Is Scratch really Java?

One time when I went to play  a game of Scratch on here, I noticed a Java loading page. That got me thinking:

Is the actual Scratch program made with Java?

No, the online player and the scratch programm are two completely different programs. The Scratch program is programmed with squeak! , while the online player is programmed with java.

That's interesting. I always new it that scratch was made using squeak or something but I always got confused when I saw the Java loading thing.

Re: Is Scratch really Java?

I would like to know something more on the Java output of Scratch. Are concurrent animations obtained with threads? If so, is there someone able to show me a (very small!) java project involving concurrent animation in Java?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hmm, do you mean like a game programmed with Java?

Is so, try www.runescape.com or www.funorb.com

No, I realize I was very unclear. I meant that I would like to be able to have a look to some simple code of a simple Java game based on concurrent (i.e. thread-based) animation of sprites. The best code would just have a few classes and methods.
