We did. But most of it wouldn’t even be able to convert and even if it did, it might not work.

The only thing I imagine doing with this is converting some of my favorite 2D games to Scratch so I can make mods for them, as I’m a console player and there isn’t any real way of making mods on consoles. Other than that, this would be pretty much useless.

I feel like you can make this work with Game Maker Language, among other things. Like I said, This might be hard to Implement, and might take some collaboration, but I feel like it is possible.

Isn’t game maker for the switch though

you mean game builder garage?

no support

scratch is supposed to be simple

and this

is not simple

and yeah

you can use gamejolt or whatever thingy

This very likely isn't possible.

Yeah, it seems like they might convert some “lines of code” with blocks but like:
How accurate would it be?? Scratch would work completely differently than what you're converting from most likely and would likely be less complex.
It's like trying to convert an sb3 to sb to exe, deleting the sb3 and sb files, and then expecting that you could convert it to sb2.

No support, how would this even work? All of those languages are more complex than Scratch is, so many stuff wouldn't translate well, if not at all.

Exept html and javascript. Those could work for converting.

No support. Doing this would make Scratch way too complex and confusing, and Scratch already rejected this suggestion, please look at the Official List Of Rejected Suggestions before posting these kinds of topics.

I think this might be rejected under

2.5 Official Scratch to EXE converter
On Scratch, an important goal is to have anyone be able to look at the code for any project. This philosophy is not only important for learning code and remixing, but is also important for moderation purposes; for more information, see #3.2 and #4.1 on this list. Converting to EXE (or any other black box executables) will prevent users from looking at the code, and hence goes against this philosophy. Third party converters do exist, and you are allowed to use those, but the Scratch Team will not make an official converter.

But i'm not sure

it’s official exe to scratch converter

.

its simple, have a malicous code. that would be a malicous scratch project, such as a cloud ip logger. unsafe. please no.

I think you’re thinking about RPG Maker, GameMaker is, IIRC, a different engine.

No, I think Breadcat was actually thinking about Game Builder Garage which is kinda like Scratch in the sense that it's GUI-based and not code based.

No support, for some really complicated reasons.

Since I paid for PseudoEditor Pro, I can just do “AI-powered Code to Pseudocode” -> re-implement manually in scratch. But let's pretend you don't pay for that. (To be honest, what with ChatGPT and all, this won't make a huge difference but eh better safe than sorry )

This means that all you would have to do without this feature is:

1: Think about how you would turn this into pseudocode (human-readable code but can't actually be compiled)
2: Implement the pseudocode in Scratch.

And that would basically not do anything for the Scratch Team as they aren't the ones who have to do this.

But with this suggestion, the Scratch Team has to do a lot more things in order to make the Scratch interoperability functionality work.

Also, I know I know “no doubleposting” but this just has to be made as a separate post because my original post is getting too long for my standards.

The new scratchers were most likely not spamming for no reason, but rather trying to somehow convert their typed out code into an actual Scratch project. At least that is my interpretation.

That’s impossible. Just straight up impossible

when green flag clicked
ask “Enter a whole number X:” and wait
set X to answer
set productDivisible to 1
set productNotDivisible to 1

repeat until X = 0
set digit to X mod 10
if digit mod 3 = 0 or digit mod 7 = 0
set productDivisible to productDivisible * digit
else
set productNotDivisible to productNotDivisible * digit
end
set X to floor(X / 10)
end

say “Product of digits divisible by 3 or 7: ” & productDivisible
say “Product of digits not divisible by 3 or 7: ” & productNotDivisible
