Scratch to Javascript converter

Lethiathan7769

Phosphorus no longer works with newer projects since the app was designed for sb2 files and not sb3.
I tried.

Hi! Please discuss Sulfurous and it's features at it's official topic and not here. Thanks!

Well, there is this thing called Blockly, it turns blocks into Javascript. Just search it up and click the first result.

One of the rejected suggestions is text-based coding, but I understand that's not what you're going for here. This does mean the ST is staying away from more complex programming languages so I think this would not be a good idea. Plus, JavaScript has dozens more features than Scratch and a conversion would mean tons of confusion.

Automatically forming a JavaScript document that the client can see would already be hard enough for the ST if you think about it.

Bumping my opinion on this topic.

I have been working on a Scratch to JavaScript studio and the project “This is Javascript.” features a very advanced converter.

Here:

say (x)

alert(x);

ask (x) and wait

prompt(x);

set [var v] to (x)

var = x

change [var v] by (x)

var += x

repeat (x)
...
end

for (i=1;i<=x;i++) {
…
}

if <a> then
…
end

if (a) {
…
}

if <a> then
…
else
…. :: grey
end

if (a) {
…
} else {
….
}

(a) + (b)

a+b

(a) - (b)

a-b

(a) * (b)

a*b

(a) / (b)

a/b

[sqrt v] of (x)

Math.sqrt(x);

(a) = (b)

a==b

(a) > (b)

a>b

(a) < (b)

a<b

<a> and <b>

a&&b
a*b

<a> or <b>

a||b

not<a>

!a;

join(a)(b)

'' + a + b

length of (x)

x.length;

letter (x) of (text)

text(x) // replace the round brackets with square brackets

define function1 (argument)
...

function function1(argument) {
…
}
Anyways, no support, since JavaScript would be confusing to young children.

Phosphorus is technically a Scratch to javascript converter

kind of but that is more JQuery

It would be potentially difficult to provide simple, easy to read source code because of the differences between how Scratch and Javascript behave. As just one example, Scratch is naturally multithreaded (meaning multiple scripts can run at the same time), for example, while most languages, such as Javascript, aren't. A forever loop in Scratch allows you to run looped animations and apply gravity to sprites - a forever loop in Javascript freezes the browser.

Support! I was thinking of suggesting a “view code” option (Like on Code.Org) with several programming languages to choose from, such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc.

Yeah I agree with the view code button because then we could make simply coded scratch games into complex internet games that could be used to make chrome extensions and other things like that.

PullJosh made a working Scratch to JS converter: https://scratch-js.now.sh/

You can't convert a costume into Javascript, I believe.

Would this be like a “download to computer as .js” button?

Maybe upon shift clicking the menu

Imma bump this comment. If the ST already rejected a Scratch-to-JavaScript converter, why are we still asking for it? Plus, some links have been provided that convert Scratch to JavaScript. ST said they ain't making one themselves.

That was Paddle2See confirming the suggestion for Scratch being text-based, not a javascript converter.
