What is Scryft?

Scryft is a block-based game engine that’s meant to be the next step after Scratch.

It keeps the drag-and-drop coding style, but is being built to handle more advanced features and larger projects; basically for when Scratch starts to feel too limiting.

Right now, we’re still very early in development; we haven’t even created the editor yet. This is the ground-floor stage where everything is just starting.

Homepage: scryft.github.io
GitHub: github.com/scryft


Want to help?

I’m looking for people who want to help build Scryft from the ground up.

What you should know:
• Art Skills (for sprites) (optional)
• HTML
• JavaScript
• Some experience with Blockly is a big plus

How to join:
Reply with:
• your GitHub username
• Stuff you’ve made (projects, GitHub, demos, anything)
• What you’re good at (UI, coding, systems, sprites, etc.)
• If you’ve used block-based coding before (optional)


Work in Progress

Scryft is very early WIP.
Things will change a lot, and we’re still figuring everything out as we go.

Yeah, you can def do that, you can also make your own mascot for the site so we don’t infringe on anything.
Also, here’s a way to get the editor added: https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/get-started/get-the-code

Can I help with designing some of the sprites? It's OK if you say no.

Sure! I already made a reskin for cat 2 as a sprite, but you can make some! Make sure after you make the sprites you download them as svgs, fork the editor repo, and upload them to the assets folder!
