We have fantastic news to share! Hopscotch, your favorite kid’s coding app, is launching a brand-new web platform, which means you can now access Hopscotch on PCs, laptops, and Chromebooks—any device with a web browser!
You can explore the web version of Hopscotch today athopscotch.fun.
With our web platform, you’ll be able to:
Play games made by other users or challenge yourself to create your own.
Code projects using our brand-new coding editor, designed to make coding even more optimized for desktop screens. The UI has been updated to make coding on bigger devices feel smoother and more intuitive.
Coming Soon…
New Hopscotch Characters
Custom Rules/Blocks
Mobile-View Support
This is a big step for us in bringing the magic of coding to more creators around the world, and we can’t wait for you to try it! If you have any questions or feedback, we would love to hear from you. Send us an email at hello@gethopscotch.com.
Thank you for being part of our community, and as always, Happy Hopscotching!
I’m guessing this means we have to wait a bit longer to use custom rules / blocks… what would happen if we tried to edit a project that contains custom rules / blocks?
Thank you for reporting the bugs. I will note them down. Alternatively, you can also use the feedback button on the lower right corner of the screen. This button is connected to the Hopscotch Slack channel so our team gets real-time notifications for them.
User variables are not yet available on Hopscotch web. You can scroll to the end of Object, User, and Game variable sections to create those variables.
We’ve done image optimization on iOS, so it’s likely that iOS app compresses image size. Hopscotch.fun doesn’t do that right now, so it should upload a better quality.
You can try to use this time to upload bigger images/replace some of the images in your project before we get to image optimization - You didn’t hear it from me, haha!
They’re not external ads, but you will have to wait for 30 seconds for every 3 games you play if you’re a non-subscriber (the exact number of games/wait time could change). Purchasing a Play Pass or a subscription will get you our of this. This helps us to pay for storage and server bills. Eventually, we’d like to also pay/reward our creators for the games on Hopscotch again (similar to the seed developers).
