It starts off slow, but gets quicker as less things are being proccesed, geuss.

Sorry 'bout that. To get it to run full speed all the way through you have to run it in presentation mode.
Would instancing that many sprites be possible on DS hardware?

Visible and hidden.
Well on the DS we do not hide them like you do in scratch... Most programmers shift them off screen when they are not needed. They can be created and deleted at will but I don't do it that way.

Re: Have your game ported to Nintendo DS by me.
I mainly use DSgamemaker which even thou it is a game maker it still requires a good knowledge of C. I can also program using notepad etc.
The language is C and I use the PALib and Devkitpro libraries.

I will have a go at porting this to the DS.
It will be on the bottom screen and you will use the stylus instead of the mouse.
Woo!
Can you put the score display on the top screen? I can supply extra graphics.

It is very easy to port a scratch program to another language if you know both languages, so it can't be that hard.

Um... how hard is it to make a scratch program into pascal then? Its bound to be very hard, since pascal is limited.

Re: Have your game ported to Nintendo DS by me.
Ah, pascal was my first programming language. Pascal isn't really well suited to making games but it can still do anything that scratch can. Generally, you can remake a scratch project in any language and it will probably run faster too. Just google some tutorials on making simple games and work your way up.
Hi, I am Archmage coder extraordinaire. I do Scratch,pascal,java,php,html, AS2 and AS3. Leave me a message if you want coding advice. Also check out my personal website, lots of good stuff about web development, Flash, and Scratch (v1 and v2) !

Really? ANYTHING? that would make sense, since all the commands in scratch are just simplified versions of the most common commands in other lamguages.

And this is how I do it.
The structure of Scratch blocks are just like the commands in C. Some blocks combine a lot of commands but I can work that out.

So you program it in C? No some fancy program that you devised and wrote to make scratch projects NDS's?
