Scratch is a programming language tailored for children, allowing even young kids to get started with computer programming and app development. Instead of traditional program source code, Scratch employs a set of predefined instructions that can be easily dragged and dropped onto the development area. These instructions, such as loops and control statements like "if" or "case," are used to organize the sequence of operations visually.
To enhance the ease of use, each group of commands in Scratch is color-coded. For example, commands related to movement are represented by blue, those for sound are in purple, and control-related commands are shown in orange.
Moreover, Scratch offers the flexibility of using variable parameters, which can be visualized in numeric format on the interface. Users can work with ready-made sprites provided by the application or create their own using the program's drawing window.
Although Scratch is primarily intended for creating small programs, it also showcases impressive projects on its website. This shows that, despite its simplicity, Scratch has the potential to be utilized in more advanced and complex programming tasks.
