Scratch Alternatives

Scratch is described as 'Programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas' and is a very popular game development tool in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Scratch for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Web-based, Mac, Linux and iPhone apps. The best Scratch alternative is GDevelop, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Scratch are Code.org, Snap!, microStudio and Pocket Code.
