Scratch

I don't quite know how to start this off epicly, so I'll just get straight to the point. As most of you know (we are in the advanced topics section...) Scratch is written in Squeak. My idea that I'm proposing is to rewrite Scratch entirely in Python, with some GUI tweaks as well. Now, forgive me if I'm being dumb, but I think that python in general has better syntax and is generally easier to write with, and it's also more widely used. This would encourage more people to create their own blocks and to share them online, or just keep them to their selves, rather than a few brainboxes in the community creating all the blocks.

More coming soon.

Cool! It sounds like fun! I took a Python class back in January, and it was fun!

I don't think Python by itself could make something like scratch.. would it be text or something?

It would use Tkinter to make the GUI. I think it is possible, but it would certainly take a long time!
