Description

Phratch (https://code.google.com/p/phratch/) is an ongoing port of Scratch and BYOB on Pharo 2.0. The current prototype is still suffering from a lot of bugs. Part of the work will be to add unit tests to the existing project. Even if this is a port to Pharo, we will try to build a new version that is flavor-independent. The long term objective of Phratch is to be able to use it for teaching software engineering and robotics.

Technical Details

Pharo and some knowledge of Squeak
