Are they all available as tiles to be dragged and dropped? Or can I type it out too with a keyboard?

- Retr0id 4y agoThe former. If you want text, other languages are available. If you really want to use a keyboard, Tosh exists, effectively acting as an alternative front-end for Scratch https://tosh.blob.codes/ https://tosh.blob.codes/ If even using a keyboard is too much effort, I have a Python library for doing Scratch metaprogramming and code generation, with optional vscode integration: https://github.com/davidBuchanan314/boiga https://github.com/davidBuchanan314/boiga I've used it to write non-trivial Scratch programs, such as X25519 key exchange with ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/714773326/ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/714773326/
- Wowfunhappy 4y ago> If you really want to use a keyboard, Tosh exists, effectively acting as an alternative front-end for Scratch https://tosh.blob.codes/ https://tosh.blob.codes/ I really wish this was a bit more robust. I would like to use it as a bridge between Scratch and Python or Javascript, getting kids in the habit of typing things using syntax they are already intimately familiar with. But the project is just a bit too buggy. I've had variables randomly not appear, sounds not import, etc. This is in no way a criticism of the developer who created tosh as a passion project, it's just a lament. Tosh is so close to being a fantastic tool.
- varun_ch 4y agoNot anything officially supported, but there are some community tools to do that, tosh[0] and Scratch Addons'[1] "Insert blocks by name" addon comes to mind [0] https://tosh.blob.codes/ https://tosh.blob.codes/ [1] https://scratchaddons.com/ https://scratchaddons.com/ (It's a browser extension chalk full of little enhancements for Scratch)
