Developers:

bobbybee
pwiter(lolzballs)

Re: Itchy++ - a Scratch C++ Port

Sounds cool!  smile  Are you going to support Scratch 1.4, 2.0, or both?

EDIT: from reading that thread, I assume 2.0.

Probably suggests Scratch++ is not okay...

to start with probably just 2.0 so that people with Raspberry pis can use Scratch 2.0 sooner. and the new file format is a lot easier to use!

yep. i've tried to do support 1.4 in JBlocks you can see the result here i had to completly rewrite it becaus we don't own the Scratch applet source, something went wrong with our svn though and all the commit messages and dates got messed up...

Re: Itchy++ - a Scratch C++ Port

This looks cool (although I don't want to develop it). However, you really should change the name for the reasons mentioned above.

Re: Itchy++ - a Scratch C++ Port

Yes, to confirm, calling it Scratch++ is not ok (or having Scratch in the name at all).

Re: Itchy++ - a Scratch C++ Port

I can help program. Just started learning C++, but I know java, so it should be quite simple.

Yeah, but C++ is for smart people, and that's a reference to Homer's crayon brain.
