SCRATCH TO C++ CONVERTER

ishbowchef

I would like scratch to have a way to transfer all of the code in your project into c++, so it can be shared easier. It could also maybe allow for console development through Unity or Construct 5.

No support.

Scratch and C++ are not direct translations of each other. Scratch has many features which are not available in C++. For example, Scratch is dynamically typed, and C++ is statically typed.

No support for reasons others have said.

Anyway, Scratch is supposed to help people learn programming so that they can then move on to a “real” programming language - Codeacademy has some really good resources for learning

No support, not useful.

“Not Useful”

C++ is a useful language
Anyway i'd have to no support: C++ and Scratch are both different

Not really any support. Now, I'm very interested in accurate compilations of projects, but cpp conversion would fail miserably. The sad truth.

BlockWare

No suport, they are entirely different languages.

No support. This would be difficult due to the differences in the languages.

Scratch ≠ C++

How will costumes, sounds, and the forever block be translated

This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

C++ is not the same as scratch, you know.

I mean, I do C++, and I have some experience in it, but some blocks just cant be translated.

Bottom line: no support

Just to make my point clear:
Scratch is written in ActionScript, C++ is C++
(Although Scratch 1.4 is written in Squeak, a Smalltalk-like language)

No support.
I imagine IF it was possible, it would be very inefficent.

I dont support. Because how will the forever block and costumes work?

Will it just glitch?

Costumes - no idea, which is why: No Support
Forever -

while(1){
//Code in forever
//and whenever there is a loop end, or a wait you might do
otherCode(return="foreverBlock1");
}

But I don't support

1) They are completely different languages
2) I am personally against people coding in a “fake” language, and converting to a “real” one, because that “real” language might get forgotten </opinion>
3) What would happen to costumes?
4) Why not just cde in C++ instead?

Erm, a 3 block Scratch script could be converted into a few-thousand-line codebase…

No Support. Converting from a high-level language to a low level language for purposes of sharing code is one of the strangest ideas I have ever heard:

PROGRAMMER 1: Darn, this python program is too short and well-written. I wanted to share it with the rest of the dev team but I'm worried they'll think worse of me as a programmer for writing such readable, maintainable code.
PROGRAMMER 2: That's okay, just share the assembly it compiles to.
PROGRAMMER 1: Ah yes, good idea. There we go, 213 222 122 988 lines. Job done.

How about using c++ with sfml?

the answer to 4 is that scratch is A LOT easier to learn and teach than C++

I'll reiterate something I said in a similar topic:
“There are lots of things in Scratch that just don't convert well to other languages (for example, Python: how would the project draw sprites? How would it know to import time for time.sleep if there was a wait block? etc). Plus, if someone wanted to code in another language, shouldn't they be learning that other language?”
No support.

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

No support. Scratch and C++ are two completely different languages.

C++ is a compilation programming language. Scratch is a script language. They work differently.
