DesignBlocks

WOW. This is pretty much like Scratch 2.0 beta. It runs online, is in flash, and has CAMERA BLOCKS. EPIC WIN.  big_smile

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Here's the link: http://designblocks.net/

Re: DesignBlocks

That is basicly flash scratch.

"DesignBlocks is a drag-and-drop programming language based on Scratch, TurtleArt and Processing."

Wow, very cool  smile  In some ways it's a lot better than Scratch (but there are so many disadvantages to using it, only 1 sprite!) I made an account a whipped up something pretty quickly (~3 minutes) http://www.designblocks.net/demosthenes

I like Scratch better.  hmm

The interface in this is pretty bad.

Re: DesignBlocks

I created a paint program. http://www.designblocks.net/what-the That took an hour and it's not finished. It needs more blocks and a copy past feature but this is still good.

Re: DesignBlocks

I don't like it because all you do is make designs.

Game programming pl0x.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

No.

Re: DesignBlocks

Hi Guys!

This is Evelyn from the Scratch Team.  I just wanted to clarify that we are indeed making DesignBlocks as a side project to explore web-based technologies and a Scratch-like variant to the Processing programming language for artists (http://www.processing.org).

DesignBlocks is not Scratch 2.0, but perhaps some of the ideas will help us think about the future of Scratch.

I'm happy to hear your feedback so far, it's very useful.
Perhaps I will post future versions of DesignBlocks here in case you'd like to play with them.

Sorry, there are no forums or support pages. If you have questions I can try to answer them here when I have time.

Scratch On!  big_smile
