Scratch

Here if some JSON for a raw script directly from the Scratch file:

Code:

[{"x":20,"y":747},[["changeVariable","HighScore","setVar:to:",["readVariable","Score"]]]]

Can you do anything with that?

I don't see where the x and y parts come into it, otherwise it looks like it's setting HighScore to Score. I'm pretty sure if I looked into it, I could write something to decipher blocks like this and convert into functions/raw js.

So that's to be discarded then, unless you're planning an editor too?

Just some foresight, won't this run a little worse than it could because you're using morphic? That's a considerable overhead that you could do away with by making it 100% native.

Potentially. I'm beginning to think about ditching it mainly because of rotating sprites that morphic does not support (it may in the future, idk.) If I weren't so busy, I'd be working on it right now...

But then you'd be doing exactly the same thing as me...I chose to make a native-canvas MVC framework because the player is very centered around the data (the Scratch project that is read from the file). I haven't worked on it in a while because I'm doing something for the block library, though.

I'm gonna have to quit. I wasn't ever much of a help.
I've always felt like (and proved) that I was a good programmer. You guys are just...better. :\

I'm sorry.

Would you consider me joining in ? , been a front-end back end -developer / designer for a while now ^_^,

Fluent in JavaScript , HTML 5 , CSS 3 ..

** Skills **
----------------------------------------

* Mobile Development
* Code Optimization
* Server-Client Communication
* Fluency in Server / Client side javascript

-----------------------------------------

By the way kindly use SVG for ScratchJS or DIV becasue you will require object orientation to a higher level then canvas can provide ,

canvas ofcourse can be coded for it but then the javascript being processed will slow it down 

For binary reading consider this solution

Use Node.js to read the file on server side and push the JS output to the client side in  either JSON or simple JS object format

Yep. ;__;

I might take this up on my own time. I think I know how now.

who knows. I haven't done a big project in a while, but I finally figured out binary, and the scratch file format so i think I can do it. I know canvas like no other.

Has anyone ever noticed that JsScratch won't work properly for projects that use the arrow keys or space because they scroll through the page while you're trying to play the project.

You could hide the rest, or hope there's some kind of focus function to be released?

So you could use toggle-able divs or something?

I thought one had to put "e.preventDefault()" in the event handler code somewhere...
