Scratch in Logisim
Looking for a quick download? Click here!
Scrogisim is simply Scratch, the programming language, simulated in Logisim.
SCROGISIM was chosen because it combines SCRatch and lOGISIM.
(SCROGISIM)
Original Post:
I just thought of this idea. Logisim is an electrical wire simulator which can be downloaded as a computer application.
So the question is: Why not make Scratch in it? xD

Re: Scratch in Logisim
I'm sure if you spent the time and researching time, you could make a computer that's dedicated to only creating/running Scratch projects. It would probably end up being the fastest Scratch player.

Re: Scratch in Logisim
This sounds cool!
Can you explain more though?

Re: Scratch in Logisim
Logisim is an electronics simulator. Scratch is software.
If Scratch was in Logisim, it'd be a simulation of Scratch as hardware on/in the Logisim software!

Re: Scratch in Logisim
Is it possible to access the hard drive or do graphics in logisim? maybe i'm just too much of a n00b with it.

1. No. Logisim simulates the electronics inside an electronic "sandbox". It does not execute real action except for opening and saving circuits.
2. Yes. But because of the way Logisim (or electronics in general) works, it's be pretty hard.

Re: Scratch in Logisim
I've finally created a test release, called "Scress"!
The name was created from "Scratch" and "Press", where you press buttons to move a little square and you can interact with it.
Current buttons:
- change x by 1
- change y by 1
Settings:
- negative values? (applies to up-coming button presses)

since it's virtual circuits, how do you access the hard drive? or would there be an input for the SB file to be typed in?

1. You can't access a real computer's hard drive.
2. You can't access a real computer's files.

i get that part, what i want to know is how it can run an sb without accessing the hard drive.

Not much right now, it just lets you use buttons to move a little pixel. I will be doing IF statements soon.

oh, it's scratch programming. that makes more sense.

Re: Scratch in Logisim
I didn't add IF statements yet, but I've added interaction settings.
The player of a project can now:
- interact with it without programming it truely.

Re: Scratch in Logisim
I've also created Scresstra, which is an update of but not based on any items in Scress except for the location data sub-circuit.
The location data sub-circuit converts a value position x or y to a number that when displayed on LED looks like a dot is moving. I didn't need to specialize it for the two-dimensional 16x16 screen I had in my circuits.

Scrogisim beta 2 is under development.
Who wants beta 3 to be a public beta?

I actually agree-- I might even let you all get a sneak preview of Scrogisim beta 2!
