#scratch coding game

[indigos-shits-and-giggles]

Anyways so guess who recovered his old Scratch account from almost six years ago, and IMMEDIATELY took that as an opportunity to program a fun dress up game with their fursona.

All the artwork, barring the background, was drawn by yours truly in Procreate. There's a lot of different shirt, pants, and outerwear options. Maybe in the future I'll draw a background myself, and add an option to change backgrounds, too!

Top 6 Reasons Why Scratch Coding is Best for Kids?

Everywhere you look, you will find yourself surrounded by digital technology. These technologies are swimming in an ocean of codes and programs. Children of this century are born into this ocean of programming language and learn to swim in it from a very young age. The introduction to this digital world usually starts with their fascination with video games, and they gradually learn to navigate various applications. The importance of teaching kids to learn computer programming and coding language has gained much prominence among parents, children, and educational institutions. Scratch for kids is the best coding language used by many to introduce a child into this world of coding.

Introduction to Scratch

MIT Media Lab and Playful Invention Company developed Scratch, which is now moderated worldwide by Scratch Foundation, a non-profit organization. They provide this visual block-based programming language for free to beginners who want to develop their coding skills in countries all over the world.

Since it uses a visual method for teaching kids coding, it is a fun way of learning that allows them to create their own games, animations, stories, or other ideas using computational thinking. Moreover, the block-based approach of Scratch coding helps to make learning simpler compared to other coding languages like python or Java. The code blocks resemble puzzle or lego pieces that need to fit appropriately for the program to work, and all a kid must do is drag and drop them.

Top 6 Reasons for Kids to Use Scratch Coding

If you are a kid, using Scratch is the best way to start your coding lessons, and here are a few reasons why:

1) Have Fun Interacting with Scratch:

If you want a coder's life, then Scratch is the best option to start the journey in a fun way that is also highly interactive. Scratch programming is an enjoyable way for kids to create their own games, stories, or animated characters by interacting with scratch characters called sprites. They can make these characters jump, run, sing and dance in real time with the interactive interface. Furthermore, MIT has developed a more straightforward form of Scratch called Scratch Jr, which allows kids to work on various scratch projects by creating their backgrounds and stories. Scratch Jr is available for use on android, Chromebook, and iOS.

2) Scratch Develop Problem-Solving Skills:

This program is the starting point for children to develop and enhance their problem-solving abilities as budding programmers. It uses visual aids to make kids understand the issue and uses problem-solving skills to get the results they want in the creations. Coding scratch programs requires breaking down a problem into smaller sections and then solving it to make it work. Scratch needs the kid to use basic mathematics to find a solution to problems. Moreover, it teaches and promotes using this skill set even in the real world when they face difficult situations.

3) Promote the Creation of Innovative Ideas from Scratch:

Promoting imagination is one of the key focus of the Scratch team, and the program encourages children to use their thinking skills to come up with new innovative ideas of creation. Kids can customize existing sprites or create one on their own. They also have the option to add media like music, graphics, and voices to them using simple programming syntax. This programming language is the perfect platform for a child to use their imaginative skills and easily produce what is there in their minds. The kid can create an entirely new scratch coding game using to program available on the Scratch website.

4) Scratch is Simple to Use and Grasp:

Scratch programming language is so simple and easy to grasp that kids of a very young age can use the program. They can develop coding games with an easy understanding of the fundamentals of coding blocks. The concept behind Scratch is to make learning coding language effortless for children without any sophisticated tutorials. This programming language requires kids to drag and drop the blocks to create a desirable action in the scratch project.

5) Better Planning and Logical Thinking with Scratch:

Logical thinking and planning are two crucial skill sets that you, as a kid, will improve with Scratch. For example, the ability to break down a problem into smaller segments and then create a plan to organize the lego-like code blocks better promotes an analytical thinking process. Scratch for kids, which involves a game development project, requires both these skill sets, and the child can improve them even for real-world projects.

