Hello!  I'm Juliet and a new 'scratcher granny', trying to get sufficiently familiar with it to set my grandchildren off with a bang. (They are quite lazy and easily discouraged, so I thought I'd write some little games and show them how I did it, then they can modify and mess them about ... the modern equivalent of doing the 'Hello World" thing for each new language!)  I'm having great fun, but am already frustrated by a few things.  One is, I can't seem to make sprites 'undragable' while the scripts are running, so users can sabotage my first game completely!

Hi Juliet, and welcome to Scratch!

The solution to your problem is to switch into "Presentation Mode" by pressing the Presentation button above the stop all button, next to the green flag. The reason is that, outside of Presentation Mode, dragging is enabled to help with development. Inside Presentation Mode, you are given a preview of what your program will look like online, and dragging is optional, and off by default. To enable it, click the lock next to the sprite name, above the scripting area.

Hi, Im Ryan. I found this site through the Harvard Uni computer science itunes training. It looks fun so far and itll be fun to learn how to use it.

Hi everyone!  My name is Danny.  I'm brand new to Scratch, though not to life, being in the 'scratcher grandpa' demographic.     

I came here because I was trying to learn Stencil, and I could not figure it out at all.  I read that it was based on Scratch, so I decided to come here. 

I'm a writer, and not any kind of programmer, so this is the perfect language for me. 

This is my first project:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Altwinggames/2800461

It's just a bit of dialogue.

That took 9 hours.     And it lasts about 60 seconds.  It's a start.

Hello! I'm a new scratcher
