Export Unity, Unreal Engine etc. to scratch

na74

Hello, a thing that it would be very useful it would be export Unity, Unreal Engine, Gamemaker etc. projects to Scratch. Example: I have made a 2D RPG game on Gamemaker and I’m new on scratch (EXAMPLE), but I can use Gamemaker perfectly. And there would be a section in the code panel to export projects from other platforms. I hope this suggestion was helpful.

Thats arguably a downgrade.
Besides, you can always use Replit(maybe), Steam, GitHub(I believe, this and Steam require downloading in most cases) Itch, GameJolt, and more. Itch.il might be best, or GitHub. But, why should you bring other files into Scratch when there are plenty of other files?
And, do you mean importing?
Finally, it might be quite tough to convert languages like C#(Unity), C++(Unreal) and others to valid Scratch code, which they would like exceed the limit.
Doesn’t GameMaker also have a lot of features not in Scratch?
Finally, this might lead to copyright issues unless the ST signs deals with a lot of companies.

It could be a bad idea, the point of the editor is to code with Scratchblocks and not export projects from other engines, so that could ruin everything. If you're new, just learn and practice.

Doesn’t

Yeah

, anyways, I think (in my personal opinion), that it would help to the new scratchers who went from, for example Unity to Scratch.

If you know C#, you almost defiantly can catch onto Scratch rally easily.

Well, Just a question, what's the point of converting Unity projects to Scratch? There's no actual point, you still can share your games on Steam or Itch.

Joke?
Probably

Yeah, but scratch it’s NOT a game platform so… idk.

Definitely joke

I wanna report to close but I’ve already done 2 of them in the past 30 mins

Your suggestion seems to be rejected.

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 teachers.

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 that serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.

(no offense) I think Unity to Scratch is a downgrade.

literally how would this work /gen

guess this suggest got pwned, reporting to be closed.

As stated in post #11, this suggestion is rejected.
And even if it wasn't, how would this work? And why would you? Just learn how to code for Scratch. It's like making a Twitter post for YouTube.

kinda offtopic but you can use gamejolt too

I don't think that applies here. They don't want to be able to code in Scratch with other syntaxes - they want to be able to import other syntaxes into Scratch. Personally, I think it would be a great way to get more people interested in Scratch. They could import their work on other sites and then use Scratch to take it in different directions.

Yes however, it would be extremely difficult, even impossible to convert a more complex item to something simpler and in a different language with 1 conversion and no human interface
