The video attached is the scratch program that is provided for us to learn in class. Scratch is a new programming language (well, as new as 2006 can get). Created in the MIT lab, this program was created to give beginners the opportunity to program from a more simplified stand point. It’s meant to be a playful experiment to create interactive games and cartoons. From my experience working with Scratch, it really wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, but maybe I’m just missing something. I find it interesting that I haven’t seen or have heard about this program at all, but it seems very fascinating for someone who would be more interested in computer design or any type of animation.

However, I did do the “Blocky Maze” exercise was more successful. It really wasn’t that difficult to do. Just simple directing instructing to get the little orange guy across the maze.
