How To Convert Scratch To Wii!!!!! IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Okay, this is kinda hard, so pay careful attention. You may want to bookmark this page in your browser.)
Using Jens' XML <a>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Jens/93504</a>, you can export sctripts into XML coding, which Flash uses. Import the XML into Flash after tweaking the script a bit (Wii Flash only uses the mouse motion, clicking, and enter.)  Then you can upload the Flash file to a website and then open the website with the Wii Opera Browser! There you go! A Wii game coded in Scratch!!

Re: How To Convert Scratch To Wii!!!!! IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Archmage is right. But look at this topic, it's a scratch>flash converter in alpha. So I guess this is possible...

Re: How To Convert Scratch To Wii!!!!! IT CAN BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How interesting, maxsteele2!

I have been redesigning the XML format in Chirp to work with Scratch 1.3 list- and variable-blocks (and to correctly distinguish between local and global variables), but I got doubts if this experimental feature should really be pursued any further, as I don't see any meaningful use of this. Your post makes me reconsider. I have no experience with Flash or Wii myself. Could you explain a little more in detail exactly how this works? Also, I'd be interested if there are any changes to the XML-format you'd be interested in to make the conversion easier.

Thanks!

yeah, but this is only for the internet channel...What would be cool is if they develop a homebrew app Scratch Emulator.

To be honest, what about things like right clicking, holding the mouse down, arrow keys, etc.?

Like archmage said, Flash uses actionscript not xml. This won't be possible, and the Scratch Team isn't trying to make it possible.

Do you have a Wii? Just point it at the screen and press the button

I don't have a Wii, so I don't know everything. But in my topic (you know what I'm talking about), it covers other stuff that I know is true. Here I'm just asking things, not saying they're impossible.

I think that for extensibility's sake, an xml format for entire scratch projects would be good. If we include your scratch script xml format into that, it will take care of half the battle for us. Optimising the format for this would be great.

I'd be a bit hard to do so. You can't really draw as well.Or type as well.But sounds cool.
