Hi All,

Anyone integrated Scratch 2.0 with Unity? Allowing Scratch projects to port to Unity for running in Unity. I would like kids who create simple Scratch games to port to Unity to not only create a Unity enabled game but also then learn Unity techniques to optimise and build on their current project.

Thanks for your insight.

That sounds pretty cool! I've tried unity before, and it's quite confusing. Being able to convert scratch projects would really help me understand unity. I won't be able to help, of course, because I don't understand unity, but I would be happy to test it out!

While it would be cool, I worry about the practicality of such an idea.

Would be great to have Scratch projects running cross-platform.

Unity could profit a lot from a Scratch language structure because the framework is basically still 3D. Even if you develop a 2D app you have to set camera position and angle, etc.

In general, that sounds very cool, but I think this is a _lot_ of work.

If you are looking for the Scratch block style syntax, then you will have a better chance creating one specifically for Unity. Scratch to Unity just seems way too impractical and the conversion would be painful.

Can someone tell me if there is a version of Scratch that is written in C# or JS? I am making a Unity3D game and want to give the player full control over his powers. Like, integrated INTO the game?

You want to include Scratch as an integrated scripting language for your game?! That actually be really interesting. Also, since you mentioned JS+Unity, note that UnityScript is not entirely the same as JS.

I have 0 experience with Unity, so I don't know exactly how close UnityScript is to JS, but perhaps you could look into Phosphorus? It uses a separate library to compile projects to JavaScript. Exactly how it works, I have no idea. This is about as much as I can help.
