A million things to do with a computer!
summary
Scratch claims over thirteen million projects, uses block-based sentences instead of syntax, and ships extensions for Arduino, Twitter, and text-to-speech. It foregrounds low floors, wide walls, high ceilings: no syntax errors to start, multimedia and hardware to explore, and room to scale. Examples include a Scratch shunting-yard calculator and a Super Hexagon clone, plus open-sourcing the Flash codebase so the website, forking model, and community actually let people view, copy, and extend working projects.
