We're seeking contributors to help finish our HTML5 Scratch player (now open sourced!)

ke1235

The readme says “Running the HTML5 player on your own website, or locally, you will need to have PHP so that the proxy.php file can be used to load assets from the same domain.” It sounds like I need to change some setting, but I'm not sure what it means.

Ugh, I try to set up my own copy and of course that's when net2ftp goes down and 000webhost explodes

…Do I really need the PHP to get it to run in any way, shape, or form? Can I get a local copy of the files the PHP script gets? Is xdomain policy invalid on a local copy?

thx

If you buy me a manga I'll help finish your HTML5 Scratch player.

Looks promising! I'd help in any way I can, but I can't use github at the moment

Starred! I've been looking forward to this for a while now.

I'd love to help contribute. (I coded the paint editor for Snap!.)

It's not clear how we'll handle 1.4 loads with this player - but rather than implement the entire conversion in the html5 player, again, we could consider doing something server side.

Kurt is pretty stable right now; you could use that to do the whole conversion in Python (EDIT: ie, server-side).

Alternatively, I believe there's pre-existing code for reading .sb files in JS.

Um… I'm living overseas for a few months and couldn't bring my desktop computer, so I'm on a laptop which doesn't meet requirements for Github so…

Cool! I wish I knew programming (besides Scratch), but I would love to test it.

You need to run it on a webserver. This can be done with something like XAMPP, to run just on your computer, or by creating a free PHP-enabled website (000webhost.com and 1freehosting.com are some options) and putting the code on it.

Alternately, technoboy10 put up the code (it might be a little old though) here, so you can run it.

Thanks! I will try to run it on node.js.

Cool, i use net2ftp too.

Yes, you need PHP for now.
Otherwise, it can't access the files on the Scratch server that it needs.
Hardmath123 seems to have volunteered to work on making it work with local files too. See this issue.

No, node doesn't support PHP. You need a PHP-enabled server.

Install Ubuntu, and then have at look at these instructions.

Will it work on mint?

Almost certainly - mint is a fork of Ubuntu, but from what I understand, the backend bits are basically the same.
