Re: How do I make a programming (code) language?
Do you mean in Scratch? What aspects do you not understand? Or do you know nothing about it whatsoever?

Well programming languages would involve the manipulation of string data.

Re: How do I make a programming (code) language?
the problem is no way can you make one if you have no idea what you want. do you want the user to create simple things or complex things? also, is there any need in using a simple programming software to create a simple programming software?
btw nice idea IF scratch would be advanced enough to handle enough code

It can, you can assign keywords etc to programming blocks, I'll try to do some now:
//iterative program to separate a line into individual words if <[words v] contains [if]?> if <(item (3 v) of [words v]) = (=)> set [mode v] to [equals] end if <(item (3 v) of [words v]) = (>)> //scratchblocks wont let this line go properly set [mode v] to [greaterthan]//etc end set [first value v] to (item [2 v] of [words v]) set [second value v] to (item [4 v] of [words v]) if <(mode) = (equals)> if <(first value) = (second value)> set [answer v] to (1) else set [answer v] to (0) //etc for the other functionsIf it was expanded this would allow a statement "if 5 > 3" and return true. It's just hard work
