I found this program interesting. For some reason it reminds me of clip art that could be used for powerpoint presentations. By that I mean the simplicity of it and ease of use. I feel like it could be a precursor to something much easier to use with animation. I have no idea what kind of animation software that is out there, particularly free software, but I could imagine most of it is much more difficult to use. Maybe someday someone will improve the concept of Scratch and create a more advanced animation tool that is free. I do have to say that the Vimeo video is strange. And by strange I mean not good. All I am saying is that if this was trying to convince me to use the program, I probably would not at all. Maybe I’m not the target demographic.

I went ahead and solved that block maze for Thursday. It was pretty easy and simple to use as well. I don’t really understand the point of it. I guess the whole command thing is pretty interesting. I’m also guessing that this is how algorithms work on the internet. I have little to no clue what I am talking about here but I kind of get the whole “if this, then” idea and how you could create programs with it. I wish I was more technically oriented or intelligent enough to know how all of this works and use it to my advantage.
