A Uber-Challange!

I do not know if this is possible and may sound stupid but here goes.

Can anyone make Scratch run in .javascript

NOT JAVA but javascript, like on web browsers.

So you could play Scratch games on a mobile devices such as:
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo DS
PSP
Mobile Phones
PDA's

It could be done in 2 ways:
Make a mod to save them as javascript code

or

Make a program to change .sb to .javascript

So are YOU up to the challange

Re: A Uber-Challange!

The extension is .js, not .javascript  tongue . Otherwise, it sounds kinda cool  smile . IDK how to do it, though.


Yawn.

Re: A Uber-Challange!

Yes, but most computers (at least Windows) do not identify files with .javascript at the end as JavaScript, the real extension is .js. If the program you're thinking of converted a .sb file to JavaScript and put the extension .javascript on it, Windows wouldn't know what to do with it because the real extension for JavaScript files is .js. (Not that file extensions matter much except to identify files.)


Yawn.

Re: A Uber-Challange!

No one is going to even attempt to make this. No one would bother making this even if it was made in flash because of the time it would take. Javascript is designed for general use in web pages and while you can make games other more specialized languages would be a better option.

You cannot "make a mod and save as javascript code". Java and javascript handle things too differently.


Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

Re: A Uber-Challange!

archmage is correct; there's no easy (or incredibly difficult) way to do this. If you had inhuman JavaScript skills and a lot of time, you could probably make a good attempt at this.

Plus, there would always be a need for updates when new browser inconsistencies came up.

Re: A Uber-Challange!

I was  hoping that someone would get at the fact that javascript is not good for making anyhting other than webpages.

Not possible x3

Unless you way too much skill and time on your hands.

JavaScript can be used to make games and applications as well, though!

Re: A Uber-Challange!

Well after a long thought maybe a mixture of HTML and JavaScript is what we need. So can anyone help?

Re: A Uber-Challange!

I think flash would be way more effective, except for the fact that it costs money.

Re: A Uber-Challange!

hmm.... I personally thing EXE is the most realistic, useful idea.

pros:
accepted by all windows systems
possible  tongue
already done (though not for any of the mods yet)

cons:
does not play online
Macs do not accept it

Actually that's not true, there's plenty of applications that let Macs run Windows executables.

Actually, there are quite some javascript experiments for Scratch 2.0. It will probably be made with Flash, but there is something working completely in JS and HTML5.
