Scratch

What can I do now

Am I still making this drop down menu keyboard thing?

I dont think so let me set it straight.


The ask block and other text inputs will call up a JavaScript prompt to enter text. This allows a system keyboard to be used. The exceptions to this are the arrows and space keys, which will have on screen buttons layed out like this:


This should allow most projects to be played.

I think the viewer should look like this:


The big box is the stage. The arrows are the arrow keys. Also the text box thing is any JScript code that is shown.

So you take a Scratch block
move |10| steps <- as a example

You then turn that into JScript code.

I'll leave you to it (GTG 10:15pm here)

Well, I haven't tested javascript prompts  on iOS yet. That will work though. I meant a text box but a prompt may be better. We will keep the arrow and space key things though.

jd1, nice mark up. I think the arrows and space should be much bigger. Is the lower box for project notes?

There should be another box for a keyboard stimluation!

Yeah, but only if you're on iOS. (You can do that with JavaScript.)

^Trust me. They can.

the websites not published 

I'll do JS for Pen, Motion, Variables and Control.
Do we want an execution engine like ScratchProcess (the one Scratch uses) or ScratchThread (the one the Java player uses)?

So do I in fact, it was a fast mark up done on Paint!

It could be. It was thinking it could be any JScript that needs to be shown, but project notes would work as well.
yep. i think that would be a great place for project notes.

iOS

Whats that?
iOS the the operating system that runs on the apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad.

Java Script prompts work on a DS and DSi Opera browser.It works on iOS, I justed tested it. We will use those for ask prompts.

We will keep the arrow and space key things though.

Good I hope we will, that should make most projects playable.
Deffinately most projects. Of course, it will also work with regular keyboard input. This is just for touch screen devices.


Sorry I can't keep talking, limited connection - sorry.

Also I hope that we can use the viewer for two things:
1.) Opening projects on your computer
2.) Entering a Scratch username and project number, and opening a project from the Scratch website.
[color="red"]Yep. Shouldn't be too hard, we can use php to read from the specified file, then find the .sb (which I know is hidden in there somewhere) and then decode it.[/red]

What do you think?

Okay. I will start reading the document now.
