About this application
Scratch is a programming environment for making interactive stories, games, and animations. It uses visual blocks rather than typed code, letting users combine events, motion, looks, sound, variables, and control structures to define how characters and scenes behave.
The Linux application is suited to learning programming concepts through projects that can be run, revised, and shared with other Scratch users. It emphasizes creative construction with sprites, backdrops, scripts, and media assets, while remaining focused on the Scratch project format and its block-based model. Scratch is published by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab under the BSD-3-Clause license.
