wakeupsilver Says:
Dec 23, 2007 - In a way I agree with you. Scratch isn't "easy" and it does take hours to design a beautiful piece of interactive media. I personally use Scratch to make interactive media. One reason is because I find it to be the easiest, relative to other options. The main reason is because I enjoy the process of using Scratch -- it's designed so that I can spend my time on the creative part, not on technical glitches. So in a way Scratch isn't easy, but I think it's elegant.

Mar 23, 2008 - Actually, After About 2 Or 3 Months Of Using Scratch, I Have Learned Many, Many, MANYYYYY Difrent Things About Making Games, Animations, And Adding Effects. Now, What I Was Saying Was That After About 2 Or 3 Months Its Get To Be Extemely Easy. It May Take A Long Time To Make A Good Sprite. But, Right Now.. I Can Make A Good Game In About 10 Min. I Have Actually Made A Guitar Hero III Game That Took Me About 30 Min, In That Time.. I Fixed ALL Of The Glitches.
