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

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

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.)

Better still, ASK JENS. I'm sure he can (and will) help you

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.

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.

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!

You think that eh...

All games on that are .js

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

DHTML + days of work + virtually-inhuman abilities = done

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

It neads to be .js as then those things could open it

JavaScript

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.
