No. Scratch for consoles is rejected. Even if it wasn't, the DS, DSi, and even the 3DS/N3DS are all far too weak to run Scratch 3.

I think he means with the web browser, but the second point, I'm with you!

I support this idea it would be really cool to have xbox or usb support added to scratch, but as in scratch being a programming language to beginners like so it would have to be limited to scratchers like how they did it with cloud variables

when green flag clicked
say [I support this idea] for (2) secs
think [Time to disappear and never talk about this topic again]

Is the MakeyMakey limited to new scratchers? No. Why should this be?

Support. Not only would this be really easy for Scratch Team to import, it would be really hepful.

I don't mean scratch ON the DS, I mean plugging my DS INTO the computer to use as a controller.

Oh, I see. You can do that using a hacked 3DS, but your mileage will vary. The DS and DSi? No, unfortunately.

Is adding a “controller to keyboard” button to Scratch part of this suggestion? (Like the one in a popular extension)

I wonder what this thread is about.
I mean, are the controllers capable of being compatible with Scratch?

think Spelunky. made for Xbox 360, but works with an Xbox one controller on a pc

Why would you quote and respond to this if you have no idea?

Why would you go out of your way to quote and ask me about it?

But what would it look like for using Nintendo Switch joycons? How would they connect?

Using a third-party solution like xJoy or Betterjoy or something. Joy-cons aren't really designed to connect to the PC, so that wouldn't really be ST's concern.

Support! Looks cool.

There should be Xbox and PlayStation controller extensions, like

when green flag clicked
forever
if <key [a or x v] pressed?> then
repeat (10)
change y by (jump)
end
repeat (10)
change y by (0 - jump)
end
end
end

No. This will likely be as generic as possible, to avoid confusion. It will likely follow the standard Xbox button layout and scheming. To see what button maps to what, there could be an internal joypad tester/mapper, or you could use a third-party tool.

Support! This would be an amazing feature! Just imagine all of the new possibilities!

Support, I guess it would be useful for some games

But what if your controller was connected via Bluetooth? Would you have to have more software to run it (USB/Bluetooth), like how you do with micro:bit or LEGO Mindstorms?
