It looks great! But you should change the title.

This is actually really cool. Unfortunatley, I'm on a chroembook instead of my PC so I can't access github, but does how exactly does ti work. Do you write the code, then export the .sb3 and run it on turbowarp? does it have turbowarp extensions support? can you test games live?

This project is very impressive tho!

Hi yes thank you!
I am addressing that issue right now w github by making a website to make this project more accessable.
Currently, the offline version follows this “pattern” if you will:

• You write some code in a “.scrtxt” file, and feed its file path in
  
• It translates the code, generating an sb3 file for you
  
• You can then open the file in either scratch or turbowarp (since both support sb3 files)
  

As for turbowarp extensions: very insightful!! This is actually on my todo list, along with allowing custom extensions to be loaded in quite easily.
A lot is in the works!!
Hopefully I will get a working website up for it in the coming weeks

Thanks for your interest!

Ah ok. I wonder if having the name with “Scratch” in it does interfere with the trademark. I will look into it. Thanks!

For web hosting, I know 2 sites that can do this for free. The easiest is render, which if you log in with your github account you can create a static site, and then select the repo and it will deploy. the domain is {name}.onrender.com.

I'm assuming this is written in js? My school chromebook has github blocked sadly.

I'm hoping to get on my pc later and take a look at this, it sounds good!
Hope this helps

That's what I was expecting. Nonetheless, this project is very cool. I've taken a look at their GitHub, and it's very impressive. A live preview is very useful though, and there is a way to do this that could be applied here. I know the project is written in Python, but both Turbowarp and Scratch offer an open-source version of their VM, but the project is written in JavaScript, unfortunately. Although I mainly use Javascript, I started out on Python and still use it for file-related tasks and APIs, and I've had my own encounters with trying to bridge the two. I haven't looked deep into the VM's code, but you could try making live updates by hosting a web server with the VM, compiling the project on every save, and sending it to the VM. This would work nicely with VSCode as well as you could open the VM as another tab. I'm not sure if this would work, but if it could it be useful to have something like this. I know Sass has this since just like this project, it is transcompiling to CSS actively. This would be a very useful tool, and a great extension to work on in the future.

Thanks for your interest! I wasn't planning on delving into the specifics of how I wanted to accomplish this, but as scratchyjimjam pointed out (and I came to the same conclusion as well before them too is that render is the best here.

Again, I wasn't planning on sharing the current plan but because there seems to be some interest, here is the current plan (subject to change):

• First off, the project will use my python scripts, but use flask to host the webserver, to server the compiled sb3 files, which I will then run using the turbowarp- forked vm
  
• 2nd, Render will probably be my host of choice, at least until I see fit to upgrade to some other options. This all depends on the popularity and usage of the sight
  
• 3rd, I could probably make a static website with out having the python backend, but I am not as well versed in js, and already have all the logic in python, so here we are
  

Thanks for all you guys' inputs!

If i'm being honest i'm bored at the moment, so I am going to try and attempt rewriting the python to javascript. Ive been using js for game development recently so hopefully I can do something - but no promises! I'll give it a go and post an update later

Yes, i am m aware, as you can see from the post above yours. Thanks for making sure I knew though!

Sure! That sounds great! You may want to wait a bit however until I release the website version, as many crucial changes have been made on my end.
I will push some time this week if you would like to wait

If you ever need any Javascript-related things, I could contribute. I've been waiting ages for this, so I'd love to help.

the syntax here is so much cleaner and better than tosh imo. great work here!

Scratch++ is actually sooo cool!! I wish I was that good at scratch :c. I only come back to scratch for nostalgia when I'm feeling burnt out I usuallyj just stick to js now

New rebrand as “Katnip”!! See github Repo for full changes

Any new updates? Maybe a mirror (cuz school chormebooks r js like that)

Hi sorry y'all, I've been busy with midterms.
I just recently bought and published Katnip.org, feel free to check it out!

This is in fact a wip, so I'm rewriting some syntax, the whole compiler, and recreating the gui.
Lots of changes to come, but at least I have something to show for my work!

The “Editor” and “Docs” links both lead to 404s.

Yes, this website is a work in progress, and will change a lot over the next month. It is ok for now, as the editor is just the root page

Rebrand goes hard! Whats the progress on the project?
