Making a scratch project into a stand alone appliaction

How do you make a scratch project into a stand alone application on a mac?  So it does not need scratch to run it, when you open it it does not go to the editor etc etc...  Can you do that on a mac??  If you can, how do you do it?  : )?

Re: Making a scratch project into a stand alone appliaction

There are some programs like Jens' Scratch2Exe that will do that, but I don't know if you can use an .exe. I don't have a Mac, so what do I know  roll

As far as I know, Jen's Scratch2Exe will only work on Windows computers.  I don't know of a solution for the Mac platform.

Re: Making a scratch project into a stand alone appliaction

You can download Scratch2Exe from http://chirp.scratchr.org However it is currently only useful for Scratch v. 1.2.1 compatible projects and will *not* work for v.1.3. projects until the updated source code comes out, which might take another while.

I may have dreamed this, but I seem to recall that it is possible to convert a Scratch project to a local Java applet.  Not quite the same as a stand-alone exe file, but effectively stand alone for computers with the Java JRE installed.

Dick Baldwin - Don't get stuck scratching. When you master Scratch, move on up to more serious programming languages. Free online programming tutorials:
Scratch - Alice - Java - C# - C++ - JavaScript - XML - Python - DSP

Re: Making a scratch project into a stand alone appliaction

Yes You Can!

make Scratch into a standalone on any computer!

Right column of the Scratch site with your program:
     click Embed and *copy* the applet script

paste in a simple html file
...save as *anyName*.html
...open with a browser or RealPlayer (which is nice for games!)

That's not a standalone application.

Re: Making a scratch project into a stand alone appliaction

Try this:
On a Windows, run the Chirp compiler.
Take the .image file that shows up in the folder
Transfer it to your mac via memory stick.
Open it with the Scratch application.
(This is untested and I am very unsure as to whether there is an image in the folder, but you never know, eh?)
UPDATE: Tested and no workingness

coolstuff...

Well technically no program stands alone...they all run on the os.

just giving a quick way to share games with friends when they don't do Scratch or if one doesn't have a website.

Liked your website...disappointed I always was HP in the quiz!
