Scratch Is a Big Deal

Snap

Here you can design a level and let friend pass it - destroy all bricks. You hit language limitations all the time. The scratch disigners say it is so to oe friendly to jeginners, howewer the need to invent crazy trics to aohieve simple things is not actually friendly. IMHO, it is better and simpler to teach children using more normal languages, where smal set of elements combine well. The Snap! Is an extended reimplementation of Scratch, but prvides power approximately equal to scheme: https://snap.berkeley.edu/.
