Wait. So it's just that you'll get in trouble for going on a strange website? So if I understand correctly, couldn't you tell them what it is and then it would be fine?

They are a little overprotective for my age.

That doesn't really answer the question. If you told them “Oh, I'm on Javascript” or something like that, would it be okay?

Not sure. It's a bit risky trying, especially because the laptop I am using right now is actually my dad's.

Ah, I'm assuming because users of block-based languages tend to be contained within their own website or program (for example, on Scratch, all the reference materials and help are on the Scratch website), while text-based languages tend to have resources scattered across the web.

Snap! is just like a copy of Scratch. Pathetic

It originally started out as a modification of scratch, so it's to be expected.
However, they are very different still–Snap! has many features scratch does not, and (to a lesser extent) vice-versa.

It doesn't have such thing as comments. And I still like Scratch better.

You mean the social media aspect of Snap! (ie commenting on projects)? Because Snap! has comments for scripts (right click > add comment).

That's really a shame that your parents are overprotective. The majority of programming languages are text-based, and there are some great ones to learn.

If you're using Scratch, you must already have JavaScript installed as part of your browser. You can learn JavaScript from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript and run JavaScript directly from the browser console, or by creating your own HTML files and loading scripts.

In this case, learning Python shouldn't really be a problem, because the only website you would need is Python's official website (if you are OK with not sharing your projects with others).

Why don't you just ask them if you could use whatever text-based language you want to use? Of course, if you want to use a text-based language, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Has anyone read the title? I said block based, not JavaScript.

Well you said the reason for it being block-based is because your parents would get mad if you were doing text-based, so I'm trying to see if text-based would be possible since I already answered block-based with this. Plus JavaScript was an example.

The Wiki has a list of other block-based languages

i know this isnt block based, but how about roblox?

bump

this topic has no use, just like my posts
