Scratch --> Java

I am in a phase in my very geeky mind where I take everything I see and try to turn it into a Java program. I thought that something as simple as Scratch wouldn't be too much of a challenge. Wrong. Some Scratch projects are kinda difficult, and I don't want to start coding something for hours only to find out that it's beyond my knowledge. So if you will, please provide me with some projects that would be relatively easy in Java. Thanks.

Re: Scratch --> Java

You mean just ideas for some games you can make?  What are you looking for?

Re: Scratch --> Java

Well, I've never seen an actual Sonic scrolling game on scratch, the only good Sonic game I remember is the Sonic Olympics game, so... try making the actual Sonic game (scrolling) if you can... That would be popular if it was good!

If that turns out to be too challenging, I suggest... hmmm... I can't think of anything right now


Check out my cool projects!

Re: Scratch --> Java

How good are you with programming in java? You will need to know OOP if you want to recreate most scratch projects. You could try making a simple guess the number game or a rock paper scissors game if you don't know OOP.

By OOP I assume you mean Object Oriented Programming. Yes, if you look down at my Signature then you will see that I am fluent in many object-oriented languages, and I also have an Instructables account (Google it, It's awesome! My account name is YummyPancakes.). I have a page bookmarked that has all of the Java AWT methods and commands. In fact, programming in Java is what I used to do in my spare time! (Now it's back to Scratch. Missed me?)

So, in 1 word or less,
Yes.

I'm not making projects on Scratch. I'm taking Scratch programs that already exist, and making .jars based on them.

and yes, that would be kinda hard...
