Hello, and have a warm welcome to Scratch!

We're glad to have you as part of the community! We know how being new to something is like being lost in a forest at first, so I'm here to provide some tips and tricks on how to get involved with the Scratch community, and get to know everyone!

• A good way to get started in the community would be posting a topic in the New Scratchers forum. That will help you recognize some members in the community, and possibly meet new friends who will help you! Your topic doesn't have to be a long biography, you keep keep it short if that's what your comfortable with the most.

• A simple way to get familiar to the program would be just experimenting with the project editor! It's a good and quick way to discover the features quickly on your own. Who knows - You might create a fascinating project along the way! Never hurts to play around with the program for a while.

• Another good way to get involved with the community would be posting on the forums often. Helping others, posting on discussion threads, reporting glitches to the Scratch Team, all that can help you get involved!

• Don't be shy to ask anyone if you need to ask a question. All of us will be happy to help a New Scratcher in need, and will definitely do the best we can to help. If you are looking for help currently, good places to check out would be the following forums below:
- Help With Scripts: Need help with your Scratch project? Ask here!
- Requests: Looking for something? Want to offer your skills to others?
- Questions About Scratch: Post general questions about Scratch here.

• Here are some more great threads that you can look at to learn more about how the Scratch website works.
“Guidelines for the New Scratchers Forum” by Paddle2See (I recommend reading this before posting a thread in this forum.)
“All about ranks” by chocolatepenguin
“An explanation of the ”New Scratcher“ status” by jvvg
“BBCode Help” by nXIII

Good luck, and have fun Scratchin'!

Also, if you're not new, and just here to check this topic out, you can suggest additions to this topic, it'd be great!

Nice help!

how do u see or play the progams

sanjayraj

Simple, just go to a page of projects and click on the project. You can't play it though, if you don't have the flash player though. Just install it, and click “Run this time.”

Hello!

My name is Cinnamon678.

I was formerly known as ‘cinnamonroll678’. ‘Cinnamonroll678’ may be used as an alternative name when referring to me.

I am older, so I am capable of creating complex projects.

I hope to make new friends and reunite with old ones!

I heard that Scratch can be used to make Android apps. Is that true? If so, how does one publish a Scratch program as an Android App?

It means that the project is a work in progress and not complete yet. It also telly the viewer that suddenly the project can go crazy or something like this, because it's being worked on it.
