On this page, you’ll find information about open source projects created and maintained by the Scratch Team at MIT, as well as our thoughts on best practices for designing learning experiences for children. remove "at MIT"

Projects section

• Add "Scratch GUI", example: Scratch GUI Scratch GUI is a project for Scratch 3.0 editor, including the Sound Editor, Sprite Libraries and handling projects like saving. Scratch GUI is built using React and Redux, and can be used in other React projects. You can access the source code [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-gui on GitHub].

• Add "Scratch VM", example: Scratch VM Scratch VM parses and executes Scratch 3.0 projects, using the latest JavaScript technologies. It also handles new type of blocks called "extensions", including peripheral supports. You can access the source code [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-vm on GitHub].

• Add "Other", example: Others There are some other open-source projects that you might be interested in: Scratch Desktop, a downloadable version of Scratch 3.0 for Windows and macOS Scratch Link, an application that connects Scratch 3.0 and peripherals Scratch Render, a WebGL-based Scratch 3.0 rendering engine Scratch Paint, a React component for editing vector and bitmap images used in the editor

• Changes to "Scratch Blocks":

  Scratch Blocks Scratch Blocks is a new development project for the next generation of graphical programming blocks, based on a collaboration between Google and MIT’s Scratch Team — building on Google’s Blockly technology and informed by the Scratch Team’s expertise in developing creative learning tools for young people. Scratch Blocks will provide a framework for building programming blocks in both vertical (text-based) and horizontal (icon-based) formats. You can access the code (currently as a developer-preview) and documentation here.

Should be changed to:

Scratch Blocks will provide a framework for building programming blocks in vertical (text-based) format. You can access the code and documentation here.

This first release includes code for Scratch’s Horizontal Grammar. Looking ahead, we plan to release additional code including but not limited to the Vertical Grammar (currently used by Scratch), a new Rendering Engine to support sprites and graphic effects, and a new Audio Engine to support creation with sound and music.

Should be changed to:

This contains code for Scratch's Vertical Grammar. Horizontal Grammars are not actively maintained.

@Apple502j Wow, that's a lot, a few questions though: 1: What is horizantal vs. vertical block grammar? 2: Also, are sprites and audio rendering going to be added into scratch blocks if this gets implemented? 3: Will the scratchblocks style be updated the the 3.0 look like the scratch wiki has? 4: Is the scratch team no longer located at MIT? Thanks- --Explosion--

[apple502j]

1: They originally were going to add "horizontal/ScratchJr-ish" block grammer. Current one is "vertical" grammer. 2: They won't: instead they're now in scratch-render and scratch-audio 3: This is offtopic 4: Yes. https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/343760/

Okay! Thank you! Also, for number 3, I didn't read it properly, I though that you were talking about an update to the scratchblovks used in the forum, my apologies. Thanks for your help!
