VR scratch idea
so I have an idea and it needs to get pushed to the scratch team because it sounds amazing.
I made some concept art on my account, @ThePodcasterofdoom
Imma post it by 9:00 tonight
here are some of the pros of VR Scratch:
Immersive Learning Experience: VR Scratch provides users with an immersive environment where they can engage with coding concepts and projects in a 3D space, enhancing their overall learning experience.
Visual Creativity Enhancement: By leveraging virtual reality, Scratch users can explore new dimensions of visual creativity, experimenting with 3D designs, animations, and interactive elements within their coding projects.
Intuitive Interaction with Virtual Blocks: In VR Scratch, users interact with virtual blocks and programming elements naturally and intuitively, mimicking real-world interactions and making the coding process more accessible.
Real-time Feedback on Code Changes: As users make changes to their code in VR Scratch, they receive immediate visual feedback, allowing them to quickly iterate and debug their projects in real time.
Collaboration Opportunities for Coding Projects: VR Scratch facilitates collaborative coding sessions, enabling multiple users to work together on projects in the same virtual space, fostering teamwork and peer learning.
Accessibility for Diverse Learners: Virtual reality technology can make coding more accessible to diverse learners, including those with different learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds, by providing alternative modes of interaction and engagement.
Introduction to Future-Oriented Skills: By incorporating VR technology into the learning process, VR Scratch introduces users to future-oriented skills such as spatial computing, virtual collaboration, and immersive interface design.
Increased Engagement in Coding Activities: The immersive nature of VR Scratch enhances user engagement and motivation, making coding activities more compelling and enjoyable for learners of all ages.
Multi-sensory Learning Environment: VR Scratch engages multiple senses, including sight, sound, and touch, creating a rich and immersive learning environment that appeals to different learning modalities.
Innovative Teaching Tool for Educators: Educators can leverage VR Scratch as an innovative teaching tool to create interactive lessons, design virtual coding challenges, and engage students in hands-on learning experiences.
How could I get the scratch team to notice this?

VR Scratch is a good suggestion for scratch but unfortunately, ST rejected it https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/349590/?page=3#post-4149704

I see that, but would it hurt to try? This account suggests that it would be too complicated. however, if done correctly and keeping every– excuse my pun– variable — under close watch, it could have the ability to make 3d and VR game creation widely accessible to those who don't have the time to learn Java or Python.

(#4)To be fair, VR and a TI-84 are very different.I see that, but would it hurt to try?

so I have an idea

Wasn’t really your idea, was it?

car:cool:That is not related to this topic. Please stay on topic.
Edit: reporting topic to be closed. Also keep in mind to stay on topic and read the rejected suggestions list.

rejected; it still falls under VR; see bolded

2.7 Scratch editor for video game consoles
The Scratch Team does not have the resources to put a Scratch editor onto a video game console. This includes making a Scratch editor for Nintendo, Xbox, and Playstation consoles.
However, the ability to connect gaming controllers to a computer or tablet to use for Scratch is NOT rejected. You can discuss it on this topic.

1.7 3D ScratchBy the way, Podcasterofdoom, you can find the full list of suggestions that the Scratch Team have rejected here
A 3D Scratch interface, involving a z-axis in the project stage, could make it easier to create 3D projects. However, Scratch is a language that is designed to be as easy as possible for beginners to learn. The purpose of Scratch is to teach beginners basic programming concepts, which is best accomplished with a 2D interface. Adding a 3D interface could make Scratch more difficult to learn and teach. This suggestion also includes the possibility for virtual-reality “Scratch VR” features, where a lot of the same difficulties come up; for more information, see this post.
For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Beetle Blocks or CreatiCode. They are block-based programming languages similar to the Scratch editor, but with 3D features. There is another similar program to Scratch that contains block programming with 3D features, called Starlogo TNG.
