Dida D205

Hi All!
We are going to teach a games creation unit for UK exam 'DIDA' to Y11 students.
The exam board say that scratch is acceptable to use, but then say that the final game must be in flash or HTML format - not as *.sb

When we visit this fantastic website the games are running and embedded in the pages. I assume that the games have been converted or there is a HTML plug-in to allow them to work.

so, my long-winded question is

Can the .sb files be converted to flash or anything else?
is there any software we can buy to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Dida D205

As far as I know there are no functional converters for Scratch to Flash or any other language.  Somebody started making a Flash player but it was far from complete, the last time I looked at it.  There are ways to bundle up a Scratch project so that it will run when you double-click on it, even on a computer that doesn't have Scratch installed on it (if that is of interest to you).

The way Scratch runs online on this website is that the Scratch Team has written a Java app that can interprete and run the Scratch project.  It works extremly well - but even it has some differences in the way it runs a project from how it runs in the Scratch development environment.
