Description

The Scratch 2 file format is a ZIP file containing JSON data and sprites.

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Scratch_File_Format_(2.0)

It would be interesting to see if Scratch files could be simply converted to Pygame Zero projects (especially if we introduced paradigms in Pygame Zero to mirror those in Scratch, such as `async def` support).

Note that Scratch 3 is in development and will be launched at the beginning of 2019. This may well include a new file format.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Scratch 2 file-format reference and the Pygame Zero project structure. The issue does not identify implementation files, tests, an entry point, or acceptance criteria; a concrete converter scope and Scratch-version target would need to be defined before work can be considered done.
