scratch-vscode

Preview Scratch projects (.sb3) inside vscode - with live reload.

This is useful if you're writing code that generates Scratch code, and you want a quick feedback loop.

The code is a bit janky because I don't really know JS or TypeScript, and I took one of the vscode extension samples and hacked out everything I didn't think I needed.

Current Limitations

• Variable/List monitors are not yet supported.
• The "ask and wait" block doesn't work yet.
• No sound on music blocks (I need to figure out how to load the assets).

Planned Features

• Viewing the scratch blocks contained within a .sprite3 file.
• A way to log messages from a scratch project.
• Debugger integration? Being able to view variables at least, would be useful.

Installation

Grab the .vsix file from the releases page, then go to vscode -> Extensions -> ... -> Install from VSIX

Testing/Development

If you want to test/debug it, these steps should hopefully work:

git clone https://github.com/DavidBuchanan314/scratch-vscode
cd scratch-vscode
make install
npm run compile
[press F5 in vscode]

To build the installable .vsix file:

vsce package
