Phratch is a Scratch (http://scratch.mit.edu) port on Pharo2.0. It is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and more as software programming.
Phratch is the evolution of the Scat project (https://code.google.com/p/scat/) which provided a port of Scratch on Pharo 1.3. Thanks to the developers of Scat, Phratch has strongly evolved to become a really cool tool.
It is more than a simple port of Scratch. The main new feature is that it is possible to create programmatically blocks. It means that Phratch is infinitely extendable with what you want. The best example I have is the possibility to control Mindstorms with Phratch.
It includes Settings, FileSystem, Metacello. It also includes the BYOB (Build your Own Block --> http://byob.berkeley.edu/#download) features.
