Re: Scratch capable with 3D Games???

it can't make 3d games because it uses 2d sprites

You can make "fake" 3D games like the one in my signature.  So you might be able to fake the 3D for firefox.

or like the ones in my signature.  Both are slightly different 3D.

3d models are based on polygons, lots of polygons, scratch would lose a lot of it's simplisety if u had to rotate each view and do other stuff with the 3d, It would also take up a lot of kilobytes for each polygon

Re: Scratch capable with 3D Games???

In a way, yes. I've made a 3D projection engine which can make sprites look 3D and move around in 3D. It can also be used to make freely rotating 3D objects; I've made projects with a cube rotating in all the X, Y, and Z axes.

You could probably make a rail-shooter with that engine.
