And also bring in tutorials
It is just a fun idea
Hey there! Welcome to the forum!
Can you provide a little more information about your idea?
I think that the title is obvious but like how swift playgrounds is but way better
i personally do not understand the title - and i dont think heracc does too. so would you mind if thats not too much to simply rephrase and develop what you mean? thanks!
do you mean instead of block-based, text-based? like html or java? hopscotch is a kids coding app, so itâs kept simple so its easier to get into coding, but it could be cool to have a js version for hopscotch. then again, it wouldnât really fit the teams goal for hopscotch.
these are already in the app, you can find them in the âlearnâ tab!
Do you mean playable from app stores? If so, that would be really hard with seed requests. And that would mean a lot of copyright laws to pass, so thereâs that whole ordeal. I think hopscotch is fine the way it is for now. But good topic!
Hello!
Iâm going to assume you mean coding actual apps on the App Store based on your title. Which would be an awesome idea! This has actually been brought up in the past in a survey so this might one day become part of a special program.
So you are likely talking about an app i think?
Let me know if this helps!
Java script
Well basically a new app like âhopscotch javaâ
Or say, it could be an additional feature in the app
Personally I donât see a purpose in HS Java as I personally see more people learning other programs
Also the whole purpose of HS is for block based coding
I do think it would be interesting to have blocks that were just Java script code if thatâs what you mean but I think itâs too complex for a kids coding app.
Interesting idea though!
i agree, hopscotch was made to help kids with coding - adding this would alter thtâs goal
Well the reason why I suggested it is because there are other older kids that plan on having a game designer career possibly
i understand but hopscotch isnt really for that
That is a great thing! But there are tons of other programs that cater to those people specifically. Not trying to come down on you and make you think it was a bad idea ofc and maybe tht can think abt it!
yeah. i think that having line coding like Shadertoy will add a new layer of flexibility to the platform, as well as more new features that were previously impossible to do with block coding. Great idea! especially for increasing the hopscotch community age range.
Yes that is exactly what i am saying
How about this:
There could be another Hopscotch app revolving around text-based coding!
It could be called Hop[insert the coding language name here], or something like that?
oops yeah⌠BUMP!
i disagree, but tbh âHopTMLâ would be an amazing name
