I looked into the tools page and I discovered quite a few things that would assist a game developer, however I was wondering where is the line drawn when it comes to programming? As someone who is interested in this (quite a lot actually) I know for a fact 3 weeks is not enough time to learn any language to make a game. On the other hand, I have been playing around with Scratch for about 2 years now, and I have made quite a few games like that. Styncyl, seems to have a similar style, although I feel much more comfortable using something I already know. In scratch I realize I will not be able to publish it as my own work because it’s using someone else’s program, and there are many restrictions about making games off of scratch and using it for personal use. However it is something I want to attempt and I was wondering if Scratch is a viable option in the upcoming Dare.<\/p>\n
