About

What makes GDevelop unique and so easy to use is the event system. Events are a powerful way to express the logic of your game, without having to learn a programming language. Unleash your creativity with GDevelop and create all kinds of games: platformers, shoot’em up, strategy, 8-bit, hyper-casual games... the sky is the limit. Express your ideas, big and small: you can prototype new features on your games in minutes, and refine them without limits. Making games has never been so easy and fast, with the visual editors provided by GDevelop. Use ready made objects from the asset store or create your own from scratch. Choose sprites, particle emitters, texts, videos and many others to build the scenes of your game. Add effects to the layers and objects of your scene. These effects allow to quickly changes the atmosphere and rendering of your game in one click.

About

Scratch is a free visual programming language and online community where anyone can create their own stories, games, and animations. Developed by the MIT Media Lab, Scratch is designed primarily for users aged 8–16, but it is used by all ages and has a sizeable adult user base. The platform utilizes a block-based interface, allowing users to drag and connect code blocks to create programs, making it accessible for beginners. Scratch is used in many different settings, schools, museums, libraries, community centers, and homes. The platform supports over 70 languages, enabling a global community of users to share and remix projects. As of February 2023, the Scratch community has more than 103 million users and over 123 million shared projects. The website offers resources for parents and educators, including guides and tutorials to support learning and teaching. Scratch is taught and used in after-school centers, schools, and colleges, as well as other public knowledge institutions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • You can make literally anything with a bit of hard work. It also has much less glitches than Roblox Studio.

Cons

  • it can be a bit tricky to set up online multiplayer.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The most prominent advantage of Scratch lies in its extremely low barrier to entry. By replacing complex syntax with an intuitive block-based building system, it allows beginners to quickly grasp the core logic of programming and focus their energy on creative implementation. This efficient workflow is not only ideal for rapid prototyping but also makes it a powerful tool for developing simple graphical applications and small interactive projects. Furthermore, Scratch boasts strong cross-platform capabilities, delivering a highly consistent experience whether on Windows, macOS, Linux desktops, or within an HTML environment via a browser. This versatility makes it widely used in education globally for cultivating computational thinking, but its practical value extends to the commercial sector as well. For instance, it can be effectively used to create interactive product demos, simple brand promotion games, or serve as a rapid prototyping tool for proof-of-concept—its development efficiency and cross-platform distribution potential should not be underestimated.

Cons

  • As a tool designed for beginners, Scratch has clear functional limitations. It lacks the ability to dynamically execute string-based code, like Python’s exec(), preventing flexible self-modification or iteration of program logic at runtime. Additionally, its approach to data and resource management tends to be static, making it difficult to handle complex data structures or dynamic resource loading. Moreover, due to the lack of native support for 3D graphics and the absence of advanced language features (such as complex algorithm libraries), developers may feel constrained when project complexity exceeds a certain threshold, making it challenging to implement more professional or performance-intensive work.
