Scratch: not just a cat

This week my class did further experimenting with the program Scratch. While this program seems to be used mainly for helping students learn about programming, I was surprised to see what Scratch could create in the right hands. My teacher showed my class a fully-functional galaga-type game created using Scratch, complete with decent graphics and excellent gameplay. I marveled at how Scratch was even capable to render this, and realized I underestimated the silly yellow cat.

Since I'm still learning the ropes around Scratch, I haven't been able to create any games with it, but I hope to in the future. Scratch really is a neat programming language, and the cool thing is, you don't have to worry about syntax!
