Second, if what you asks is the JS code or similar- it's not effective. The “JavaScript code” displayed at, fore example, Code.org, is actually better phrased as algorithm or instructions. Just check out the code- turnLeft(); is NOT a pre-built function. So what does this mean? This means that you have to define and code yourself,from zero, what the turnLeft() function actually does. So.. Sorry, but I don't support. Keep thinking ideas, though, your next idea might be awesome! ;D

For easy reading…
To convert Scratch blocks to JavaScript wouldn't work very well.

On a related note, you could always make your own library (think JQuery).

The Scratch blocks need to be coded with SOMETHING for them to do anything, don't they?

No support, sorry. Scratch is a site that teachers teach in school, and kids would easily get confused by that.

It would not be required to use. A lot of kids could be interested in learning Javascript. And making a project and then converting it to Javascript would teach them a lot about coding.

They are current executed in ActionScript once 3.0 comes out it will be executed in Javascript. at least as far as i know…

Total support. Some like sticking to blocks, while others prefer text code.

Agree.

wait what
i never wrote “agree”
my response to the first post was a large paragraph, not “agree”, you can see it up on this page…
…what?

Umm… it will just be confusing for younger viewers. (I am getting tired of these posts). No Support.

No support. How would this help?

… Post deleted.

Check out the “Increase the cloud variable limit” (or whatever the name is), because I wrote a big fet paragraph on there. And get a calculator for it too.

that's not related to what i was saying. earlier you were trying to quote my response, but you rewrote it to “agree”, which is not even close to what i said. why/how did this happen?

Wait what? I actually did not do that.

That's a shame. We do this with tweens/teens and it would be nice to show them how different their work looks as text.

What is the code for when something happens it must show all the sprites

I support this request.

So scratch blocks run the same as minecraft items

I'm not new to scratch I'm @book345

Evidently, this is rejected, and so we will not be adding it. Keep thinking of ways to improve Scratch

The Official List of Rejected Suggestions wrote:

2.2 Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or for teachers. One amazing thing about block-based programming is that syntax errors largely do not exist. Text-based programming would introduce syntax errors which younger users might not understand, and may distract students from learning the Scratch language.

This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch.

For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language which serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.
