Hi! This is to talk about programming languages outside of Scratch. Namely, Hopscotch! Hopscotch is a free programming language for iPad. Check out this pic I made! Sorry if does not work. I can't use pictures very well. Please help!

I don't have an iPad, so I can't do that.

Hrm. I wouldn't call this as much a “programming language” as a “toy”.

Should I make a project about it and/or a simulator?

Oh.
This.
Scratch on mobile.

It IS a programming language with accounts and everything! Not literally.

define lol[wut](secs)
say (join (wut) [ LOL]) for (secs) secs

lol [dis](pick random (1) to (10))

That doesn't make it a programming language, Javascript doesn't have accounts and is a language.

Well, for that matter, why is Scratch one?

My two cents is that it is a programming language, but it has showing cons when compared with Scratch.

cons:paid characters, can't log out, limited avatars, one lie is that emojis come from the long lost island of emoja but no
pros:coding language, custom blocks don't need define, emojis are useable

One other con in my opinion is the lack of an uploading feature. Yes, this is more or less in comparison to Scratch, but I think it would be nice to include an uploaded picture or snippet of audio in your program instead of sticking to the severely limited note blocks they provide (though this is slightly forgivable as it is aimed towards younger kids and it would prevent more inappropriate content from getting past).

For emojis coming from… Jokes can be made. I'm making a whole series about the characters looking for emoja.

My school has this on their iPads.
