Whiskers: Scratch 2.0 for Incompatible Devices
NoMod is back!Additionally, you (-Radical-) aren't NoMod's ears. He can see the thread himself.I believe (once again) that NoMod has a name. Well I could ask the main dev but that can probably happenm
I also don't think you can predict what NoMod will reply. If you don't have a definite answer, please don't post what is essentially “I don't know”
What you're doing is acting as if you are the spokesperson for Whiskers. You aren't, unless NoMod has actually said you are (which I highly doubt).
But… Im NoMod…No, I haven't said that he's the spokesperson for Whiskers. @-Radical-, can you please leave the commenting to me?Additionally, you (-Radical-) aren't NoMod's ears.

Make a Wihskers wiki with users registered on forums and many articles created. When someone creates a new account on the forums, a new user appears on the User list. Also make a [block] template.

I never said I was the spokesperson, infact, saying “I'll ask the main dev” is kinda implying that I am NOT.
But I could see how you could think that.

See, @-Radical-, by saying that you'll ask the I never said I was the spokesperson, infact, saying “I'll ask the main dev” is kinda implying that I am NOT. main dev, it makes it seem like you are someone who is sitting with me on a computer system programming, which you are not. I am glad that you enjoy helping with the Whiskers projects, but please allow me to answer questions relating to feature requests/ bug reports.
But I could see how you could think that.

Does it really seem that way? It doesn't to me. Well, next time I'll just not reply & wait for you. Sound good?

Is there any chance we'll ever get a functional “Download to .sb2” button?

I thought it already saved as .sb2s? Is there any chance we'll ever get a functional “Download to .sb2” button?
I could be wrong though, I haven't tested this in ages

Sorry for making your guys wait so long for the next update, but I am making some changes to whiskers that make it run many times faster, and make it much closer to scratch 2.0's code. I've also been getting used to the scratch 2.0 code by helping out with @GRA0007's mod Blue, and found out that whiskers needs a lot of optimizations.

Try Flashy Pie. “Flashy” is a bit ironic, since this is all about moving I think the name for this project will be SCARTCH. If someone can give me a better name, please do so. You can see the logo in the youtube video in the OP.away from Flash, while “Pie” is a little whimsical, since this is (i assume) going to be optimized for Raspberry Pi.

The title says “Whiskers” though?

Can you upload the swf online ?

Yup. If you're looking for an online version, though, there is one here: online.whiskers.gwiddle.co.ukHe can't. It's not a SWF file, it uses the old engine Scratch 1.4 used. Can you upload the swf online ?

Whiskers: Scratch 2.0 for Incompatible Devices
Sorry for the late reply, but I'm almost ready to roll out a new update, but I need to compile a dynamic library for mac, windows, and linux. Then I need to build an installer, but one that does not require admin/root permissions (so it will install to appdata on windows, the user applications folder on mac, and maybe to a subfolder on /usr/share on linux?). Once that is done I can put out a new version, but I am having trouble compiling a dynamic library even with the TestPlugin class in squeak. Can someone help me out with this? Any updates? Just wondering.

Alright, I'm getting the dll to compile now, so it should only take about a month for me to finish this release! I know a month sounds like a long time, but it will all be worth it. To tell you what this next version will include (yes, I'm compiling a dynamic library for mac, linux, squeakJS, and windows, and nothing else), see this screenshot:
If you can't see the screenshot, or just want to read about it, I'm including svg reading in the next release of Whiskers (provided you have the dynamic library for your OS). I'm also including proper wav file reading that uses a primitive (and the default squeak one as a fallback), and lots of speed, which will make all versions much faster. I'm also seeing if I can make the interpreter (the whiskers one not the squeak one) run on primitives, but I might not because that would make it hard to make modifications of whiskers. I'll have to see what is possible. Lastly, I'm going to be adding some miscellaneous primitives to the dll that will add major speedups. These include quicker pen drawing (by drawing to the pen buffer using c), the possible addition of a bevel function and a blur function written in c to draw blocks correctly, and the possible addition of a balloon drawing library (from squeak before it was removed by MIT) for antialiased drawing (which, if implemented, will be used to display an imported svg (which, due to the lack of an svg editor, will just be a bitmap scaled up 2x for quality).
Any other suggestions to add to the primitives?

Awesome! Will you be distributing the binaries with Whiskers? And that seems like a lot to implement. Wouldn't it make sense to work on one or two changes, then release and have people test those? Then bugs are discovered earlier. Alright, I'm getting the dll to compile now, so it should only take about a month for me to finish this release!
Any other suggestions to add to the primitives?
