Question

Can I use Scratch to create games and sell the games in freelance coding

Answer 1

Scratch is a programming language designed for educational purposes, and its terms of use strictly forbid users from using it for commercial purposes. Therefore, it is not allowed to use Scratch to create games and sell them as part of freelance coding.

If you are interested in creating games to sell as a freelance coder, you may want to consider learning a more advanced programming language, such as , Java, or C++, which are widely used in the game development industry. You can also consider using game development engines, such as Unity or Unreal Engine, which offer powerful tools for creating games and selling them commercially. However, you should be aware that creating a successful game can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it may require a team of developers, designers, and artists to create a high-quality product that can compete in the market.

Answer 2

Scratch is a toy language for kids to learn programming. What you create with it is for fun and educational purpose, not really for commercial benefit. But when in doubt, you should review the license conditions.

It means that whatever you create in Scratch, anyone can also freely copy it without paying.

Answer 4

You'd be better served using the concepts and principles you learned in scratch and applying it to a more sophisticated language. I'd recommend whatever language is most popular or officially supported on whatever platform you want to develop on, and maybe some c or c++ for when you need to get closer to the hardware

Answer 5

Scratch uses Blocky, A JavaScript library developed by google for building visual programming editors. If you like Scratch because of its code editor.

You can download it from the official website of the library or use it as a dependency in your JavaScript project.
