We're trying to solve that problem with Construct 3: https://www.construct.net

We find a lot of schools go straight to python coding after scratch, but our block based system is a powerful and allows students to write their first lines of Javascript inside the blocks themselves - and they can then go all the way to writing full Javascript files inside Construct 3.

There is a big gap here and after speaking to a lot of teachers it's a big problem and we're hoping Construct 3 helps smooth this gap out for both the students and the teachers.

This is cool, it reminds me of a program I used to use from Corel called Click n Create. Definitely got me into coding so I like the direction you’re heading!
