Hmm... I'll try to get it working today. I've been having some problems with GitHub.
Done. It seems that I didn't actually make the repo.    It works now.

Ah.

I'm totally new to version controllers... how do I modify the repo? xD

Do you have a GH account? I think you need one. (I'm totally new to this as well.  )

Yeah, and  have the GitHub widows client and the Git Shell, so, uh... yeah, it's GraviPy.

Okay!

We aren't going to use scratch.py, since that allows communication with an open Scratch window, for example, to change a variable in a game from an external Python program.

I'm not sure what you mean. Why aren't we using scratch.py?

Scratch.py communicates directly with Scratch, for instance:

Open a Scratch project in the Scratch window.
Open a Python application that uses Scratch.py.
The Python program can trigger broadcasts and set variables in the open Scratch window.

I love the idea behind this project and what you're doing with it.

I just joined GH yesterday, so now I'm playing around with all the cool features...
That being said, your repo now has a star, and I may fork it sometime in the future. 

Thanks! I'm also quite new to GH, it's pretty cool from what I've seen.

@Gravitation How do I use your code?

For each sprite, append a Sprite class object to the Sprites variable
For each script, append a Script class object to the Scripts variable
For each block, append a Block class object to the Scripts variable
Make sure to set the class instance variables correctly
Do the run() method for each script for every frame
That's how it will work, hat blocks and broadcasting remain unimplemented.

Shouldn't each Script belong to a Sprite?

Hence the "owner" variable in each Script instance.

Then why the Scripts variable?

So that Scripts can modify their parent Sprite; the "owner" variable stores the index of the script's owner, and the Sprites variable is made global.
It's actually the Blocks that modify the sprite, now that I think about it. But still, programming outside of classes seems a bit less confusing to me 

So we need to implement Pygame now?

yeah. 

Awesome. Where do we start?

Well, since the eapdef file already contains Pygame and all it's necessities, all we need to do is write a rendering script. Here's my 2 cents:

from eapdef import *
FPS = 30 //max frame rate
pygame.init()
FPSCLOCK = pygame.time.Clock()
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((480, 360))
pygame.display.set_caption('Project Name Goes Here')
while True:
    DISPLAYSURF.fill((0, 0, 0))
    DISPLAYSURF.blit(stage.costumes[stage.ccos], (0, 0))
    for i in Sprites:
        DISPLAYSURF.blit(pygame.transform.rotate(i.costumes[i.ccos], 90+i.dir), (i.x+240, i.y+180)) //Because Scratch's coords are from center, and pygame's is from top left. Pygame's rotate function rotates counter-clockwise
    for i in Scripts:
        i.run()
    pygame.display.update()
    FPSCLOCK.tick(FPS)

Just some pseudocode, might work but it's just of the top of my head
