sixteen items for Squeakland 2012 - item 9: ScratchConnect

9. Add Koji Yokokawa's ScratchConnect (game controls and game displays)
This will allow kids to create “game controllers” using Etoys Projects on one set of computers to control a “game display” (another Etoys or Scratch Project) on another computer.

Hi, I've been looking at ScratchConnect (http://www.squeaksource.com/ScratchConnect.html) and I think it would be cool if we can include it in the release. I think the code seems fine. Although it doesn't follow the Etoys pattern of adding methods directly to Player, I don't think this minor difference is important enough to fork it.

The other problem is the license, I haven't found any info about it yet. Should we ask the author about it?

Cheers,

Richo

I emailed to Koji-san several days ago asking him about the license, but have not heard back.

Not sure where that leaves us, but presumably we can't/shouldn't incorporate ScratchConnect into our 5.0 release unless/until we hear from him that the license is MIT.

Perhaps someone else, preferably someone Koji-san knows personally, might have another try at contacting him.

Thanks to Korakurider-san asking, it is now MIT:
