Say, for example, you made a great game you know your friend would love, but they don't own Scratch. So, you burn them a disc with the "read only" file on it, they open it up and click on it, and voila! The project opens in presentation mode.

I don't know how fantastic this idea is because I don't know much about how all the technical stuff in computers works, but it would be great if possible.

Im not exactly sure but I think this is already possible.

Indeed it is.    It's called discScratchr, an application that allow you to burn SCRATCH projects onto a disc and open them up without having to install SCRATCH onto the computer. Here is a link to the thread so you can read more information on it: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=5468

There's two ways: using JSO's diskScratchr - download here, info here.

or Jen's Chirp compiler - download here, info here.

I couldn't quite see the difference between scratch and chirp.Please tell me what the difference.

discScratchr allows for you to store and carry your projects on a disc, so that you can share them on another computer without having to dowload SCRATCH to that computer. Chrip:Scratch2Exe, however, takes a SCRATCH program and allows you to execute it as a .exe files (executable file for Windows-based systems), again, with no need to download SCRATCH onto the computer.

Both are good, but, for sharing projects with friends, I prefer discScratchr.
