To test it on an iPad, dump this file into a the snap source, add changes.js to the HTML file, and then run this server:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

from twisted.web.server import Site
from twisted.web.static import File
from twisted.web.resource import Resource
from twisted.internet import reactor

import socket
IP = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())

root = Resource()

mstatic = File(raw_input("Input the directory where Snap! is located:\n>>> "))
root.putChild("snap",mstatic)

factory = Site(root)
reactor.listenTCP(8000, factory, interface=IP)
print "Connection successful. Open Safari on an iPad and go to:"
print IP+":8000/snap/snap.html"
reactor.run()

Is that just a static webserver to serve up a directory?

Yeah—a nice convenient way to test stuff on an iPad.

I was ill today, so I wrote a little JS tool to generate scratchblocks code straight from 2.0 projects. @Hardmath Thanks for mentioning corsproxy!

The 2.0 format is much cleaner. @n Have you written that JSON format for Snap! yet? 

If I still feel ill tomorrow, I'll get started on that Snap! web browser... 

EDIT: eh heh heh.

So was the rest of the community…

You're awesome.  Let us know when it's ready to put on the Snap! page.

Thanks! It'll probably be ready in a week or so. (I still don't know to handle multiple Arduinos, though).

This might be an interesting project to watch:
https://github.com/TsvetanUsunov/SNAP-OLinuXino

It's a Snap! extension for an embedded Linux board.

Looks like so far the project is just a readme... Maybe you should collaborate with the guy?  Or just point him at your code for one of the other devices?

(Or should I do that, since we don't know him and I'm an adult?)

Actually, it's going to be based on my code.    I just need to put up some documentation on how to make an extension.

Hey, can you program a robot to dig through the huge pile of paper on my desk and find all the income-tax-related ones?   

If they're all labeled with QR codes, why not? 

If anyone's willing to host a makeshift HTML on their dropbox, I can whip something up. Do you care about the source? Also, would you like me to try and compile everything with the SLeopard Python compiler (that was removed in Lion/ML for reasons unknown to mortals…), or are you ok with telling people to execute shell scripts/batch scripts?

I'd be happy to put snapin8r on GitHub for you (since I'm going to be adding it to Kurt at some point anyway...    )

You can use Github Pages for hosting, too. That's how I hosted the scratchblocks2 test page; it's essentially just a separate branch on GitHub.

Just distribute the source Python files (like the ones you sent me), and then it should work across platforms...

Umm, we want people who aren't software developers to be able to use it!

Oh, absolutely! But Python sources is much better than compiled pyc files... 

Darn, I was going to reverse engineer the source with Uncompyle but you used Python 3, didn't you?

Ok, great!

Alright. I'll also add an optional shell script for Unix and see if I can write a simple Batch script for Windows.

Should I use tkinter for a GUI, or are people ok with typing on a command-line? I really don't want tkinter, because it's iffy on Windows and I always found it rather glitchy on Mac (excessive flickering with askstring…).

Can someone test this neat trick I found for Windows? Add this to the top of a Python file:

@setlocal enabledelayedexpansion && python -x "%~f0" %* & exit /b !ERRORLEVEL!

and it should be double-clickable…
