Thanks for helping with Snap!Con 2021!
No materials for the event yet, sorry!
Catrobat considers itself the little sister project of Scratch for smartphones. Over the last decade, the Catrobat FOSS team has turned towards Snap!, TurtleStitch, NetsBlox, and ecraft2learn's AI extension for inspiration and new ideas to bring to Android and iOS. In my presentation I will show what in particular inspired us from Snap!, what we cannot yet do but are working on, as well as a few ideas from Catrobat that could be of use to others. Here are a few keywords on what we are currently still working on but already have implemented to some degree: Embroidery, generalized lists and lambda, JavaScript integration, hacker/dark-red mode, web API access, and AI integration. And a few things we can share: Scenes, merging, unit- and functional testing in the block-based visual language, signing of user apps, our physics game engine, and of course the small form factor of smartphones.
