Scratch

can you release the current version now please?

Sorry, I don't want because:
1. You won't be able to open your own files now.
2. I first want to make rotating and scaling and graphic effects work.
   (Because your projects are using them too!)
3. It has some glitches yet.

Do you understand me?

Yea. 

Try one of my projects. I don't have an android device so I'm unable to test.

In this Applet you can see how projects are running in the Android player on WINDOWS!...

I believe the Scratch "normal-speed" stepping rate is around 40-50fps. If your threads yield when Scratch does, just sleep max(0, 1000 / fps - deltaTime) when all threads have yielded or terminated.

Thanks!

The rotate block seems to be turning backwards. :S
Is there meant to be a lack of keyboard input? I thought a lot of androids had keyboards.

Normal scratch framerate is 40fps btw

Do you know how many blocks scratch executes in a second?
That's the thing I want to know because my player has currently
over 1000 blocks in a second    And I already use a Thread.sleep(1)...

I don't support Keyboard because you can't play a game with the Android keyboard.
That would be fail 

But you can use the ask block to get user input... (It opens a Dialog in the Android player)

After loops & wait blocks (etc.) the thread "yields" until the next frame, when it continues executing where it left off. In turbo mode, the evaluator executes frames continuously until it exceeds a time limit, then repaints once.

In this way, there's no real limit on the number of blocks executed per second or per frame, it's just limited by the length of the stack and where the stack yields.

I quite like the idea of having an insanely fast scratch player; practical

Will this work for older versions like 2.2?

The Android Player?
Why not?

I tried this out on my dad's htc sensation by the way, and it works great!

Which?
The paint.apk?

I can help. I know java pretty well and i have a lenovo ideapad k1 with android 3.1. I also have the adb thing for it(delveolped some simple apps)

Cool!
But there is a problem: The source of the player is very big, more than 4000 lines code 
It'll be hard for you to understand the code...

I can't seem to get to WE's log game..... But paint.apk works well though I'm having trouble bringing the slider back, but maybe that's because I'm trying it out on my small screened phone? I tried this on the applet and it its too fast sometimes and keeps playing the sounds. Also, is there going to be a green flag and the stop button in the player? and finally, are you planning to support variable sliders? Btw seems like you're going full steam ahead! awesome! 

Thanks for the sound bug report!
I will fix that now.
Add a greenflag and a stop button won't be a problem 
(But I am not sure how It'll look on small devices...)
And I think I will support different Variables types!

Why didnt my log game work? Were there errors?

The error is in my player...
Your LOG game is getting faster and faster and soon you aren't able to click
the falling blocks 
(It's getting extremly fast, faster than you can see    )

But I search the bug so it will work in some days!!

I'll try my best to make sense of it
