Re: Thorn - scratch mod for the raspberry pi
The raspberry pi looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to get hold of one! It runs UNIX, doesn't it? So all you really need is the UNIX supported version of Scratch? http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Scratch_on_Linux

Re: Thorn - scratch mod for the raspberry pi
Scratch already runs on a Raspberry Pi. Check the following video (04:30-).

Just to save people some time, the part where it shows the Raspberry Pi and Scratch is at 5:00. 
Also, TRocket, you should link the website as well in your first post so people know what you are talking about, and if they don't, they can find out easily. ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/ )

yes but the idea of this mod is to have blocks for I/O and more features to make it easier for use in schools

Re: Thorn - scratch mod for the raspberry pi
This is a very interesting video! I'm still watching. As I'm currently studying Games Technology at University, this is especially interesting! I think I'm going to have to see about getting Panther working for raspberry pi.
I also totally agree, what we need is a version of Scratch that allows input through something like USB (scratchboard is an example) but also accepting more input such as detecting all keyboard keys, mouse presses, file interaction and suchlike.
