What do you mean by create something from scratch?! Can anyone explain please.

Question

What do you really mean by scratch? Is it a programming language?

Answer 1

If you create something by scratch, it means that you are creating something from the beginning or without anything premade. For example, if you wanted to bake a cake from scratch, you wouldn't want premade cake batter, you would want to make it your own way. There is a better way to explain it but it's just an example.

Answer 2

use assembly or C (without any 3rd party libraries). or write a game without a game engine in C++; then you‘ll get the meaning of creating something from scratch.
