Re: 3-D Scratch
There is another program like Scratch, also made by MIT. It is called StarLogo TNG.
It is a 3d engine.
A word of caution- it is still in Beta
P.S. Scratch's engine is not built for 3d

Duuuuddee ! I loooovvvee Game Engines , Especially 3d ones ! But StarLogo TNG needs a name and password . However If you want a cool game engine try Dim3 (google it).I created umpteen diffrent games and I have no knowledge of C++ or Java or BASIC !

Re: 3-D Scratch
If you're looking for a 3D game engine that is only a little more difficult to learn than scratch, you might want to check out version 2.0 of Alice (http://www.alice.org)

Re: 3-D Scratch
I achieved what you could call real time psuedo 3d in Scratch. (The ship after you have found the victim and initiated the rescue operation.)
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/AlveKatt/75081
It's basically just several layers of sprites. Every layer has different y placement values by one but the same rotation controls. So if the the top layer is placed at x=o y=2 the layer below is placed at x=0 y=1, the layer below that at x=0 y=0, the layer below that at x=0 y=-1 and so on.
All those sprites turning at the same time made things lag on my computer though, so I scrappped that. I have a feeling it will lag a bit anyway ones I have made new stuff for missions that are to follow. 3d graphics is just unnescesary bling if it removes from the gameplay like that...

Re: 3-D Scratch
Ask kevin_karplus about this. He'd be able to tell you wheteher it would work or not. But how would 3d be displayed? Would sprites farther back be smaller? Would sprites be able to turn in three dimensions? Anyway, the only way to make a 3d Scratch would be to entirely rework the Scratch engine, with a Z position. It wont happen soon.

Re: 3-D Scratch
Man, a 3-D game. That would be awsome, if my computer could handle it!

Improvement is dissasembling something and not putting it back together properly.
