Hi all!

Squeegie is my nickname.  I've had that moniker for over ten years now.  I learned about Scratch thanks to the Waterbear article on Slashdot.

I started using Scratch only a few days ago.  I've already built a few test projects.

I am now working on a project that involves typing text.  It's getting probably a little too complex.

A few things about me: I have always wanted to learn programming of some kind, Scratch is the first I have been really successful at, according to my own standards anyway.
I have my first child on the way, due in a few weeks.  I hope to be able to write a few educational games for her when she gets old enough to use a computer.

First off, Welcome to Scratch!  Your test projects seem good, and the typing text project shouldn't be to complex    !  Nothing is to complex for scratch.  (Well, a lot of things can be acommplished.  Not sure about that though  ).  Plus, when you start to get real good, you can use Mod's like Panther or BYOB to increase the complexity of your projects

Keep practicing Scratch and you will get better.  And like wulfmaster said, eventually you can use more complicated versions such as BYOB.  Have fun Scratching and if you need any help, search for some of my information Forums.
