Java
Hey guys.. You might remember me.. long time ago I joined..
I left for a couple of reasons..
First of all, I moved on to create a game soley based on Java.
Just want to say thanks, for giving me the extra boost to create a game.
But.. you guys really need to focus on getting people educated about public voids, booleans and ints which are very important for java.
Anyways, I'm pretty much here to stur some things up and talk about Java games, visual C++ program and perhaps share your games here.

Yeah, I agree that most people here have no idea about most things in programming like variable types, methods, ect.
I also do java 
I know HTML , actionscript, PASCAL, and JAVA
You can find some of my flash games @ http://archmage-flash.newgrounds.com/
I plan on making more during the summer.

Re: Java
Hey Nick60, it's great to hear you are continuing learning more about programming!
You're right, there are a lot of things missing in Scratch that are in other programming languages like Java. A lot of those features are not in Scratch because we decided not to include them so the language would be easier for beginners.
Java also has hidden a lot of things. In Assembly language for example, you can control the content of the CPU's registers. Java encapsulates a lot of those details for you so it's easier and to use and more productive.
Java and Assembly are both great languages and are useful in different contexts. Scratch is useful in the context of getting beginners getting familiar with programming
Are there things that you feel Scratch helped you learned as you moved to Java?
