What I meant was a programming language for a TOTAL newbie who didn't know ANY programming whatsoever.

That's the point of Scratch. D:
Programming can't go too well unless you do ridiculous amounts of code to make it parse well.

Im working on an update to the shell. It is going to be able to run all the scripts you have set, and delete lines.

@bbbeb:
Great ideas on everything, but I feel that the syntax is a bit too confusing. It should be more apparent what everything does.
@juliabrookek:
Unless you want to use your time making an IDE for all of this, it'll have to stay in code, which is very user unfriendly.
I'm going to go sit awhile and think about a dynamic scalable language in Scratch to program apps in!

@Greatdane:
I meant programming commands, but REALLY simple like "Turn left" or "Go to right corner of screen"
And also commands for sprites, like if you click a button it says "Which sprite?" and if you type in, say, ant, you get an ant sprite.

@juliabrookek:
Now thinking about it, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have an IDE for it...

I've done this before, and it takes a long time. Definitely possible though, and you can usually get it to run pretty fast. I'd give dedicated help, but, coincidentally, I'm working on the next version of the previously noted project. I'll help you if you need it though.

working on variables. is it ok if i be the main programmer?
Offline
great!

I c what u did dere!
Making my own IDE, *whistle*
Not officially part of it, but great idea nevertheless.
Offline
anybody got any ideas for commands, features, or IDE stuff?
Offline
Mabye a command that said "choose sprite", that gave you anoher choice on which sprite. if you typed, say, ant, you would get an ant sprite. Then, if you typed before your next script, "Script for ant," then typed in the script, the ant sprite would follow the script.

Done. Unfortunately, everything you do is compiled, even variable setting.

Bump!!!

I know! I tried to make a command to hide and show the list of possible commands, and that was compiled too.

You can use code boxes ([code][/code]) or BBNesting ([b[b[/b]][/b].

Guys, it is possible that this will be incorporated into an os project. It will be an app developement kit, given as code with instructions to compile. It will make it like a language in an os within a language, within another os

Ok, we have the basic language and syntax. Now let's optimize it for interactivity. how about 'when key ( ) pressed' as a new command. It would ask what to do, and you would type a command.

I fixed compiler some compiler glitches. I'm about to add some things like (when key pressed), and (when sprite clicked)
