3D Scratch - New Mod
hi, I'm dreamod and I'm going to remake scratch in 3D using the squeak 3.1 beta image (http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/languages/smalltalk/st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.1beta/), which has 3d support. The user interface will be exactly like scratch with blocks, and everything except the stage and sprites are 3D. I am very excited about this project.

This is based off of Squeak 3.1 beta which is capable of 3D. I will add scratch elements to it and make it look like scratch.
Well is it like the Red/Blue 3D? is there any need of glasses?

No, 3D graphics with rotation, z, cameras and stuff like that.

This sounds awesome! You have my full support man!

That's going to be hard to do if your not a squeak pro.
1: I know squeak better than the back of my hand.
2: I already have the 3D implemented.
So don't worry.
Oh. Cool! Can't wait for it!

What do you mean by saying that you already have 3D implemented?

Re: 3D Scratch - New Mod
What it is really fundamental for having 3D in Scratch is having the right minimal set of blocks that would allow to get nice results with the maximum of simplcity. 3D Scratch has been discussed in Scratch Suggestions, the team always said that they where ready to add it, they just needed suggestions about which kind of blocks could manage 3D in a Scratch-like fashion. There are a lot of programming languages around allowing to manage 3D. It would be important to see how to reinterpret this in Scratch.

Right now, I'm busy getting the scratch gui to work with the squeakland 3D. I'm trying to mix scratch into this other squeak project which supports 3D. Then I'm going to start making blocks. When I'm done, it will be just like scratch except 3D, with exclusive blocks required for 3D. There is a camera, ground, and sky. You can also add 3D sprites by importing, drawing "pooh" objects (squeak calls them that), and importing 2D images as flat objects.

I'm eager to try it
