Thats my opinion. And also whi I dont do C++ too often. 

well most scripting languages are text based so get used to it!

I don't think you should be Loling at this. Your language has nothing to do with Scratch other than having similar methods. That's like me saying VB is like a newline-delimited C because it has data types.

you don't understand I am making a text based scratch like this:
[move 30 steps]
[if on edge bounce]
ect...
I will base certain parts (like variables) on PHP because I like the PHP syntax. 

but what about [set something to something]?
I understand perfectly, it's YOU who doesn't understand!

that will all be part of it. imagine every scratch block and then just image what you would type to show what the block looks like:
(boolean)
[Stack]
<reporter>
^hat^
________________________________
you see, just image every block but in text. as for variables something like this:
[var1=6]
(var1)

$variable = value

Like in PHP... That would probably better and more... "powerful" or flexibility in programming. It's something I don't like about Python, you can't define a variable in something like:

variable = key_down
pygame.variable

That would give you an error. But if you had:

$variable = key_down
pygame.$variable

Then python would understand that you want to use a variable and not just a word/phrase.

JavaScript does this too with its use of dictionary-like objects, i.e.
var myObject = {
Foo: "..."
};
var property = "Foo";
myObject[property] = "Bar"; //equivalent to myObject.Foo = "Bar";

Yeah you've all got it. Just scratch but with text not blocks!

I can not share stuff but I can tell you there has been made a Scratch-like environment entirely in Javascript and HTML5

Wink wink

JSO... I know what you are talking about... Design blocks and ModKit.

Design Blocks
and
ModKit

Design blocks is like scratch, but just pen blocks and advanced math operators I think. it is really hard. Modkit controls arduino and is quite helpful!

Alright, most text based lanuages suck in my opinion.

Python, PHP, C#, and JS dont. 

And also, a environment like that would be very rough to make, especially presentation mode.

tough luck bbbed! Most languages are text based! 

I know. Which is why I usually do a lot with Visual Basic and Python.
