Translation to Java.

You should be able to translate your code to java so you can make real applications.

Re: Translation to Java.

What difference would it make that it's an application using Java or an application using, well, Java in a different way? You'd have to learn Java to actually do anything with your translated application, anyways, which would defeat the point of translating it altogether. Plus, Scratch is as "real" an application as anything else, it's just more limited. Translating it to Java would do nothing whatsoever.

Re: Translation to Java.

I kind of understand, but then you can put it onto cds and load it up on another computer without downloading scratch. Example: No Internet on a computer.

I sort of understand what you mean. But you would still need Java, which does not come pre-installed on most computers, which you need the internet to download, so you might as well just download Scratch and run it in Scratch instead because the Java conversion would have bugs and probably wouldn't be nearly as fast as Scratch.
