Convert your scripts to [scratchblocks] on Scratch 2.0

jvvg

After a bunch of using my whiteboard to outline code, trying to figure out JSON code with no documentation whatsoever, learning obscure APIs using the network logs, figuring out a few new libraries in PHP, and taking exercises in recursion, I was able to make a [scratchblocks] converter for 2.0.

The converter for 1.4 by LS97 was a squeak plugin that you imported and then could right click on a script and have it converted to [scratchblocks]. I wrote my own for Scratch 2.0. It is much easier to install (you don't install anything, it's a webapp), but a bit harder to use.

Basically, here's what you do:
1. Add the scripts you want to convert to your backpack
2. Go to http://futuresight.org/staticprojs/scratchblocks/
3. Enter your username, and click “Load”
4. If you want to view them parsed, click “Parse!”

If anybody wants the source code for a PHP version, it's now on Github.

You mean http://blob8108.github.io/scratchblocks2/generator/ .

This must mean I need to get better at advertising…

You don't appear to have the charset tag. The dropdown arrows aren't rendering properly on your scratchblocks.

EDIT: Whoops, you do have the meta tag. Maybe you're serving http://futuresight.org/staticprojs/scratchblocks/resources/scratchblocks2.css with the wrong encoding?

I fixed it by changing the Content-type header. I'll push it to the website now.

Cool! Yeah, it's annoying that. I can't find a way of writing a Unicode symbol in a CSS file using ASCII.

Sadly, scratchblocks don't work on the forums yet.

Yeah, I think the API is a bit insecure myself…
However, I checked, and writing to backpacks is secured, so you can't over-write it.

…hence why my generator doesn't have that feature.

Yea, thank me for reporting that to the ST. Before, you could overwrite the backpack, other user's projects, and projects deleted from the trash bin. 0.o

This version combined all my scripts and made it look wacky. It also read some blocks as obsolete, probably because I used brackets in some of my

add [] to [ v]

blocks.
I also used % and ] which caused errors and the dropdown number inserts has issues.

@jvvg Do you insert blank lines between scripts?

define decode number (number)
set [temp output v] to []
set [counter v] to [-1]
repeat (number)
 change [counter v] by (x)
 set [counter2 v] to []
 repeat (round (1))
  set [x v] to (direction)
 end
 set [counter2 v] to (x)
 set [temp output v] to []
end

I wonder what jvvg is working on right now…
