Let's remake Scratch as a VB project!

Why don't we remake Scratch in VB?
It could have modern, VB 2010 graphics!

It would be very pleasing to see all you program at same time? No, each time someone finishes, all others still making have to remake all on the new-published one.

I kinda prefer the graphics they have now  hmm  But it would be nice to have to be recreated in a different language, it would be nice for Scratch to be faster.

Re: Let's remake Scratch as a VB project!

I'd like to help but I don't know VB.  hmm  I was thinking (before you made this thread) I could make it in Java.  neutral

Re: Let's remake Scratch as a VB project!

VB would be quite cool. I thought about it before but I couldn't work out where to start.

Re: Let's remake Scratch as a VB project!

Yes you can, LS!

I only know basic programming with VB, as I can't use a variable to count the lines and see if each line has a existing command. If it does, it should do it.
Currently I can't do that.

VB.net is more automated than VB. Start typing in VB.net and every command (Well most) come up. VB.net is also easier to read but the commands are longer.

Check if the line is blank: ( Python: )

Code:

for line in file:
    if line == None: continue
    elif line == 'print': print line[:5]
    else: print 'Command unknown'

etc, etc, etc... I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be too hard.
