If kids are illiterate then how would they read the text on the blocks?

You forgot? Kids that are illiterate can use the horizontal way of programming in scratch 3 because that uses icons. By the way, this idea is meant to be in S3

It would actually look better in Scratch 2.0 not 3.0, and I don't like Scratch 3.0's design. It looks like Windows 8.

What you saw is the BLOCK ENGINE of S3. Have you seen scratchblocks? It's a engine of the blocks. Don't be mean

I'm not being mean, and yes, that is the block engine of Scratch 3.0, but it is the block engine that will be used, and it looks like Windows 8. I don't like Windows 8.

You mean, metro? No beautiful style? Explain what you mean. And yes, I also kinda hate Windows 8…

You're welcome! Maybe the looks one could be a picture of a piece of clothing, and events could be a picture of a flag. Pen could be a picture of a pen.

That's good! I kinds planned the looks category to be an eye, but that makes more sense!

Motion: a guy running
Looks: picture of a piece of clothing
Sound: a speaker
Pen: a pen
Events: a flag
Control: a lever or switch
Sensing: an eye
Variables: a picture of a variable
Lists: a picture of a list
Operators: a calculator
More blocks: a plus sign?

I think the “Sensing” category should be an eye.
Here is a list of what the icons could be.

Motion: a guy running
Looks: picture of a piece of clothing
Sound: a speaker
Pen: a pen
Events: a flag
Control: a lever or switch
Sensing: an eye
Variables: a picture of a variable
Lists: a picture of a list
Operators: a calculator
More blocks: a plus sign?

(By the way Variables and Lists are different categories because I think they should be separate categories in Scratch 3.0. But if they just stay in the Data category, then Data could be binary code)

OK… i kinda planned the sensing thing to be a hand.

OK, but i think it's good to have the icons on by default, and can be turned off, mobile or not (It is a good idea to have icons so that mobiles will have bigger touch)

How would this be enabled/disabled? Through the editor or account settings?
