Scratch for android?

Wait! Before reporting this to be closed, remember that this is DIFFERENT from all of the other "Scratch for Xxx" threads.

Anyways, many people have suggested that Scratch be ported to the iTouchy or iFone. And they are told time and time again that that's not allowed by appledapple's rules.

But the Android Market has few rules (and not even an approval process). And Processing, an easy to learn programming language with focus on graphics, is floating around.

Especially with the new android feature.

veggie is making a project that ports as many blocks as possible to Processing. We could borrow some of that and write a drag and drop editor. We could replace SoundCipher with the stock MediaPlayer (processing+android doesn't work with libraries...yet).

Anyone wanna help?

Re: Scratch for android?

it would be really easy, seing that Android Devices are built on JAVA, but can support flash.

I don't know how you plan to do this but I know a bit of normal programming!

Re: Scratch for android?

if you saw the scratch 2.0 prototype, it was possible to make projects with a tablet that supports flash, such as my android galaxy tab! It worked! ☺

Yeah, I forgot to try it. It was probably very slow though, most flash things are.

Re: Scratch for android?

I make thing

(I really, really need an actual title though!)

Code:

////////////////////////////
//MAYBE A LAYOUT          //
////////////////////////////
//Currently this is a mess of rects.
//I'll take a saveframe and just image() that in.

String thisisaverylongvariable = "This is a title. Wowee. Yay."; //Pleasepleaseplease change this.

void setup() {
  size(600,800); //change the 800 to another screenheight, should adjust ok
  
  textFont(createFont("Roboto",24,true),24); //roboto because this will be for androids
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  fill(255,200); //Random color; real textures will be summoned later.
  
  rect(0,0,width-1,50); //titlebar / nav
  rect(0,50,width-1,(height-50)/2.5); //block categories
  rect(0,((height-50)/2.5)+50,width-1,500); //scripts
  rect(width-40,((height-50)/2.5)+50,40,500); //scripts scrollbar well
  
  rect(0,50,width/2,(height-50)/2.5); //pick-your-blocks area
  rect(width/2-40,50,40,(height-50)/2.5); //pick-your-blocks scroll well
  
  
  
  fill(0); //select a nice dark black color
  textAlign(CENTER,TOP);   //align the text
  //Now for the fun part, placeholder text!
  text(thisisaverylongvariable, width/2,3);
  text("Block selection",width/5,height/4);
  text("S\nc\nr\no\nl\nl",(width/2)-20,53);
  text("Categories!",3*(width/4),height/4);
  text("Build scripts!!",width/2,height/2);
  text("S\nc\nr\no\nll",width-15,height/2);
  //p.s. yes, i intentionally did samewidth
}

And for those of you non-coder types:

Well I'll need processing.org. It's pretty easy if you can program the pi.
