I like it. My son is very keen on Scratch (although he prefers Lua these days), but we picked up an Arduino kit last month, and I'm looking forward to playing with that.
His eyes kind of glazed over looking at the C code, as simple as it is for Arduino. I got the impression he was just happy to have dad perform magic tricks for him :-) Cheers, Steve On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 3:49 PM, Dethe Elza <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2011-06-15, at 3:42 PM, Dale Schumacher wrote: > >> On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 8:30 AM, Dethe Elza <[email protected]> wrote: >>> In fact, I'm interested enough in the block structure visualization that >>> I've been porting just the blocks, without the Scratch semantics and >>> runtime, to the web.
