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 share your creations on the web.

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 includes Settings, FileSystem, Metacello. It also includes the BYOB (Build your Own Block --> http://byob.berkeley.edu/#download) features.

To download it, run this code in Pharo2.0 ([http://www.pharo-project.org])

Gofer it
    url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/JLaval/Phratch/main'; 
    package: 'ConfigurationOfPhratch';
    load.
