It would be really cool to have scratch programs in .exe you could use them on any computer an maybe use scratch a bit more professionally.

Sorry, but sadly it is VERY difficult to make a compiler and the Scratch Team is too busy to deal with that. So yes it's be useful, but:

1. Not everyone uses Windows
2. Compilers are not easy as pie
3. Aren't there compilers on the Internet?

No support

just an idea, chill

This forum is for serious debate about Scratch suggestions. No chilling is necessary ;)

Support. This would be a great help in my school acrivities, as I can finalky be able to showcase my scratch projects.

support!

Totally agree.

Already possible. See the wiki.

Unless of course you put something in the refrigerator.

Have you checked out this Scratch Wiki page yet? It's a helpful guide that explains how to port projects to .exe (as well as other formats).

Still
<3% of those are Linux/Unix-like OS users. They can't open .exe files


No support per MathlyCat

By that logic, Scratch 2.0 Offline should be removed because it is not available for Linux Users.
I support along with .app, .jar, .WhateverLinuxUses .swf

Scratch 2.0 is available for linux as a .run package

But no .deb package ;-/

That only works for “.sb”, which is the Scratch 1.4 project file format. There is a converter for “.sb2” to “.sb”. But the problem is that not all of the Scratch 2.0 features are in Scratch 1.4. Therefore making it impossible to port Scratch 2.0 projects that use the new features to “.exe”. At least not by using that method.
