. What you posted has most of this work shuffled into a special function, which I would argue is cleaner code. If the whole engine were translated from AS, it would look somewhat the same but with stricter typing on numbers.

Yes, hex is machine code for Arduino. I guess it's not critical for me to copile the project, just parsing scipts to arduino language would do probably, as I can later compile it with external tools…

Have you extracted the nlog.dll from the zip file to the same folder as procd.exe? (Extract all the files from the zip file to the same directory)

Oh, ALL the files.

Well they're not there as padding

Click for a version of procd's compiler with an assistant to make it easier to use.


Whelp… if you're doing mac… and linux… I'd better learn to code in .bash . The above only works with windows.

Wow, that's really something! I've been following this forum topic for a year waiting for this.

However, I haven't been able to compile something that actually works… They all compile, but one thing or another just makes it unplayable. And I don't really have any way to troubleshoot.

Same here, I've compiled before but the end result always crashes after the loading screen.

If you can provide a link to the project which crashes then I can take a look.

Hmmm, I went back and tried compiling again, and it worked! The project in question was my Archery Engine. Not sure why it didn't work before…probably a problem on my end and not one with the compiler.

Please give us the source code to prove that you're not using wizardry.

Would this support Cloud Data? For example, if I had a multiplayer project, could users running the .exe actually play with other people?

If you are interested in having a Scratch 2.0 compiler that is open source, you can:

• convert your SB2 project to a Snap project by using Snapin8er2. Note: not all SB2 projects can be converted to Snap projects.
  
• use Snapp to convert your Snap Project to executable for the desired OS (Win, Mac, Linux)
  

Have Fun!!! … and let me know how this worked for you

No it would have to use the scratch servers to do that. Although the API is there now the update rate would make multiplayer impossible for anything outside scratch. You could do it using an extension but would have to write a suitable scratch extension. Cloud variables are supported but not to be stored on the scratch servers.


– Will get this topic closed as the beta test is over and compiler is released. See signature.
