Scratch
Scratch is a programming method similar to Hour of Code, dragging blocks into place and having them do things, but it seems somewhat more complex in what you can have it do.

Tip One
There are tutorials on the Scratch website that teach you how to do various things, and this is the first one. To start it, click the green flag and watch. The code is shown below, the cat's on the left and the human's on the right.
Tip Two
This is the second tutorial on the website. To make this one work, you have to click each letter and watch its movement.
Pong
For our final tutorial, we were allowed to choose what we wanted to do. I chose to do Pong. It's kind of Pong, anyways. The code on the left is for the ball, and the right is the paddle. Each time you hit the ball, your score increases by one and the ball bounces off the paddle. It cannot hit the paddle for the next one second, so you can't have the paddle too close to the top of the game. If the ball hits the red at the bottom, the game stops.
