Can you play Scratch Projects on other peoples' computers?

This is for people without Scratch installed on their computers. I want to develop a project for my friends but I'm afraid burning it on a CD won't cut it. Can you drag the program Scratch itself onto the CD so the project will run by itself once the CD is inserted in the other person's computer?

If the computer has scratch on it. I think you can load the project.

You can use Scratch2Exe, and learn about autorun.inf files.

Hi normal _girl,

As jvvg pointed out, there is a Scratch2EXE software, developed by Jens, which you might find interesting.

Re: Can you play Scratch Projects on other peoples' computers?

it is very cumbersome to put the entire program on the disc, also the project may not open because the program would be in an unusual location (i assume)

Yes, then convert your project into an exe file.

Then run your SB through it, to create an EXE.

You can also open it in BYOB and select "Share" and then "Compile This Project..." to create an EXE.  smile
