Scratch EXE Creator - turn Scratch projects into EXEs and repack them!

Scratch EXE Creator is yet another way to turn one of your Scratch projects into an EXE, with one new, revolutionary feature: it can put the project back into the EXE after you've saved it! This is helpful with any project where you can save your progress.

Download it from here (or here if you use Windows XP) and enjoy! Don't worry about how to use it, there are instructions included.

The current version is 1.1.

Older versions:
1.0.1

Re: Scratch EXE Creator - turn Scratch projects into EXEs and repack them!

Is it like Scratch2Exe? When you run the compiled project, does it enter fullscreen or does it have its own window?


The glass is never half full nor half empty; it is twice as large as it needs to be.

Yes, it's like Scratch2EXE, and it opens in presentation mode.

Bump!

The package now includes the ability to create an EXE that manually saves its project anywhere you want as a separate choice, and there are also a few tweaks to the batch scripts.

Repacking is saving the project into the EXE, how is repacking bad for you?

It did it, but it did the sample project! I tried deleting it, but then it wouldn't work!

You need to, after deleting the sample project, copy your project into the folder and rename it to project.sb or project. Then it should work.

Re: Scratch EXE Creator - turn Scratch projects into EXEs and repack them!

EPIC BUMP!

I've updated the package; a few things are optimized and the program is given an official version: 1.0. Any feedback/ideas for future versions are appreciated.  big_smile

Please be more specific. How does it not work? What sort of error do you get, if any? Make sure your project is in the same folder as CreateScratchEXE.bat and is called project.sb before running CreateScratchEXE.bat.

EDIT: Wait a sec - the instructions in the zip have mysteriously disappeared!!  yikes  *facepalm* I'll update the zip file right away!

Try Darwine. It lets you run EXEs on a Mac.


I'm currently taking a break from Scratch.
Zing - now even easier to install!
