Scratch is a really easy way for young kids to learn about programming,Scratch Homepage wrote:Create and share your own interactive stories, games, music and art.
how it works, and it shows clearly the building blocks of a program.
How to use it:
- just create/import objects/sprites
- click on an object or scene
- then drag and drop customisable controls and actions
- then run the project to test it
It's really easy to use, and can be used to create animations and games.
You can import images, audio, etc, or record/create your own...
This is used in some UK schools, to fend off boredom and teach
some programming skills that might otherwise seem complicated or boring.
Scratch requires Squeak.
Squeak is a VM type thing, and Scratch runs on top of it.
Here are the download, tested and working on Akita Linux beta 7.
It should also work on most if not all other recent pups.
