Re: 3d

This has been suggested more than enough times by a lot of users: it is possible to make minimal 3d, but with a lot of experience. The Scratch team, suffice it to say, does not have the time or resources to add a z axis.

Re: 3d

You can make kind of 3d's like the lego builder. So you can but it's not as easy as pressing a 3d/2d button.

*sigh* Not to be mean, but this needs a page on the FAQ with a big "NO." on it.

This has been suggested already a zillion times, but Scratch will NEVER have it.

If you want to create 3D programs, just stick to ROBLOX, or use StarLogo TNG, which is also made by MIT students: http://education.mit.edu/drupal/starlogo-tng

ROBLOX may be a bad idea since Telamon made Lua scripting more complex.

Not Telamon. David Bazsucki, Eric Cassel, and other people also created the game.

Re: 3d

At first I've started to use Scratch to make a 3d man , like in this cctv design tool together with my son.

But Starlogo TNG looks like a good solution for 3d programming. Thanks!

Re: 3d

3D? I think it should be able to handle 2D better first.

I know this might puut some people off, but i have tryed star logo TNG, it is mind bogglingly hard to understand, how to make a project out of it.

Yep, I'm afraid it's a bit harder than Scratch.

P.S: Did anyone notice "that brick-based MMORPG" is filtered out?

Implement AppleScript? Quartz Composer?
Scratch
[blocks]
<repeat( 25
<say[ Hello World!
<end>
[/blocks]
AppleScript

Code:

repeat 25 times
display dialog "Hello World!"
end repeat
end

AppleScript has almost all Scratch functions and can control applications.

Code:

tell application "Finder" to shut down -- shut down the computer
end

Almost any mac can compile AppleScript!
Also, there's Quartz Composer(only available with Xcode package) in which users can hook up blocks to do cool 2D and 3D stuff.

Re: 3d

Actually, scratch would run rather well in 3D. You see, there is a full 3D engine in squeak. scratch would just need to tap into this.
