Hey.
I am developing a program in which you will be able to create Scratch sprites in text
format and import them in your Scratch project.
The editor has syntax highlighting and some other features.

No, you have to import the sprite in Scratch.

Oooh, I was thinking of doing something similar -- a little tool that would convert a .sb Scratch project file to a bunch of directories containg the images and scripts of the project for easy editing, and then allow you to compile it back to a project again.

What are you making this in? smile

do you want any help i am quite good at java

Great program ZeroLuck! This will solve everyone's need for scratch-based text smile

ihaveamac · 2012-01-07 08:16:11

I would use this a lot. Thank you for making this. big_smile

Nice smile Have you managed to write .sprite files successfully yet?

No (I am working on it), but I managed to read a .sb file already (in the Scratch Android player).
I know that writing a scratch file is much harder than reading...
but I will see.

There was a topic on the .sprite format a while ago, I'll try to find it.
(*Sets off on a long journey through the forums*) [jk]

This is not my problem.
I know to read .sb files a .sprite file is not very different.
Bur writing is much harder.

Zeroluck, you can probably take that thing out of your signature now, the security hole has been fixed for a while

Sweet! I've had this idea (along with many others) in the back of my head that I have been thinking about. Looking forward to using it. big_smile

It's reasonably complicated, but I'm sure you'll be okay. I'm maintaining a little wiki on the Scratch format, that compiles all the information about it, in case it's of any help to you (:

Pecola1 · 2012-01-08 20:18:18

Sweet!

Bsteward · 2012-01-08 20:49:07

Maybe you could work with JSO to connect this project with the Scratch Blocks plug-in with this allowing sprites to be converted to Scratch Blocks and Scratch Blocks to be converted into sprites. This would be very useful for the wiki.

Mind sending a hex dump instead of raw characters? It's hard to see the bytes right now.

You couldn't post the source code for writing the files, could you? That might be more helpful. smile

It's actually impossible to see the bytes: the forums have replaced most of the unprintable characters with spaces. -_-
