How do I turn a .image file into a .app and .exe? Can you even do it on a mac?

I don't think you can.

You can't, but what you can do is put the Scratch .app or .exe in the same folder with only one image - your .image. When you run the .app or .exe, it will run the image.

If you get BYOB 2 you can package your project as an EXE with the scratch image file.

Or if you drag your image file into a Scratch.exe or Scratch.app

AFAIK the image can't be turned into an executable, actually the executable uses the image to run.

The executable is the virtual machine, the .image file is the OS (boot device)

when you click on squeak.exe(or .app) and it asks you for an image file, think of it as selecting a boot device.

You can't convert an OS to be standalone, you need both.

How do you make an executable that uses the image to run?

The Scratch .exe or .app should do fine. I'm not sure how it's coded so I can't tell you how to code your own executable to boot the image - try asking the Scratch Team.

Because the .app runs on the .image just copy Scratch.app and rename it, also renaming the .image and the .changes files to match so. This worked for my Peck.

But I did it on a Mac.
