Maybe MIT could make something that is really advanced, like C# or C++ but it uses the Scratch Block interface. Like scratch is now, but with like, 1000 blocks to do ALL of the things that C++ can do, and export to exe and swf, stuff like that. That would be AWESOME.

Just learn a language that does what you need it to do.
This definitely wouldn't work because Flash and Squeak aren't low level. How can you make a low level programming language without making it in a low level programming language?

I don't mean exactly like C++, I mean something LIKE C++ that has 3D capabilities. And who says it needs to be in Squeak? Flash can do 3D, right?

If there is anything like this already, please post a link to it.

Scratch can do 3D. It just doesn't have any libraries for it and it's also really slow. Essentially you're asking for two things:
1. A 3D library for scratch.
2. A way to speed up scratch.

1) ???
2) Flash Player

1. What?
2. Flash is still really slow.

Actaully, the Squeak Smalltalk that Scratch is developed on, or I nickname "MIT Sqeak" is modified, and actaully REMOVED the Alice functions, so basically Alice is originally uncluded in Squeak.

Wrong.
Scratch was developed from nothing but Smalltalk libraries.

Different topic. He's talking about squeak, not scratch.

Alice is like Scratch, but it's in 3D. Discuss it here.

I would like to get it, but it's like 350MB. That'll take about 6 hours to download.

it tok me only 15 minites to download 

Yeah, Americans have internet for free and it reaches speeds of up to 50 megabytes per second, but usually it's about 2 megabyte per second. Here in SA we pay R200 - R2000 ($25 - $250) per month for internet that reaches speeds of up to 5 megabytes per second, but is usually 30 kilobytes per second, which is 0.03 megabytes per second. That's what I have, 20KBPS. Not that I'm complaining, I mean, internet is internet.

The only reason I'm complaining about it is that I can't download most things, like Alice, because they are too big.

Canada has to pay for a certain amount of downloading per month or something.

But we pay. And where did you hear 50 megabytes    I get 100KB downloading from Steam.

not nearly as advanced as scratch. i actually learned alice in a computer class, and i thought it was cool. Then i saw scratch... goodbye alice.

Same.

+1

"Americans have internet for free"

*facepalm*

We pay too...

Then I guess we have been lied to. 

I'll ask my dad if I can download Alice.

Who told you it was free for us???

Haha, we wish, but no, we have to fork out some cash monthly for Internet just like most everyone else.

I hope internet becomes free, just like watching TV is free, soon 

I've watched the tutorial, then deleted the app.
