Wow, I'm amazed by how incredibly constructive and informative this post is!

That would be great to have. You could play the game like if it was an actual video game, instead of a Scratch project. JavaScript is very hard to learn, especially for young kids and adults. Almost anyone could learn Scratch with a little bit of research, so kids could program proper games!

What is annoying is how hard it might be to create a converter. While you can convert .sb files with a converter, nobody has come up with a real solution to the problem. You could convert .sb2 files to .sb (there is a converter for that,) and then convert .sb to .jar, however new features of Scratch 2.0 will not work here.

I think it is a great idea overall!

So am I!

But, IIRC, you can't download the JavaScript program from Phosphorus.
…Or is there a way to download it I don't know about?

@OP Are you saying we should be able to download Scratch projects to JavaScript, or just view them in JavaScript? Because I'm a bit confused here.

if you make it into a convert to HTML5 that would probably work better because JavaScript and CSS work with HTML5

hang on, scratch should be made in javascript right? so scratchblocks should be able to be converted to java and vice verca.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH i have seen a tutorial of (I think it was C#) coding and that was the first code I reconized from Scratch =-P

1. Scratch 3.0 is being written in JavaScript, but Scratch 2.0 is written in ActionScript.
   
2. Java is totally different from JavaScript.
   

Have you actually tried Scratch 3.0?

Here is their most recent stable work-in-progress version of Scratch 3.0.

It should be you right click a block or script and it roughly shows you what it would be on JavaScript… I think this would help a lot because I want to learn JavaScript!

Learn a real programming language. Sorry, but Scratch is just for making silly little projects, not anything large or complex.

SCRATCH TO JS CONVERTER (NOT ALL DONE):cool:


VARIABLES DO NOT HAVE “ ” OR ‘ ’ BUT TEXT DOES:

VARIABLE
“ TEXT ”
' TEXT '

function hello() { stuff inside }

If (condition) then ( stuff inside )
is

If (condition) then ( stuff inside ) else ( stuff inside )
is

set to

var VariableName = Value;

repeat (Value) ( stuff inside )
is
for (i = 0; i<Value; i++) { stuff inside }

wait until (condition)
is
while (!condition) { }

repeat until (condition) ( stuff inside )
is
while (!condition) { stuff inside }

ask and wait
is
answer = prompt(Question);

add (Thing) to (ListName)
is
ListName.push(Thing);

replace item (Value) of (ListName) with (Thing)
is
ListName = Thing;

length of (ListName)
is

I'm sorry if it's spam.

I'd love this idea. I think it would help Scratch be what it's supposed to be – a way to let any experience level program. This would facilitate Scratchers learning to program in other languages or help them get farther along in an already learned language.

The problem is that Scratch is so different from other languages, any sort of converter would be kind of annoying to make.
Either way, Scratch is for learning to program: if you wanted to get something in another language, you can learn it.
No support.

The way to convert the above is to use the following in Javascript:

if () {

}

———————————-

Below is a full example:

———————————-

function initial() {

var x = 10;

if (x == 10) {

alert(“Passed!”);

} else {

alert(“Failed!”);

}

}

———————————-

In the example above, I made a simple script that can be activated (You could use this to activate: <button onclick=“initial”>TEST</button>).
I've also spaced each line apart (to try to make it easier to understand, it could be placed on a single line).
Here is the break down: When the function “initial” is “called” (just like a phone, when you call someone, it sends a message to the number you called) upon, it checks the variable “x” (which in this case, I've set x to the number 10), to see IF “x” is equal to the number “10” (Also note, this function should always show a popup saying “Passed!” unless the variable x is changed) as you can see in the example above: ‘ if (x == 10) {’ simply means that the code is checking to see if x is equal to 10. Anything in BETWEEN the brackets (This thing —-> “{” and this thing —-> “}”), the code will execute (what the program will do).
In the example above, I just programmed it to show a popup if x is equal to 10.

Later on, you might want to do more things, I usually set a variable to an HTML object like an input field:

———————————-
<!DOCTYPE>

<html>

<body>

<input type=“text” id=“input” value=“” placeholder=“Some text here…”>

<p><button onclick=“Test()”>Test Button</button></p>

<p id=“display”></p>

<script>

function Test() {

var x = document.getElementById(“input”).value.toLowerCase();

if (x == “hi” || x.indexOf(“hi”)!=-1) {

txt = “Hello!”;

} else if (x.indexOf(“how”)!=-1 && x.indexOf(“you”)!=-1) {

txt = “I am doing well, thanks for asking! ”;

} else {

txt = “I'm sorry, I could not understand you. ”;

}

document.getElementById(“display”).innerHTML = txt;

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

———————————-



Above is just another example that I used to make a small chat bot.
New Items Used in this example:
1.) Tags (These things —-> “<!DOCTYPE>”, “<html>”, “<script>”, “<style>”, “<body>”, etc.)
2.) Input (This thing —-> “<input …>” except without the “… in the code.)
3.) DOM (This —-> ”document.getElementById…“ also without the ”…" in it.)

Tags: Used to state what type of code it is or to show what's in it.
Input: Used to get a user's response.
DOM: Used to get and/or set something. In other words, it is like a targeting system, you set a target, and it will get information from the target.

I sure do hope that this was helpful!

(Also note: This is not meant for people that already know how to code in HTML, Javascript, etc. so please, do not criticize that you already know it and stuff, unless you found something that I did wrong.)
