what is scratch

Scratch is a programming software where you Imagine, Create, and Share!
Scratch uses blocks like these:

when green flag clicked
forever
move (10) steps
play sound [Meow v] until done
say [Hello World!] for (2) secs
end

////
Now the colors of the blocks here may not look the same, that's because these pages are still being updated to 3.0, aka the newer pages.

Trust me, you'll love Scratch.
Also here is my copy-and-paste line now;

Hi! Welcome to Scratch, know these few things:

Scratch is a website made for children 8 and older, but it is also used for ages 8 and younger, so make sure you think “Is this suitable for an 8-year-old?” before you post a project.

The forums are dead, with less than 1% of Scratchers using it, though, at any time, you can always come here and ask your questions in Questions about Scratch, get help with coding in Help with Script, suggest things in Suggestions, etc.

Lastly, the moderators take a while since they have other things to get to like Appeals, Emails, Topics (like the one you made (: ), Reports, etc.

Enjoy, and Scratch on! Also if you need help with anything, you can ask me :]

very quick response

You create programs on Scratch, it is a programming language.

Scratch is a programing language!

say [Welcome to scratch! (this will say something)]

Not many people use the forums, people mostly use the main site…

Many people say it in the forums, I'm not sure exactly.

Oh.

Scratch is a block-based coding language.

In most coding languages, making something say ‘Hi’ might look like this:

print (Hi)

But in Scratch, it looks like this:

when green flag clicked
say [Hi]

The blocks are shaped so it is clear what will work. For an example, take a look at these blocks:

(variable)
(() / (1))

From the shape, you can tell that this will work:

(((variable)) / (1))

Why would you create an account on a site that you don't know what it is?

a community, a social media platform,a programming platform.
