Arduino extension soon?
I know you said you didn't want alternatives… but for others that find this thread I thought I might share the project I've been working on that involves connecting scratch to Arduino but in a slightly different way than the old S4A project. While that was focused on providing a way for Arduino programs to communicate with an Arduino, with the Scratch code still running on your computer, and requiring a connection between the computer and Arduino board, I have been working on a way to convert Scratch games into Arduino C++ code, so they can be run completely independent from your computer once you upload them to the board. The project is still in early stages but several scratch games I made as test cases convert pretty well (there are still bugs even in those games, so this isn't a “done” project that works for everything). Would be very interested to hear back if anyone tries it out on one of their games!
