I am currently making a compiler that could turn your scratch game into a real exe game using url=https://love2d.org/]LOVE2D.
Sadly some features won't be available like the use webcams and graphic effects (except the color effect)
Project will be posted in github soon
*Also how could I be a scratcher? does Profile Picture count? It's sad to deal with these limitations *

To become a scratcher use scratch a lot and be kind and don't post spam. You will get an invitation in your messages when you can become a scratcher.

Spamming helps you become a scratcher faster.
However, spamming does not add to the discussion, no matter how interesting the spam may be.

Can you make it compile to GNU/Linux and macOS as well?

Since LOVE2D supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android and iOS as stated in the website (https://love2d.org/), I'd say yes

You're writing a Scratch to Lua converter, and a Scratch-compatible Lua graphics library?

Yes I am writing a Scratch to Lua converter, and the graphics library will be provided by LOVE2D

I thought Lua didn't support threads? How are you going to do sprites and clones?

Scratch doesn't support real threads either.

Lua uses coroutines, but with modules, you can also use native pthreads or windows threads.

LÖVE adds threads support.

good to know. well, when you're developing this, do let us follow along. I've always been a big fan of source to source translation - it's a really fun endeavor.

We already have the Snapinator and Snapp! to convert most Scratch projects into SnapXML and EXE files.
Also, please don't reply to this post anymore. Most of this discussion was in 2017 and I doubt the project is still being worked on.

There’s also the TurboWarp Packager, so there’s really no need for this. Also, this was for Scratch 2.0, so even if it was finished it wouldn’t work anymore.
