Title: Scratch
Post by: Natster-104 on January 25, 2015, 01:26:19 PM
Pretty sure most of you have heard of it, if not, it's a visual programming language, so again I had no idea where to put it, and I don't know whether there's an existing thread as well

http://scratch.mit.edu/ (http://scratch.mit.edu/)

Got a few projects of my own under way, in fact I have a test to create a good scratch game (10 hour assignment  :dead:)

Very similar to python code, so for newbies it's a good starting point

scratch is awful and is only good for comedy value

Errr... No, some people have made games with insane detail, have you used the operator, variable and add-on functions?

Plus I did say it was for newbies who want to get used to python, the functions are very simalar

If statements
When statements
Variables
DEF functions
Booleans (Actually called that in scratch)
Operating functions (when, +, -, *, /, or, and etc)
Waiting functions (different code in python, but heck)

The rest are visual elements, but bearing in mind visual elements make up 10% of all the coding in games

spectrum 128k basic has most of those, iirc ruby has some of those, and a few other programming languages have those iirc.

Well I'd be happy to volunteer to find out! :V

that scratch thing looks nifty and i kinda want to draw up some improved graphics in flash for one of these better made pokemon attempts

im sure you could make a basic and fun robot combat game in this thing though

id be glad to provide illustration

Me and KOS tried to make some demanfaku games or whatever they're called. Mine turned out to be terrible, his was pretty good.
