Re: How did you find out about scratch?

Summer Class about how to make games. I learned from my teacher Mr. Forshaw (lforshaw) and now am better than him. Pretty much it. You've been scratching almost as long as I have! Wow, it was only a week after.

Re: How did you find out about scratch?

My mom told me about this programming class at the library. I wanted to take the class because I had never programmed before in my life. We learned Scratch, and after I took it, I fell in love with programming. Me and all the friends I made there surpassed the teachers.  http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6374/bigsmile.png *sigh* good times... we rickrolled the entire class without getting in trouble...http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6374/bigsmile.png


I'm graduating HS this April and going to college in the Fall.

Re: How did you find out about scratch?

It was in december 2007, it was a cold and peaceful night.. lol.
I was programming in BASIC and I tried to make games but they wasn't very good so I googled something about programming and games and I found scratch I downloaded it looked at the sample projects, just to see what things you were able to make, then I tried to make some simple things just to get familiar with the interface then I started to make some games and so, but until january 2008 I didn't know that you could publish your games online, so I made a game, uploaded it and then I looked at some other projects.
I used Scratch for a couple of months and then I started to program in python instead.
six months later I logged onto Scratch again and I downloaded the latest version and I was back on the road.

Re: How did you find out about scratch?

Anyway, I was at this party-type place, and I met a really annoying kid. Back then I was only programming in BASIC, and somehow we got into a discussion about who could program better. He said he had a program that he could make puzzle, action, etc. games with. I asked him for the URL, he told me, and the rest is history.  tongue
