==Software development==
The idea sprang from an already existing programming tool, [[Scratch (programming language)|Scratch]], where the user drags blocks into scripts in succession to create a script. This is found much easier by children than typing out the code manually like other programming languages tend to use. The developers of Hopscotch wanted to take a step back from Scratch, making it slightly easier to grasp the concepts and easier to use, so removed many blocks and added some of their own. Hopscotch's notion of events, and rules combining conditions with actions, is similar to [[AgentSheets]].
Hopscotch includes basic programming blocks and functionalities such as [[Variable (computer science)|variables]], [[Sprites (computer graphics)|sprites]] (called objects) and text objects, but also features considered more advanced such as self variables, math functions and more.
