This is really cool! I have a question: Why is Hopscotch, called Hopscotch in the first place?

That’s a good question! I think it might’ve been a way for girls to get into coding as many girls felt discouraged as it was mainly a male-dominated job. That’s what I think it was but I’m excited to see the actual answer if it’s different!

I also have a question: what was the team’s original goal for hopscotch?

i believe it was that as well, i was wondering if there were any other goals tho

the unavoidable and classic question: what is your greatest accomplishment youre most proud of during these 10 year?

what (new) block do you think has the greatest potential in hopscotch and why? you dont have to worry on the dev side, for example how much time will be spent on it - just pretend you can make that block appear with one keyboard click haha

and finally, if you could remove a block from the editor, what would it be?

congrats on 10 years!! thats really really awesome :D

Very interesting. I’ll set myself a little reminder. I’m subscribed to the Hopscotch: Creative Coding channel, so I’ll be notified of a livestream anyways, but I’ll add an extra reminder just in case.

As for the questions, I only have 2:

  • If you had to choose one project to showcase on your livestream, which one would you choose?
  • What would you change about the current design of Hopscotch, if any, and why?

According to the project loading screen,

“It’s called Hopscotch because, like the street game, you have to make it in order to play it.”

How did hopscotch start? What was the story of hopscotch’s creation?

Here is a question:
If the team had never thought of the name “HOPSCOTCH”,
What would the name of the app be now? [:

What are your favorite features?

What is your favorite Hopscotch character?

How did the Hopscotch editor look like when Hopscotch was still in beta?

What blocks were all added since Hopscotch was officially published and downloadable for others?

When did you start working on Hopscotch?

Will you still be adding more Hopscotch characters? (I would love to see a new one)

Has there been a feature that you have wanted to add to hopscotch but could not due to limitations with older devices, or would take too much time, or would require a bunch of work, or any other reason?

Here’re a few questions:
1) If the team had never thought of the name “HOPSCOTCH”,What would the name of the app be now?
2) It the app logo was supposed to be a character from hopscotch, which one would the team choose?
