A text-based interface for programming in Scratch

A text-based interface for Scratch programming

About

This is a work in progress for HGSE's T217 Spring 2020.

First Program

1. Visit http://scratchtext.brianyu.me/
2. Drag the when_flag_clicked() block from the Events section of the sidebar into the code editor. Your program should now look like:

when_flag_clicked() {

}

3. Drag the move(10) block from the Motion section of the sidebar into the code editor. Your program should now look like:

when_flag_clicked() {
    move(10)

}

4. Drag the think("Hmm....") block from the Looks section of the sidebar into the code editor. Your program should now look like:

when_flag_clicked() {
    move(10)
    think("Hmm...")

}

5. Replace the "Hmm..." text in the code editor with something other text (e.g. "Hello!"). Your program should now look like:

when_flag_clicked() {
    move(10)
    think("Hello!")

}

6. Click "Download Program" to download a file (called project.sb3) to your computer.
7. Visit http://scratch.mit.edu/create to visit Scratch's user interface.
8. From the File menu, choose Load from your computer and pick your project.sb3 file. When you're asking to "Replace contents of the current project?", choose OK.
9. You should now see your Scratch program loaded as blocks. Click the green flag to run the program, and your sprite should move and think "Hello!" (or whatever text you chose).
