Facebook integration
Twitter integration
OpenFeint integration
Multiple views with transitions
Transitions
Menu Maker
Joypad
Accelerometer use
More types of variables
More powerful than scratch
New blocks
Possible text entry also
all blocks scratch has currently
and much much more.

It's so interesting that your idea was posted DIRECTLY after mine, and is almost a complete copy of mine too. 

Wait...... what? I don't understand. What are you talking about????? I don't have any idea what you are talking about..... What idea?

Hopefully in about a month...... not sure though. I have the basic game engine down, just the programming of people adding scripts and the sprites to the screen and playing the game.

Here's a pic of the main menu.... it looks pretty cool

Thanks. I will release interface pictures later with more updates and such.

Hmm... this seems like a great idea. Could people use this program on Mac OS, Windows Vista, Windows XP,etc...? I think this should be free, and Squeak is good for Scratch, though I do admit that Scratch needs better graphics... do you think you could ask the Scratch Team about this? Maybe they could help out with extras... Good job!

Maybe it's just a GPL?

Okay. nice to see theres serious progress here. what's it programmed in? Bah, I don't have a mac anyways.

One thing I'd like is compatability with scratch.. :?

And not be compatable wit scratch? Simply an alt for the iphone?

Really, all you need to do to make scratch for the iphone is to get the isqueak vm for the iphone and make a edited scratch morph that supports dropdown block menus instead of the scrolling square selector, an open and save menu, and  make it the res of the ipod's screen.(the ipad version will be easier when theres a squeak for it, because of the freedom with the screen size)

*EDIT* unless facebook and twitter integration are crucial and easy, make sure it works first, then add the cool stuff.

Tell me if you're using a squeak vm, or making a completely new program from scratch.(pun not intended)

I have been looking around forever, I have a jailbroken iphone and was wondering how the heck to get the isqueak VM. Is there a cydia repo for it?

I have the isqueak VM, amazingly, Scratch does start but it then freezes and wont word. Just saying it is very hard to get. Get it from here: ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/iPhoneAdHoc/

Will your "Scratch Alt" be for download in the app store(will you try to get it there?)
or not?

Neat, it will have to be free, ah?

I have a big update coming out soon. I submitted the update I think two days ago so it should be up by Wednesday. It includes 3 new game modes and a lot of other updates. I also have 2 more on top of the 3 new game modes in the making.

Your scratch iphone thing.

I am using the iPhone SDK.......

If only the iphone sdk was for windows.. then I would have quite a bit of fun with it.
