Well, Reddit isn’t in my good books right now, but I hope they fight this fight hard, and I hope they win. Good Luck Reddit


Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll do some reading on it. Never worked with Lua before. Maybe Dad gets to learn too!


Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply. I’ll do some reading on those.

QBasic - what a blast from the past! I also started on basic. My favorite was a “snake” game I had made.


That’s pretty cool. Definitely going to dig into that. I didn’t realize how well developed it was.


Daughter Moving on from Scratch…what’s next
Hello Everyone, I’ve got a 10 year old daughter who loves making games in scratch, but she’s starting to run into that boundary where it stops working for you, and starts working against you. She wants to make an adventure game in the vein of a trimmed down “legend of Zelda: link to the past” I’ve looked at snap and gamefroot as potential next steps. Would consider a “true” language like JavaScript or python, but I’m worried she would be daunted if the ramp is too steep (maybe with the correct libraries/frameworks?) The immediate feedback and low ramp scratch offers are still important. Anyone have any wisdom to share? Or point me to something I’ve missed? Thanks —- Update: After some good discussion with my daughter, we’re going to try gamefroot (a proprietary, enhanced scratch) first. She really wants to check out Gadot too. Thanks everyone for the thoughtful comments and the help.
