Scratch for kindle

Hi,

I run a site

[link removed by moderator - no commercial advertising please]

And am wondering if scratch can be used for mobile app development.  Specifically, development for the Kindle Fire Tablet.

Thanks

Re: Scratch for kindle

Scratch for android could be quite cool, since the kindle fire tab is android..

So if there was a Squeak VM for Android (undoubtably there is one) it should be easy enough..

Re: Scratch for kindle

If the Kindle Fire is anything like the Kindle, I don't see how it will be able to display Scratch project, since it has to render everything in ink.  I don't know how you'd display something that requires frames.

I think I have the .ipa file but I don't think it'll work unless your iDevice is jailbroken.

Re: Scratch for kindle

Scracth on kindle: Classic
In Theory a good idea BUT:
My Kindle often freezes up on my Facebook for a few seconds so it would probably shoot itself B4 even touching something as intensive as scratch.
Also Ink screen, scratch  smile  fun.

Kindle Fire YES. We need an android app for scratch!

Re: Scratch for kindle

This has been talked about a lot. You could maybe run it in an android squeak vm. I haven't tried.

Nope. The kindle fire has a color touchscreen, not ink. The kindle/kindle dx use ink.
