'''Hopscotch''' is a [[visual programming language]] developed by Hopscotch Technologies, designed to allow young or beginner [[programmers]] to develop simple projects. It's simple [[User interface|UI]] allows its users to drag and drop blocks to create [[Script (computer programming)|scripts]] that can be played when activated. The use of the language is through an [[iPad]] or [[iPhone]] supporting Hopscotch.<ref name="Hanselminutes Podcast2">[http://www.hanselminutes.com/417/i-am-teaching-my-daughter-to-code-with-hopscotch-fitzgerald-steele Hanselminutes Podcast, Show #417], Apr 04, 2014, titled "I am teaching my daughter to code with Hopscotch - Fitzgerald Steele", 30-minute interview with father whose daughter tried Hopscotch app on iPad.</ref> It has many easy-to-understand tutorials to help kids learn faster, and the ability to play other users projects that can help them learn and let them play!

=== Webplayer ===
The player is also available on the web (known as the "Webplayer"). The web player brings Hopscotch projects to almost any browser. It is designed to work the same as the in-app player,
Both the in-app and the web player are written in [[JavaScript]].
There is also currently a version being developed as of 2024 for easier access to Hopscotch through a computer.
== Subscription ==
Currently, there is a Hopscotch subscription. It costs $79.99 a year or $9.99 a month. The subscription allows access to adding photos or drawings, 30 “seeds” (the form of Hopscotch currency) a month, custom avatars, user variables, and more. In order to make a account, you must purchase the subscription to post or create a draft. Teacher accounts do not need the subscription, nor does signing up through the Webplayer.
== Hopscotch Forum ==
The Hopscotch Forum is the official online forum for Hopscotch, for users to discuss Hopscotch projects, programming, and view update information for changes made to the Hopscotch app. Users may also host or participate in Competitions or Events, and collaborate on projects. It is recommended you join for the full Hopscotch experience!
