i think the scratch team should make a project converter where it converts scratch projects to C,C++,python, and other programming languages.
it would also convert python,C++ .ect to scratch projects.kind of like a translator!

say [you should help make it work by commenting and projects!] for (2) secs

This would be nice, but wouldn't be possible for the reason that Scratch is not at all like pretty much any other language. For example, there really isn't any “costumes” that I know of in any other language. The only way this could work is by compiling it to .exe, which has already been suggested.

And there is probably no feasible way to translate C and C++ into Scratch because the interpreter would have to know what things to make into a sprite, it would have to know what their x and y variables were, it would have to be able to deal with all the conversions that happen, or the methods and other things that don't exist in Scratch.

For example, in C++, you can make a method which returns a value, and that is definitely not possible in Scratch (as of yet).

thats true.but if you have ever heard of raspberry pi,i want to convert a project to python and run it on pi. but i dont know how it will work.but hopefully the scratch team will think about it!

You could have a Scratch interpreter in another language, like Python.

But as AonymousGuy points out, it's pretty hard to compile the code to a different programming language – but the reason is more about things like how all the scripts run at once. And it's even harder to keep it looking human-readable at the end.

i just want to make a program on scratch but run it on command terminal via raspberry pi

Maybe, just maybe…
You could learn c++ and convert it by reprogramming it in c++.
I feel this is somewhat worthless; maybe try scratch.exe to make it look more professional.
Plus how diverse scratch is than other toolkits,
No support. Sorry.

i just want to convert scratch to python for a pinball machine scoreing system

wait (however long it takes to make the scratch/python converter) secs

i will _waffle_ _waffle_ _waffle_

We have our hands full. But of course you can make your own project converter! Ask around in the advanced topics for help with the Scratch 2.0 file format.

I have a RPI with scratch, but i would rather have HTML or Python or possibly C++.

There are several converters you could use to make it into an .exe, however they aren't made by the ST, so I can't recommend any.

the

that
Scratch

For

there
really
isn't
any

The

And
there
is

to

because
the

you
