There's also lots of other applications which use the block format, like Starlogo TNG and Stencyl.

Re: I think someone loves scratch's "block" idea!
MIT created an app designer for google and they based it on scratch. I read an article about this in the newspaper recently.

Re: I think someone loves scratch's "block" idea!
They did that a while ago, it was intended to be like Scratch.

Re: I think someone loves scratch's "block" idea!
Actually, in the about page (I think) they say it is based off Scratch from MIT.

It's not based off of it, but what it is based off of took inspiration from Scratch (and is distributed by an MIT program, interestingly enough):
From http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/moreinfo/:
The blocks editor uses the Open Blocks Java library for creating visual blocks programming languages. Open Blocks is distributed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Scheller Teacher Education Program and derives from thesis research by Ricarose Roque. We thank Eric Klopfer and Daniel Wendel of the Scheller Program for making Open Blocks available and for their help in working with it. Open Blocks visual programming is closely related to the Scratch programming language, a project of the MIT Media Laboratory's Lifelong Kindergarten Group.
Yawn.

Re: I think someone loves scratch's "block" idea!
It looks kind of like Scratch 0.1.

That would mean... we're BETTER than google! Whoo!
[long ramble]Actually, I used Scratch 0.1 once in 2007. I quit for 3 years until I rejoined in 2010, where everything had changed. Interesting fact-I discovered Scratch much earlier than most of you, if not all. There were around 50 users, and they could program better than Lightnin. My 8 year old brain nearly exploded. The account name is haloplayer.[/long ramble]
Error:Signature could not load. Please wait for an indefinite amount of time, until you realize you're gullible and go off to look for another potentially interesting signature to stare at.
