Cleaning Out Scratch

Scratch can be a wonderful place, however I believe that we should be pressing down on these projects that are using no coding at all, speed draws are all right but there are some projects which are one backdrop with nothing, no animation nothing. These include Warrior Cat fan arts but also a lot of other stuff. I think we should be getting rid of these silly projects as they belong on art blogs and art sharing websites, not a beginner programming website.

With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.

Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.

Imagine, Program, Share

Scratch's focus is not on programming but on logical, creative thinking to solve problems using a set of tools and sharing it with the wider community. Scratch is not for people who want to learn programming but for those who want to learn why they are programming what they are programming.
Right - Scratch is about more than just programming. The Lifelong Kindergarten Group (part of the MIT Media Lab) that created Scratch is interested in enabling digital creativity - in many forms. So, while programming with Scratchblocks is one way to be creative, so is displaying art or creating a story through roleplaying comments.

Thanks for your suggestion - but we are not currently interested in limiting the kinds of creative activities that take place on Scratch.

Definitely no support. If this is what this suggestion means, you're basically saying that the Scratch Team should take down all art projects and animations. Most of my projects are art. And what if someone does not have access to an art website like DA?

Support. Scratch should be a programming site, not an art site.

Art is a huge area of any game.

It is. Scratch is a site that encourages creativity in many forms. We'd love it if everyone used the programming aspect, but we're not going to require it.
