Coding Animation and Games with Scratch: A beginner’s guide for kids to creating animations, games and coding, using the Scratch computer language

by Sumita Mukherjee, ZAKO

In movies, whenever the scene involves a programmer, they are typing lots of stuff at such a high speed that their fingers are practically a blur. And the character does this for hours! It is easy to look at such scenes and wonder, “Do I really think that I can reach that level?” Well, in comes Scratch! Scratch is a unique programming language that is based on blocks – actual blocks. So no need to worry about creating pages of hand-typed code – all you will need to do is drag and drop. Cool, huh?

This book is a beginner’s guide to creating animations, games and coding, using the Scratch computer language. It includes step-by-step instructions for getting started with Scratch.
