make it as C, as for C/C++ will be used to it

Yes, I did figure out how to call a file selection dialog in C++, however, it's only available for Windows. In order for this to be cross-platform, I'll probably have to drop the TUI (Terminal User Interface) style of ScratchLang, and make it a command-line-based program instead. For example,
scratchlang --decompile C:\\Users\\me\\project.sb3 -o C:\\Users\\me\\slprojects\\project1
would be how you would decompile a project.

This applies to C# as well, in order for it to be cross-platform software I would have to do the same thing.
the Rustaceans are coming…

I forgot rust exists

I remember wanting to learn it at one point, but the syntax looks even more complicated than C++

Development is a little slow since I've been working on other things, but I'll try to work on this project a little more

I'm just trying to look for a library that'll help me create a zip archive
(I've tried libzip and minizip so far, minizip failed and I'm still experimenting with libzip)

I've figured out how to create an archive, so I've resumed development on the C++ port. I have the repo posted but I don't really want anyone to contribute anything yet cause I'm still working on stuff

Plus there's extra headers/dlls/libraries I forgot to add/delete so you wouldn't be able to compile it anyway

Development is going really well :D

I've gotten the decompiler working and now I just need to add the blocks.

Also, what would you guys like to see in ScratchLang?

the unzipper flag to just do the same but unzip it (aka renaming sb3 to zip (only file extension, not whole project name (figure out how do get that)))

That would be pretty useless since you could just change the extension via a file explorer.

Is there really much of a reason to rewrite it in C++

Cross platform is easier in C++, plus I wanted to get better at the language as well.

lets just hope I dont quit on the C++ version and try to rewrite it in some obscure language like Lua

some people don't know how to rename a file, on the GUI or terminal/CMD.

If you are going to go all this way to use a text-based version of Scratch, you should know how to rename a file

I know how to, only in the GUI one though, i don't know how to rename files in CMD, however i know (kinda) how to rename a file with a Node.js script, however this is unrelated.

Knowing how to rename a file in via GUI is still knowing how to rename a file.

BTW I haven't been developing this lately cause I got loads of other things to do, and I get distracted. One day I'll get back to it.

Also what scratch is purple now?! I haven't been here in a long time lol

Yeah, I just might lol

const juniper = programmer && musician;
// my pronouns are she/her
// i am trans and bi :P
// you can call me june or juni for short but i prefer juniper

python version:

juniper = programmer and musician
# my pronouns are she/her
# i am trans and bi :P
# you can call me june or juni for short but i prefer juniper

I don't have a lot of time to work on this anymore so it probably won't be finished for a while.
