Re: Scratch 3d
The language is turing complete, so it can be used for 3D, you'd just need to code a whole 3D engine.
This has been suggested hundreds of times, all denied. There are other amateur programming languages in 3D, I'm sure someone can list them.

You can make a 3D engine.

Yes, an unquestionable argument.
Really it depends what you want to do, creating a full 3D environment that allows movement would be painfully slow and require complex vector math, while stamping a costume whilst moving upwards is easy

Re: Scratch 3d
I think there's someone re-creating Scratch completely in a newer version of Squeak that is capable of 3D. I'll try and find a link...

you can already make 3D by using certain blocks.
Wireframe, that is.
Dreamod is working on a mod called Sky, that will support 3D.

Re: Scratch 3d
Wireframe is one way.
The others include
1. Stamping repeatedly (like my cube project)
2. Using a "z" variable which directly affects the size.

yup, the size is like the z axis.

Just for a little more reference, the first example can be shown here.
And the second can be shown here.

Re: Scratch 3d
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a 3D engine?
Thank you!

Does it mean like xyz?
Using the "z" variable? Because that is not true 3D, but is partly.

Re: Scratch 3d
@mythbusteranimator: Please at least skim through the entire thread before posting. It's not that long.
I said this earlier.

Re: Scratch 3d
There's already a way to program 3D games and FPSs. Scratch 2.0 will come out with Vector Graphics which should help it out.
