Favorite part of scratch
Scratch has many wonderful features, but what's your favorite? Tell me and others in this topic, my favorite thing is the expeirence, I could program before I started scratch, but not very well, the expeirence scratch stopped me from being bored, and now, I can program a lot better!

Re: Favorite part of scratch
My favorite part of Scratch is the visual approach - using blocks brings clarity to many younger viewers who may not even have a good knowledge of typing yet! ;]

Re: Favorite part of scratch
I like the interactive nature of the programming—you can see the effect of changing a script right away and tweak it until it does just what you want.

Re: Favorite part of scratch
I like the community - the idea that there are people out there who will help others purely out of love-of-scratch.

I love how you never get a Syntax Error. If you don't know what I'm talking about, be thankful.

Re: Favorite part of scratch
I love how you don't have to spend hours adding '}'s and ';'s and rescripting again and again like you do on Java, and I like how you see immediately what you've made. I also like how you can see everyone else's projects and either copy their code, or just use them as inspiration. Overall...I LOVE SCRATCH!!!
Be nice, I'm an old lady

Re: Favorite part of scratch
I have to say that my favorite part of Scratch is that we have the right to share our thoughts and ideas. It really is pretty cool though, how many programs do you know that let kids share their comments and ideas?
