are you making an editor also?

widgets are things like text boxes, buttons, toolbars, etc...
yes we are also making an editor... soon

i know what widgets are, i code M30W 

why not come over, actually?
I've got saving/loading working perfectly, editing code is already working and it's super easy python 

I might do, but i would still like to write at least the execution engine in C++, because, in my opinion, python, being interpreted, seems to be more for writing scripts that use light maths, but not full programs like scratch. I'd say the same thing about writing scratch in Flash though...

It seems i like commas today

How about wxWidgets?

Hm... Trying to build on windows gives this error:

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.2/../../../libmingw32.a(main.o): In function `main':
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\src\mingwrt/../mingw/main.c:73: undefined reference to `WinMain@16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [itchy] Error 1

EDIT: Hm... All of my compiles are now giving this error.

There might be some tutorials on http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/. Did you set it up correctly?

I think we should replace the current cairo code for drawing the objects with new, OpenGL rendering code... if you have knowledge of GL please pull the branch #12_USE_WX and make some changes!

Hey, what ide are you guys using for this? Cause I was using notepad++, but I feel it's not complete.

Whoa! what just happened I merged into master but it merged two branches and removed the entire history! I think i fixed it by removing the source and replacing it witht he one from here

I'm using eclipse and I think someone is using NetBeans.

I'm using Code::Blocks.

I heard that Code::Blocks has wxWidgets compatability added in, but I'm going with Eclipse because I use that for java programming.

I just realized its going to be really hard to implement drag and drop in c++

its a piece of cake ..... hint hint

use threads! and the native OS libs

The native OS libraries are probably not appropriate here because they want behaviour not associated with the drag pasteboard which instead resembles the Scratch drag-and-drop interface (i.e. the blocks are moved around within the window with a drop shadow to indicate they have been picked up). They can probably just move the actual block stack's display object around while rendering it with a drop shadow.

True, i thought we are talking about dragging and dropping sprites from the OS :$ like we drag and drop images [ oh silly me ].

But i am reading this whole conversation , i am wondering have you guys ran a single multi sprite scratch project yet :? , i am wondering how are you going to handle the awesome multi-tasking capability scratch posses

That would actually be a really nice feature to have, too.

I think they can do it the same way Scratch does; it just loops through the current threads and executes them until they yield.

with smalltak and flash its easy , with c++ err i am worried a little.

dont you think they will need something like an event stack or something ? to make their life easier ?

probably libev ?  but its  Linux only :-( , so might as well just use libuv    , [[ dont think libuv is node.js, libuv is standalone awesome ]]
