code-like system
Hi,
Its been 3months since I started to play scratch. And Im very supprise that scratch is very easy to learn and fun. since it's a block system and its target are gradeschool pupil, im wondering if the scratch team could make it more code-like system, like u know, typing codes..
thanks

Re: code-like system
That, IMO, will be too hard for the age group Scratch is aimed at.

Re: code-like system
I agree that it kind of defeats the whole object of the usability of Scratch. However, I think that perhaps a tab which allows you to switch between code and interface or a combination of the two similar to the feature on Adobe Dreamweaver.

Re: code-like system
For people that are fluent with Scratch blocks, it might be a good idea to add a "tab", as the guy above me said, for code to get things done faster.
Example:
<when green flag clicked>
<change{ randomvariable }by( 1
could become:
) Flag
) change variable "randomvariable" by "1"
But still make the text code still easy to understand.
