About scratchtext

scratchtext is a command-line tool for working with Scratch projects as text.
It compiles a readable .scratch source file into a Scratch .sb3 project, and
decompiles any .sb3 back into .scratch source plus its images and sounds.
You can drop your own PNG/JPG/SVG images into a folder and reference them as
sprites and backdrops. Every block round-trips losslessly, including all
built-in extensions (Pen, Music, Text to Speech) and custom TurboWarp
extensions.
