Please refine your answer. It's too ambiguous. How do you do everything with code?Please make it not so diffcult.

Programming was never meant to be simple, and Scratch actually words it in the least complicated way and even has things that other programming languages don't even have, like the Motion Blocks, such as “change x”.No sorry.I just find it diffuclt to actully use the code.Please refine your answer. It's too ambiguous. How do you do everything with code?Please make it not so diffcult.
If you're finding it complicated, use the “Help” (the “?” at the top of the editor) button and click on a block you don't understand.

In many cases the blocks correspond closely to the words. For example, let's suppose you want to move an apple across the screen, but only if a cat touches it. In Scratch blocks this would be the apple's script…
if <touching [cat v] ?> then
move (10) steps
end
which is almost the same as the words “if this apple is touching a cat then it should move 10 steps”

Code is not for everybody. You may be someone who can not use it.
Answer this question… What is code?

Ah, I wouldn't say that code is not for everyone or that only certain people can use it. I mean, 4 yr olds are on Scratch, so it can be learnt or at least used from a young age.How do you do everything with code?Please make it not so diffcult.
Code is not for everybody. You may be someone who can not use it.
Answer this question… What is code?
But it does require some effort on one's part to learn to use the blocks effectively to actually make programs that are interesting or fun, so I guess in some ways code is not for people who don't have the patience for this.
Again, it would be helpful if you clarified your question a little more. Do you have trouble with moving and connecting the blocks? Do you have trouble understanding what the blocks do? Do you have trouble understanding what the icons do?

By the way, a “link” is the “URL” you can see in the top of your browser bar. For example, when I look at the location bar of this tab:Post the link. Just my project
..I see that "https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/265012/?page=1#reply“ is the URL here.
Typing all of that URL by hand is annoying! That's why there's the ”copy“ and ”paste“ actions on your computer. If you don't already know how to use them – just right-click on the text you want to copy, for example the location bar, and click on ”copy“; then you can right click and select ”paste" to add the text you copied.
So when you want to add a link to your post, just copy the URL you want and paste it in the alert box:
Tada!
See how the URL began with "https://scratch.mit.edu/…"? If what you copied looks also began with that, you've got a link to somewhere on Scratch.
–––––––––––
All that said, you shouldn't post links to your projects where they don't fit. For example, if a bunch of people are talking about Scratch music projects in general, you probably shouldn't randomly post a link to a Scratch game!
Edit: formatting clarification

You don't even have to use the coding to be good at Scratch. You can learn how to use the Paint Editor here, and if you don't like it, you can find some good alternative options that you can download to your computer in the “Alternatives” section of the article I just linked you to. If you're good at music, you can even try to learn how to use the sound editor. This article gives a good explanation on the basics of the Sound Editor.
