Scratch

If they know everything there is to know about using scratch to create something, and they have mastered the art of using scratch.
The opposite of a new scratcher who still is trying to figure out what the different blocks are good for.

A master scratcher can make programs in scratch that are at least as good as a hobbyist C++ programmer could make using C++. Nevermind if they have less of an understanding of "computer architecture"; They have an intuitive way to manipulate media and abstract mathematical concepts and program structures, and have an ability to focus on algorithms. A Master can often figure out either the simplest or the most efficient way to do something. If someone in the real world figured out a way to make real scratch blocks that were put together manually, they could build code faster than most other programmers could type it.

A Master Scratcher can debug about anything, and knows how to make aesthetically pleasing projects. Despite the seeming lack of some data structures, a Master Scratcher can often be extremely creative in making things.

Most importantly, a Master Scratcher lives by the essential 3 principles of Scratch: Imagine, Program, and Share.

I will try to achieve these goals someday, at least before I quit scratch and move onto C++

I am pretty good at scratching, I just dont get front paged because I use a computer which can never send data succesfully to the scratch website, to to do, I have to go to a friends house and get it from my email and such. I would say Im pretty good.
