Propane for us. Natural gas is just a bit too far away to get a connection.

That doesn’t seem like the union is unioning properly at all here.

Is there something going on that this article isn’t surfacing, or did UPS just buy the union bosses?

Just found the community.

Looks like it’s pretty slow.

Similar age, but Canadian. Grew up in the church, but took a tour through some evangelical circles in university. Really forced me to learn the faith.

Welcome brother.

Here’s hoping we can round up some more folks, and get some communication going. We seem to be painfully underrepresented on this platform.

Thanks for the suggesting.

She likes Roblox, but I haven’t check out the build tools at all.

And yeah…the monetization is…troubling.

Well, Reddit isn’t in my good books right now, but I hope they fight this fight hard, and I hope they win. Good Luck Reddit

You’re not alone on TotK. I’m still working on it too. Been taking my time to enjoy it, and the number of hours of gaming time isn’t what it once was.

Thanks so much for the reply. Yeah - learning together is definitely going to be part of the fun.

I’m not a professional coder, just some minor scripting for work and some very very old hobby coding.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply. I’ll have a chat with her about an IF project.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll do some reading on it. Never worked with Lua before. Maybe Dad gets to learn too!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply. I’ll do some reading on those.

QBasic - what a blast from the past! I also started on basic. My favorite was a “snake” game I had made.

That’s pretty cool. Definitely going to dig into that. I didn’t realize how well developed it was.

Thanks - I’ll check out Turtle. It’s come up in some of my reading.

Hello Everyone,

I’ve got a 10 year old daughter who loves making games in scratch, but she’s starting to run into that boundary where it stops working for you, and starts working against you.

She wants to make an adventure game in the vein of a trimmed down “legend of Zelda: link to the past”

I’ve looked at snap and gamefroot as potential next steps. Would consider a “true” language like JavaScript or python, but I’m worried she would be daunted if the ramp is too steep (maybe with the correct libraries/frameworks?) The immediate feedback and low ramp scratch offers are still important.

Anyone have any wisdom to share? Or point me to something I’ve missed?

Thanks

—- Update:

After some good discussion with my daughter, we’re going to try gamefroot (a proprietary, enhanced scratch) first.

She really wants to check out Gadot too.

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful comments and the help.
