As the Hour Of Code quickly approaches, it was great to start coding this week. A long time ago when I was in middle school, I learned how to write BASIC programs, but I have since forgotten how to do so. It's been a while since I've used Scratch. I used it when it first came out about 12 years ago, but haven't really gotten back to it since. I'm glad to see new updates to the program.
The Google CS First would be great to use with students. I liked the pace of the tutorials, easy for students to follow, and guides them along with success. For the program below I tried all the basic features out. I modified the sprite (changed colors, added parts from other sprites), created a gif (drew the color bomb), added sounds/music (I recorded the Candy Crush song from my iPad), and uploaded a new background. I was able to move the ball and the sprite around. If I was to add more to it, I would have the sprite somehow catch the balls.
