Processing is good. If you want to see what Processing can do, go to www.bendad.wikispaces.com/processing

Re: Whats a good programming language after scratch? for mac

I would recommend LibertyBasic,as it was built especially for new programers.Scratch is a powerful programming engine,but I think it was built to teach people the concepts(Variables,Sprites,Math Function,Etc.)and applications of programming.You might need to read some books to understand new languages,but after that,you'll find other languages give more freedom and flexibility than scratch.

Re: Whats a good programming language after scratch? for mac

i just LOVE LOVE LOVE programming in RPL... Reverse Polish Language, But this is ONLY used on The High End HP Calculators. It is VERY Intuitive and All the Different Objects Types make it easy to get things done...
i only Wish that there was an RPL for my iToaster.

Try Alice. It's the same concept, snapping blocks together, but it has 3-d graphics and a slightly different interface.

Re: Whats a good programming language after scratch? for mac

I started Alice in "Intro to Programming" today. Having already been introduced to programming, I can't say how easy it is for a beginner or a post-Scratcher to pick up but it's certainly fun and a better example of object-oriented programming than Scratch is. The obvious downside of using 3D sprites, though, is that it's much harder to design your own, although there's such an extensive library of Alice objects that I called my teacher over for help and discovered that I was using a "rabbit" rather than a "bunny". Give it a go!

You still go on scratch?


I'm shocked that no one suggested flash. Flash is simple, and there are almost no limits.

Also try Visual Basic, that's good.

Or, if you want to create your own runescape, try Java. lol, I think java is too much for someone younger than 12.

HTML and web programming is pretty simple. But if you want something sorta like scratch but more advanced, try Alice.

Flash is my overall favorite, may move completely to that in a year or so, but it COSTS OVER 700 BUCKS.

I once tried java. It's really complicated. Python is too, but its much simpler.

Re: Whats a good programming language after scratch? for mac

Try learning useful languages first, for one thing. Like HTML, then Javascript, PHP, etc. C++, several different forms of BASIC, you can try Java... right now I am in the process of learning more about JavaScript.

Try StarLogo. I am learning it. You can do things that would be very hard in scratch much easier. It is also 3-D.

I'm using Flash.  It is really easy, and there are many good books on how to use it.

Yes

What I did was download DOSbox (a dos VM), and then download qbasic and run it on top of DOSbox.
