would it be possible to connect scratch ch to a raspberry pi? the rpi (raspberry pi) is a credit card sized computer board that you build and program yourself. I have one of these (model 5), and would it be possible to connect scratch to it? it can connect to bluetooth and do most things a normal computer can.

No, they mean a Raspberry Pi. See https://raspberrypi.com

Anyways, there's a version of the Scratch 3.0 Offline Editor for the Pi, you can download it from the Recommended Software app (or from the command line, the package is called scratch3).

I have tried both the pre installed scratch apps and they weren't the wholle thing. one was just a single project and nothing else, and the other one was the same thing but the project menu is different for some reason. I also checked pi apps for more, but those were the only ones. if you happen to have a script for the whole version, please share it and I will execute it.

There… aren't any pre-installed Scratch apps?

At least not on my Pi (and I used the Pi Imager to image it's OS…)


Anyways, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has some documentation on how to download the Scratch App for the Raspberry Pi at https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/scratch-3-desktop-for-raspbian-on-raspberry-pi/
