Scratch

please update, i would love this!

So what does this program allow us to do? Does it mean, for example, you could create a website, add the scratch project to the website, and be able to run the scratch project on the website, without scratch being downloaded on the person's computer?

It looks like my first post is unclear... OR people don't read long posts 

This tool alows you to selec a number of Scratch projects stored on your computer, and turn them into all files you need to burn a disc.

When you do, this disc will have the following features:

Automatic Autorun
Visual project-selection menu
Scratch projects open up in Presentation mode
When you hit ESC or press the grey arrow the project closes and you see the menu again

No Scratch installation is required to run this disc, so you can take them anywhere and show 

*** DiscScratchr 1.1 alpha released ***

I modified the first post. Please download and share your thoughts!

Nice update! Interesting use of justBasic -- I had given up on it for making actual programs because of the confusion over token files, but this has changed my mind. I found no problems with the new interface. Nice job!

Thanks fullmoon!

When you put the runtime enigine of JustBASIC (jbrun101.exe) in a folder together with the DLLs and SLLs I used, add the token file and rename jbrun101.exe to yourtokenname.exe everything works fine.

I modified jbrun101.exe with XN resource editor to change the icon.

What operating system were you using?

I hope JB succeeds the directory remove, if it does not, the program will get into an infite loop, continuesly trying to delete a direcory. (I wrote my own recursive deltree routine... Ugh)

To everyone, if you get an error window referring to error.log, please send me the log file. Also make sure to open the task manager, and terminate discscratchr.exe. If an error occurs the process is still running. and it takes up quite a lot of memory. (i once had 10 discscratchr.exe's and 5 menu.ewe's running, but that is not supposed to happen anymore...)

If your interested, feel free to add the same file to the package, removing some, adding again and see if it still works

I am thinking about downloading this program but have a question. Does the computer that will run the CD have to have Scratch downloaded onto it? Thanks!

Did you read the first post 
It has all the information in it.

The "user" of the disc does not needs Scratch downloaded onto his computer.

I tried your app discScratchr and i found that it only works on windows.
This is a big problem becuse I run a Mac.
So, can you make a mac compatible version?

I have bean looking into make a program like your disk scratcher and i wondered were you found the scratch resource files needed.

you might have to upgrade it now that Scratch 1.3 came out....

JSO

I know this is a silly question but using the scratch source program is there a way to make scratch automatically open a project and play it?

THANK YOU!!! I was looking for a way to share my large collection of projects for little kids to go onto the computer and enjoy!!! Thanks JSO your one of the best!!!

The following is the last entry in runtime error log..from last disc which was suppose to autoload.. some of these enteries i can understand but the vast majority i do not..
it might make some sense to someone..here..

computers that can't burn disks seem to have issues when put on to a disk.
