Re: Text-Based Scratch

MUST HAVE. I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU ALL 10 VOTES. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED SCRATCH TO HAVE THIS! (why didn't i think of suggesting this?)

Re: Text-Based Scratch

I don't think this willl happen. It will overcomplicate things for newer scratchers, because they would just waste they're time typing stuff in then get bored and give up. Also it would just be more simple to keep the blocks and the thing you described would just eat up time if you're a slow typer.

Ah, but no one is making you use it. This is a proposed addition, not a replacement for the block system. (And for the record, typing is actually a more efficient way to code than dragging blocks around.)

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Just for the interested, JSO has been developing a Javascript Block parser.

Basically, you type text versions of the code, click parse, and an image of the code made with css and js comes up.  tongue

Also, I think we should vote on some ideas of syntax. So the scratch team knows?

Hai.

I really love this idea because it would be great for transitioning between languages.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

They're is a text based version of Scratch called "M30W" or something like that which was written in Python 2.6. I tried to install it once but it was very complicated.

I think we should have both. But if you want a texed base program, try out flash.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

this isn't related exactly to this topic but you could try renaming a project from "project.sb" to "project.txt" and open it with notepad, it's fun!

Re: Text-Based Scratch

There could be a whole load of functions in text mode for advanced users so new scratchers wont get confused because they wont be in the block palletes and could show up in deep red obselete colour like say nothing wen in block mode and maybe it could be a bit secret so it wont confuse new scratchers but not as secret as mesh but maybe like compress sounds and compress images.

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Support!

Take the lag for dragging huge scripts!
Allow for easy copying and pasting!

Suggestion:
Maybe find a way to make "functions"?  This could be handled similar to BYOB.  And of course, if this is made in addition to the block interface it is kind of like a ladder for aspiring programmers.  Text is the way nearly all programs are written.  Add functions and the transition into more advanced language would be really smooth and programming on Scratch itself would be quicker too.

I also like the idea of (somehow) integrating Scratch with more powerful languages, if only for projects that need to crunch lots of numbers in short periods of time (3D renderers, chess, etc.)

It can get annoying sometimes to drag and drop everything--in fact, I could probably code twice as fast with a text-based interface!

Re: Text-Based Scratch

It should be like this:

Code:

sprite1.
[ask "2+2?"]
[if <(answer)=4>
     [say "Your right!"]
else
     [say "Your wrong!"]]

Re: Text-Based Scratch

Is this happening? It seems that all the elements for a text input window in scratch is almost self written as the blocks already have text on them.

Making a text editor with good and easy syntax checking would be a great way for kids to move to the next level of programming.
