Scratch Mod Creator Tool

Scratch 2.0's release has officially made modding impossible (without making it a 1.4 mod) and it costs money to develop in the Flash language (of which Scratch 2.0 is built on top of). But a lot of people really want to make mods for 2.0! So how can we fix this? Read the title.

Basically, the modmaker would allow you to:
  • Code in new blocks with the coding from the original Scratch (or with a new code language).
  • Modify the UI of Scratch for the mod.
  • Allow you to fully compile the mod into a usable editor.

Since I don't know the internals of Scratch, I don't know how well this would work. But I do know that if it was made it would benefit all Scratch Mod creators. Please take this idea into consideration!

About sharing Derivative Works - I don't expect Scratch to write in a way to share them online on the Scratch website, but it would be useful if the modmaker could make it so that it could compile a file format for it and a Player application that could be used to download and run projects. And cloud data… Well that might be impossible (xD).

+1 support,

but sometimes it's free, and other time's it isn't.

If you use not so good software, it's usually free , it you use great software with many tools, it costs a lot of money.

Actually, it hasn't completely disallowed you from modding it. Bobbybee told me that he made a mod.

+5 Support! That is a great idea! And a mod maker tool that is easy to use would be even better!

Well, if you can create a mod for 2.0, you can create one for 1.4. After all 2.0 was mainly a re-write of 1.4, which was based off the Squeak engine, so I think it would be easier to go with 1.4.

I look forward to a “Scratch 2.0 Mod”.

Nice news: GP has been released as a public beta.
What is GP??? GP is a free, general-purpose blocks programming language (similar to MIT's Scratch) that is powerful yet easy to learn. It runs on most platforms, including laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and web browsers.

Try out the new beta version of GP now!

It only costs money if you use an IDE and/or compiler which costs money. Apache Flex (the official flash compiler, I think) is free, but Adobe's Flash Builder IDE costs money.

Please don't necropost.

Generation 2: the first time you see this copy and paste it on top of your sig in the scratch forums and increase generation by 1. Social experiment.

Just recently they made it so you can mod 2.0. Or you can make an extension. And if you don't want to buy software just type out your code in notepad.
