Scratch

Recently I was at an Aurdino night at the Hackerspace (Perth Artifactory) and was shown "S4A" or "scratch for(4) Aurdino" Which is based on scratch.

Now my quistions to the scratch team.

1.Do you support S4A?

2.Your general view.

3.Will scratch wonday merge a bit towards it?

4. And finnaly, Like S4A can scratch interact with LEDS,Buzzers,etc. Through GPIO (General Purpose input output)?

Thank You

cool

KEEP SCRATCHING!

These are some very interesting questions. I look forward to the ST's answer. smile

Hi! We don't support it - it's a remix of Scratch though - and we think it's cool! However, the name is less than ideal, so we may have to talk with them about that.

(We want to make sure that only things that we've directly created, or been closely involved with, use the name 'Scratch.' This is to avoid confusion about what is "officially" made by us, and what is a remix made by others.)

If you don't like the name that they use, just sue them for copyright reasons! big_smile

Is this unrelated, then?

Edit: interesting... the program seems to be called S4A, rather than Scratch 4 Arduino.

Thanks Lightnin! I shall be staying on normal scratch (By you!) for the time being. Partly because I have a raspberry Pi Computer that runs scratch. Not an Arduino.

Oh, by the way Can scratch use the GPIO pins? Dad said he'd give me an ipod If I could make a music player (MP3-ish) program that has switches and diodes that react with the program. If scratch can't do that I have to use Python! sad And I barely understand it. Please help.

I mainly ask because you can do it with S4A though and dad says that you acn do it with (REAL) scratch but im not so sure... Please help