6) Scratch is the Gateway to the World of Programming:

Many coding classes for kids start with Scratch as the starting point for budding coders. Academic institutions like primary and high schools have introduced Scratch as part of their computer science curriculum. The similarity of Scratch with other programming languages like javascript or python makes it an ideal gateway to the world of comprehensive programming. Children learn the importance and function of commands to understand more complicated coding in the future.

Summary

Using Scratch programming is one of the easiest ways for you as a kid to enter the ocean of coding. All that you require is a computer with an internet connection. Then, you can open the scratch website in your web browser and start your coding journey with the easiest of any visual block-based programming language you can find. The benefits of Scratch are many, and it helps a kid develop all of them with innovative learning methods.

I make games.

[amethyst-marshmallow]

What's up guys! I made a new game on Scratch:

Cat Collect Ultimate edition!!

It's a reboot of my older game, Cat Collect, which is a reboot of an even OLDER game, which is unnamed and isn't even on scratch

I really hope you enjoy it if you decide to check it out :3

shared your game multiple game dev discord servers I'm a part of and the reviews are glows far

Eeeeee!! I’m so glad, thank you for doing that! I’m so happy folks are liking it!

unironically indigo park encompasses everything i stand for in an indie game. or just a video game in general, even. don't @ me if you don't fw indigo park.

a bunch of work later and we've got a working crafting system yeehaw

one of the most jarring things online ot me still is this widespread notion amongst artists that artstyle theft is a real substantial thing and this idea of practically copyrighted ownership over certain concepts or design choices or styles and it really upsets me because i feel like so often i see artists accuse others of plagiarism when the plagiarized drawing in question was very obviously Not traced or of a different composition or just of a common general concept that anyone could have come up with Or Whatever number of differences, point being the drawing was clearly still a concerted individual effort on part of the accused plagiarist in question. the discussion is much more nuanced than just this alone and i do think in a lot of contexts copying art Does Happen and is absolutely intellectual property theft but i guess also i kind of hate the concept of intellectual property in the first place and this individualist approach to art that treats any & all creative works as if theyre penned in a vacuum in the ether isolated from any other piece of art & void of any human connection that has ever existed

they need to make a sorting game that has no time restraints or need to use a special item to pass a level lol

wym ovan is a cheater?

I mean it's not explicitly in the text but listen. Come the fuck on now. Do you really think Mr Interpol-affiliated grey hat, climbs-firewalls-for-fun-and-sport, intended-play-area-is-merely-a-suggestion has ever played a single game in anything approaching a "normal" way? CC Corp were having psychological breakdowns about Ovan's presence on the service even before he became a walking system integrity error and spent, what, several years giving CC Corp the runaround on their own platform.

Ovan is just so damn wilful and composed and perpetually invested in outwitting his circumstances that he'd get bored with a game that just tells him what to do, and doesn't really offer him options to figure out what he wants to do for himself. He is patient with things exactly to the point where his influence over them begins -- and if he can give things a shove to get them cascading, he absolutely will. The game he'd be playing in The World is the meta-game speedrunners play, where it's not a matter of what you can do in-game, it's a matter of what the game technically can't stop you from doing.

I think if Ovan did start playing The World for fun rather than simply using it as an entry point into investigating CC Corp's systems, he spent his early levels trying to sequence break every single quest and then very quickly jumped to glitchhunting and rumorchasing and escalating amounts of fucking around in the black box parts of the system. He already had access to the Creator Room by the time Aina started playing, and once she got deep into the lore of the game, it would have been pretty trivial to put his PC at the level cap with maxed out equipment so that she never had to stop to grind and could keep getting deeper into the game at her own pace.

Between watching this play though of this 90s point-and-click Sherlock Holmes game and thinking about the upcoming Beekeeper’s Picnic point-and-click Sherlock Holmes game, and after spending a solid month thinking about Hogan’s Heroes, I’m finding myself really wishing for a point-and-click Hogan’s Heroes game.

Do you guys ever have a story idea that's driven more by the medium it is told in rather than any actual story? I really want to make some sort of interactive webpage comic thingy someday..

New character from a game I started working on. His name is Norman, and he is very tism coded. I love him very much because he is basically me but even more of a hermit.
