This is the story of my 6-year journey making games in Scratch, a free game engine designed to teach kids the fundamentals of programming and computer science.

Scratch can take time to master, but it's perfect for people who are asking the question "How to learn how to program?" or "How to make video games".

  • I've noticed there's a surge of Scratch content on KZhead lately, and I'm all in for it. Scratch is an underrated but good programming language/game engine, I don't really use anything else for animation or games. The website certainly could be better, but as a program, it's probably the best thing we ever could get our hands on.

Only difference is, I was much older and didn't show any of my games to anyone. Just wanna say that it seems like you're on the right track, and to keep doing what you're doing. Subbed and can't wait for more!

  • I have been on Scratch for 5 years now, and I totally agree with you. Until roughly a year ago, I had a very high and annoying voice, which, in my opinion, made my already cringey games and animations even worse. But, for some reason, one of them is still one of my most viewed projects of all time (around 90 views). Looking back at my beginnings, I have learned a lot, and I have no fear of custom blocks! :D

  • I don't know why but scratch has been a comfort website of mine for many many years, yet i've never become better nor have I ever completed a project I was proud of. I often go back with some game idea and try my hardest at it for a couple of days (maybe even a few weeks) but eventually I reach a road block and just stress myself out. I've played your games before and they inspire me to make something too, no matter how bad... but man that mental block is brutal and I just cant push myself to be better. Anyways, the video just made me think of this and I just wanted to type it out for no particular reason. I'm working on a small point and click game now, and hopefully I actually reach a state of "finish" with this one.

  • I recently managed to make an actual 2D collision engine after almost *8 years* of Scratch. At that time, I had a tiny PC that would take 10 minutes to fully boot up. I had downloaded Scratch 2 desktop and made animations and games with it. And then, I discovered Scratch 3 and its community. I think it's amazing how far I've come (even though it's just a collision engine :D).

  • I loved Scratch! My peak Scratch years were 2014-2018. I first heard about it in 3rd grade in Muse magazine, I think. I remember waking up early every morning in the summer because I couldn’t wait to get on my Dad’s laptop and work on my games :-). I am now studying Computer Science and Engineering at Ohio State and I fully accredit that decision to Scratch. My favorite games I made were Epic Stray Cat World the Game and Bread Platformer. I also did a lot of MAPs and animation projects. It’s good to know Scratch is still thriving since I left :-D.

  • Hello just want to say a big fan. I have been doing programming for about 2 years now, and I have enjoyed it a lot. After learning Python I thought my career would definitely be as a programmer or an indie game developer, I always tried everything and I really had fun doing them. over the 2 years, I have tried more than many software both in programming and designing. Finally, I thought this was the way I chose as my career path. But recently I have lost my passion for programming, I don't know what to do, or when to do it. It's like I have lost the interest I had, I don't know why. It is leading me to give up programming for good. After watching so many videos like this and getting the message to "NOT GIVE UP", I'm still at a standstill. Not knowing what to do 😔

  • I've been debating making games on scratch. I've been doing game dev with other engines for a while so its not that i need the simplicity but more that i think it'd be cool to make for a community of people. Most of my games haven't been played outside of game jams they were made for, it could be a nice change of pace. The restrictions also sound like a fun challenge.
