SKIP - a Python Scratch Interpreter based on Kurt.
Experimental.
Most of the 1.4 blocks are implemented, except for:
- text-related: "say", "ask", variable/list watchers
- sounds & instruments
- graphic effects other than "ghost"
SKIP requires Pygame for graphics.
With a proper python environment (one which has pip available), simply run:
$ pip install skip
Which will download SKIP and its dependencies.
Alternatively, download the compressed archive from PyPI, extract it, and inside it run:
$ python setup.py install
Run it from Terminal, passsing the path to a Scratch file:
$ python skip/pygame_screen.py game.sb
A graphics window will open showing the stage. You can type scripts into the terminal window to execute them while the project is running.
It also includes a simple console interface. Example usage:
$ python skip/console_screen.py
Ctrl+D or `;` to evaluate input
Extra commands: start, stop
=>Sprite1
-----
ask "What's your name?" and wait
say join "Hello, " join answer "!"
;
...
Sprite1 asks: What's your name?
? blob
Sprite1: say u'Hello, blob!'
-----
All of the graphics-related stuff is in a separate file, pygame_screen.py, so it should be possible to implement the interpreter for other graphics libraries (e.g. wxPython).
