After mastering Scratch, intermediate users face an important question: what’s next? You can now create simple games and animations, but you’ve also encountered limitations. There are no return values for functions. Object-oriented programming isn’t available. You want to build something more complex. At this stage, there are two main paths to choose from.

The first option is to use an advanced version of Scratch. Snap! offers a similar interface while allowing return values and object-oriented programming. Blockly lets you continue using visual programming while also converting your code into JavaScript or Python. If you want to stay within a familiar environment while expanding your capabilities, these tools are strong choices.

The second option is to transition to a general-purpose programming language. JavaScript and Python open the door to web development and AI. If you’re interested in game development, Unity and C# provide a natural next step, offering a visual interface that makes the transition easier.

Scratch was a great starting point for learning programming. But in the next stage, more creative freedom is needed. The path you choose depends on what you want to create and how far you want to take it.
