making scratch create graphics.

is there any way to use scratch to make movable graphics? i am trying to make a programing language with its own graphics editor, and cant think of a way to make object oriented scripts work.

Re: making scratch create graphics.

So let me get this straight: You are creating a programming language--with a block-based programming language? O.O

And also, what do you mean by "graphics editor"? Is it interface or something in the program?

I think he/she means that they want to be able to make a project where the user paints/creates their own sprite. This would not be possible to program in Scratch, but with a modification of Scratch like Bingo, you could make the program add a painted sprite created by the user.

The only workaround is to have a bunch of pre-created objects that the user can select and add to their project within your project.  tongue

Re: making scratch create graphics.

yeah, basicly that. i was thinking, if there was some way to draw with the pen, then make the drawing act like a sprite.

You could, but the program would lag a ton because once you made a sprite with the pen, it would have to be redrawn every time it moves to a new spot or is affected.  hmm

Re: making scratch create graphics.

you're probably right, it would need to be done single frame, and in turbo mode.

+1

You could do this by storing information in lists. I've done similar things before.

Re: making scratch create graphics.

actually, that fits just fine, as the language will use lists to work as well
