  • However, since this topic was about comparing it with Scratch... let me re-emphasize that (for a kid or beginner), advancing from Scratch-like Programming to any Syntax based programming (like Python/C) would be far easier and relate-able, than jumping from C2 to a syntax based programming <-- simply because of the flow of programming structure. Don't get me wrong, C2 will definitely develop/boost algorithmic thinking, and so will Scratch.. but both have slightly different applications and learning outcomes.

    Well, yes. I have to agree with you. Scratch indeed prepares them better for syntax based programming. The question is what you'll want to teach to your students and what are the school's priorities? How do you find, does Scratch's interface inspire your students?

    Here's a leaked video of YoYos new visual scripting.

    That video is private.

  • The interface could be a problem. I teach 15-16 year old students and they still struggle with the interface sometimes. You'll have to try to see how it fits your daughter. What suggested about trying multiple visual programming environments is a good idea.

  • Hasan999 It's never too late to post your experiences about this. Thank you for sharing.

    You mentioned that C2 won't help the students learn classical troubleshooting skills. Did you try giving the students a game with broken visual code and ask them to identify the errors and fix them together?

    Using behaviors is a good example for how students can skip parts of developing a software, but it's also one of my students' favourite feature since they can set up something running in minutes and then we can build on something they can see and feel. If you want them to code the car behavior, you can still make them do it using events. What do you think?

  • Hi!

    I think your question is too general. Can you provide a bit more information? What aspects are you investigating of the topic? What kind of projects do you want to use C2 in?

  • No, you can't make any money with the free edition.

  • It loads just fine for me in the newest Opera on Windows 10.

  • Thanks for the info.

    Hey, I'm popular!

    Seriously though, what is the reason anyone would copy/paste posts? I mean, it's not hard to quote and agree to something if they really give a hoot.

    Bots, bots everywhere.

  • Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

    You're welcome, and I'm sorry for not thinking about the one digit percentages. It just slipped through my mind.

  • You might be looking for something like that:

    example_variable=0.2334

    Set text: left(example_variable*100,4)&"%"
