Here's a list of things that you might be thinking right now:
a) Not another topic like this!
b) This should be in Suggestions.
c) I can't wait to break the news to this guy...

BUT! before you mention any of these, read the thread first.

I am not suggesting a Scratch app. I am, though, creating a thread for my progress on making one. First of all, this isn't going to be an app on the App Store or Cydia. It's an HTML5 mobile web app that can be downloaded and run natively on any iOS device. The final product won't be out for a while, but, so far, it's looking like it's definitely possible.

What I've finished:
-A way of creating block element groups from a 2 dimensional JS array
-Number and String inputs

What I need to do:
-Parsing and execution engine
-Stage canvas
-Multiple sprites
-Database saving
-Scripting pane
-Costumes
-Sounds

Current bugs:
-Caching isn't working fully, so it doesn't work offline yet.

I started it only a little while ago, so I don't have a whole lot done yet, but I work on it just about every day. I might have some screenshots for this soon.

I'll update this as much as I can, so keep checking. big_smile

PS. This is the right forum to post this in...right?

Maybe it belongs in Advanced Topics?

This sounds great! I'll check back here often. Just out of curiosity, how do you program this kind of thing? smile

You need notepad, knowledge of HTML5, and a LOT of time!

Wow! Awesome! I'll be looking forward to it! smile

Reverberated3 · 2011-03-26 01:22:57

Sounds cool! Will you be uploading it somewhere we can download it from?

Actually, I'm on a Mac, so I use TextWrangler, which has syntax highlighting for HTML and JavaScript.

...which is why windows rules.

I built my own HTML5 Syntax helper. big_smile

That makes absolutely no sense in the context...

Meh. JSO already built a basic system of snapping blocks on js and html.

Just get the parser. Can I help? tongue I have a lot of knowledge on Web programming.

I think I want to do this on my own, sorry.

Also, is JSO's system made for computers specifically? Because mobile devices are much harder to make that kind of thing for, mainly because of the design of the web browsers.

You should have read the second line:
"I made my own HTML5 syntax helper".

Possible with Mac, but harder big_smile

And you know that because you've tried it?

I did. That first sentence still doesn't make sense though: He's saying that windows rules because it has a simple text editor, when I was saying I was using something made for web programming. Macs have a simple text editor too, but It doesn't help when I need to work out syntax errors.

silvershine · 2011-03-30 23:12:46

Oh, by the way, I have plenty of (well ok, way to much) time on my hands, so I would be more than happy to do any beta testing. (I have an iPad, and access to an iPhone)
