Creating a @scratch Connect-4 bot is not that much different from Chess. A lot smaller in code size, but it has its own challenges. What makes a winning strategy, what is a good piece structure on the way there? Having a fast algorithm helps, too. scratch.mit.edu/projects/11147…

135,000,000 Scratchers 500,000 projects created daily 1 billionth project created! Have we told you lately that you're amazing? You made 2024 an incredible year. Help keep Scratch free for kids worldwide so they can keep creating what they imagine: ow.ly/U93l50U36RK

I'm looking forward to the annual @scratch conference on July 24! Join us (online) to share and learn with educators from around the world! events.ringcentral.com/events/scratch…

I was not sure whether it would be possible, but after a week of nightly coding I just published the NNUE (efficiently updatable neural network) version of Game of Kings @scratch Chess at: turbowarp.org/1033379869

I received this board from a fellow chess engine programmer, who was curious whether this could be solved on @scratch. And it could! Forced checkmate in 15 plies, found in 0.11 seconds (turbowarp.org/148769358, FEN: rn3rk1/pbppq1pp/1p2pb2/4N2Q/3PN3/3B4/PPP2PPP/R3K2R w KQ)

Happy #EarthDay! We're celebrating by inviting Scratchers to create projects related to the Earth and environmental protection: from recycling to environmental clean-up and beyond! Join us in the Earth Day studio! 🌎 scratch.mit.edu/studios/348985…

The youngsters wanted to know how the WWW looked like in its beginning, so I created "The Early Web" on @Scratch: scratch.mit.edu/projects/93050…

Had so much fun building and presenting our "Creative with AI" installation at @ArsElectronica festival 2023. Kids, parents, and educators could discover AI by inventing and illustrating their own stories. Read more at linkedin.com/pulse/creative… @CoderDojoLinz @Dynatrace

I am looking forward to today's @CoderDojoLinz. Together with the kids, I am going to explore a little bit of TypeScript, CSS, and React to let the sun come out 🌤️ stackblitz.com/edit/sun-and-c…

Evelyn Berezin, born in 1925 to Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire, created the first computer-based word processor. Incredible achievement, and a fascinating story: youtube.com/watch?v=tb-v65…

Our Engineering Headquarters once again hosted @CoderDojo Linz, a club for kids who want to learn programming in a fun way. #Dynatracers volunteered as mentors, helping the kids create their first websites, games, and apps. 🚀 #stem

Bringing the terminal to the Scratch world, helping Scratchers to take the next learning step - it's the Scratch Linux Shell (kudos to James Adams for the original project): scratch.mit.edu/projects/67340…

Fancy a 3D Tutorial for @scratch? Then this YouTube video is for you - Episode 1 of Crazy Simple Raycasting 🎮 How to make awesome 3d games in Scratch youtu.be/M1c5TcdITVs by griffpatch - Scratch On Guys!

Just created a @scratch game for tomorrow's @CoderDojoLinz. I haven't done Scratch for a while and forgot how much fun it is to code there 😺, love it 🤩. I hope many kids visit my workshop tomorrow.

Every 8-bit system needs a "Bad Apple" demo, and so does @Scratch! Based on the work of three Scratchers, using quadtree-based diff-encoding, this Bad Apple animation runs at full resolution and speed (21fps). scratch.mit.edu/projects/63340…
