Try the beta: https://mxmou.github.io/scratch-gui/tb3/
Important: opening existing Scratch projects in TB3 isn't supported yet. (But projects made using TB3 can be opened in Scratch.)

TB3 replaces Scratch's block area with a code editor based on tosh. Because it's a Scratch mod, it still includes many Scratch features that text-based languages typically don't have, such as a costume and sound editor. The syntax is mostly the same as in tosh (see the guide), but I changed a few things:

• Comments can be added using two slashes, like this: move 10 steps // this is a comment
  
• In custom block definitions, number and text inputs are now both written using round brackets.
  

Currently, TB3 supports all built-in blocks and the following extensions: Pen, Music, Video Sensing, Text to Speech, Translate, Makey Makey.

Very nice! I love the look

I've been waiting for someone to do this.

finally, my dream come true

… i can open scratch projects though?

btw i think you left over the scratch trademarks (cat, gobo, tera, giga, nano, pico)
please remove them to avoid legal issues

The code for importing them is incomplete – they can be opened but they might not work.

I'll remove them.

No,trademark ain't that,it should only be removed if it's likely to confuse people into thinking it's Scratch.

yeah, but with the similar layout that could still happen, also the ToS says:

5.4 The Scratch name, Scratch logo, Scratch Day logo, Scratch Cat, and Gobo are Trademarks owned by the Scratch Team. The MIT name and logo are Trademarks owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Unless you are licensed by Scratch under a specific licensing program or agreement, you may not use these logos to label, promote, or endorse any product or service. You may use the Scratch Logo to refer to the Scratch website and programming language.

In this case it's probably better to stay on the safe side and remove them to avoid copyright issues.

But isn't Scratch Cat trademarked but not copyrighted? It is licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0,but is also trademarked. So these characters were never copyrighted,just trademarked.

Thanks….

But technically,Scratch Cat's image,as shown on scratch is licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0,the support materials that represent Cat1 (Scratch Cat) is licensed under CC-BY-SA,you're wrong.

Even the terms of use (the one you brag about it every time) knows that the support materials are licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0,but it doesn't apply to trademarks….

Here it says product not scratch mods If you buy a product in the store and everyone thinks or is confused that it's Scratch Cat,that'll be sued by scratch foundation,this shouldn't apply to scratch mods despite TurboWarp removing them….

And by the subset,you're wrong….It isn't a subset,you can have a work that's in public domain but still trademarked,example of that is Mickey Mouse when he first appeared in 1928,he was now public domain since 2024 yet he was still trademarked. His copyright there is expired but trademarks never expire.

Most sprites are, but the section you quoted says “this does not apply to materials that are also trademarked by the Scratch Team”. The cat is trademarked.

I don't think the ST ever actually took action against community-made mods that included the trademarked sprites, but it's better to avoid any issues. TurboWarp removed these sprites too.

Even if we assume that's the case,the TOS is still a bit confusing cause you can share the trademarked material and claim it is CC-BY-SA 2.0 and others give it credit. Trademark are different from copyright. The copyright on Scratch Cat is non-existent basically cause of it not being published and being licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0,however it's also trademarked. Most characters are copyrighted because they were published and it automatically gave the copyright,the creators never bothered to give a CC-BY-SA license,even SEGA (who's actually lenient for non-commercial usage of it's products,especially sonic.) cause they claim it never existed or didn't bother to give it a copyleft license. If you wanna get them without permission,you must wait till it's public domain,which can be a long time especially if the creator in question didn't die or use it under fair use.

Update: Text to Speech, Translate, and Makey Makey blocks (prefixed with “makey makey:”) are now supported. You can also now add comments using two slashes, like this:
Comments aren't included in the generated Scratch code.

I've already removed Scratch Cat & friends from the library, so talking about their copyright status here is probably off-topic.

Update: fixed syntax highlighting being buggy after switching to the Costumes or Sounds tab and back to Code.

Still it's not off-topic……at least not in this forum…..

I like the idea, although I feel like the syntax could be improved. I think using curly brackets instead of ‘then’ and auto-indents (which are already implemented in loops) for both loops and hat blocks would be more useful, and helps as most modern programming languages use {curly brackets}.

I don't like curly brackets. If the code is indented correctly, it's equally easy to read with and without them, but they make it harder to write, especially on non-English keyboard layouts where they're written using a combination of keys.

There are many text-bases languages that compile to Scratch and others have made different design choices, so there a lot of options to choose from if you prefer a different syntax.
