Hello! I’m @Jojo, just to clear any confusion, I have an alternative account called @JojoDude. Welcome to the Forum, here’s a breakdown of the main stuff you want to know:

What is Hopscotch?

Hopscotch is a programming language developed by Hopscotch Technologies (THT), designed to allow beginner programmers to code simple projects like games and art! It’s simple and allows its users to drag and drop blocks to create code that can be played when the “play” button is pressed. It is called Hopscotch, because like the street game, you have to make it before you can play it!

You can code games, art and share them with your friends, family and the WHOLE Hopscotch community! You can even play other people’s projects to see what they made! It’s a great way to start learning to code some pretty great things and I can’t wait to see what you make!

Post your Hopscotch account name so I can see any of your previous projects.

Hopscotch Forum Language:

Bot: System
Chakin: Chicken
Gices: Gives
Fren: Friend
Frenpai = senpai and fren combined
Senpai= Inspiration/Person you look up to
Smol: Small
HF=Hopscotch Forum
THT= The Hopscotch Team
Thicks: Thank you
Hopscotchify: To hopscotchify is to make something that already exists in Hopscotch. For example, a game or some pixel art
Nip: No problem
And we like to use xD a lot

Trust Levels on The Hopscotch Forum:

@trust_level_0: The rank that you start with
@trust_level_1: Basic, it takes less than a day to achieve and you’ll get it in no time.
@trust_level_2: Member! Be active for a few days-weeks and you should be able to achieve this rank. You get some more replies and some more likes because liking other people’s posts is fun!
@trust_level_3: Regular! You need to be on for 50 days in less than 100 days, and read 20000 posts! Regular goes to good people who don’t get into arguments so try not to get involved if someone else gets into one, you could get flagged or suspended which will lower your chances of getting regular.
@trust_level_4: Only the Hopscotch Team can get this! It gives them moderation privledges so they can look after everyone.

Help!

There are a lot of places where you can get help from! Try checking out other new people’s topics, there could be some helpful info on there! You can also try looking at topics teaching you new things, like my topic:

http://forum.gethopscotch.com/t/the-newbies-guide-to-hopscotch/27169

You can also tag a whole bunch of people by using the Official Mass Tag List… or the OMTL for short.

To use the OMTL, tag as you normally would with an “@“ and then write OMTL.

Add yourself to it if you like but don’t abuse it or people will get really mad!

Tag me if you ever need any help!

Just tag me by putting “@” before my name “Jojo” (like this: @Jojo) and I’ll get a Notification saying that you need my help! I’ll come over as soon as possible to help you!

To practise tagging, try tagging discobot for me.

Epilogue:

Well, that’s all! Thanks for reading everything! Good luck and I hope you have a great time on the Forum and using Hopscotch.

If you want to chat with me specifically, feel free to check out my General Topic where you can talk with me about almost anything:

Welcome to the forum!
(Thank you @William04GamerA for recommending my topic! It is good one if you want to check it out!)

I hope you are starting to get used to the feel for the forum community!

The tagging thing mentioned above works for any forumer! (@Swati_Bang)
I will say, as a newcomer, start off by checking out posts made on “Latest” like a few of those to support them (you have a limited amount of likes) and reply on them! If you would like to focus in your attention, go to the “Categories” page, which is listed right next to the “Latest” page! if you want to look at hs bugs, click the hs bugs category on that page! That will direct you to all of the posts that have been tagged as hs bugs!

Don’t forget to tag me with any questions! :smile:
