Welcome to my official website

Hello! I'm Griffpatch, and I got hooked on coding when I was kid, now I'm a parent and nothing's changed! I love making games, playing music & being super creative!

I got into Scratch when my kids joined a Scratch Club at school - And the teacher told me I should try it out :D Now I am the most followed Scratcher, and I have a YouTube channel dedicated to sharing my passion for coding, with 100's of fantastic & easy to follow tutorials for beginners and advanced Scratchers alike!

LEARN HOW TO CODE & CREATE YOUR OWN GAMES IN SCRATCH

My Most Famous Scratch Games

Below are a couple of my most beloved tutorial series where we learn to code some really special games, but for more videos head over to my YOUTUBE CHANNEL, and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE so as not to miss my next exciting video! (don't forget to check that bell icon!)

LEARN HOW TO CODE & CREATE YOUR OWN MULTI-PLAYER GAMES IN SCRATCH

Multi-Player Games - YouTube Tutorials

My Scratch YouTube tutorials are a fantastic resource that teach the joy of coding, already enjoyed by 100's of thousands of Scratchers, these fun tutorials teach it all, carefully going over basic concepts, and always trying to explain the "why".

CREATING NEW GAMES BECAUSE OF YOU!

Thank you for all your comments & love

Your tutorials are fantastic! Although I've been on scratch for over 4 years, your tutorials still teach me new stuff. Your tutorials are really easy for anyone to understand- making the code very customizable! A key part of tutorials is explaining why you need that piece of code, how it works, and the like. Some people will just sit there telling you what to do- but not why it works. Thank you for being such an influential scratcher. Please keep it up! Plus: I'm looking forward to a new tutorial past this- possibly a roguelike? ;)

Amazing video as before in this series. I started doing scratch and then moved on to C# and Unity and even in a more advanced language i still am learning things from you. You Rock Griffpatch ⚡ And out of all the videos uploaded by subscribers in my list i always watch your first!

Jama

thank you griffpatch for the tutorials :) you have improved the scratch experience for people and you are the only reason I got into programming! Even if you don't read this, I just want to write a thank you note. love from South Africa

Your Scratch tutorials are unmatched. I think you've found a perfect balance between keeping the videos a certain length and making sure the viewer understands what they're doing. I usually watch the tutorials before following them so I have a general idea of what I'm going to have to do when I eventually follow them. Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing an incredible job. :)

When was 9 found your account on Scratch, you amazed me with what you could do with it and inspired me to start teaching myself how to code. Now I'm finishing my 2nd semester of CS at university and am loving it still. Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me as a kid.

I think everything about your videos is great. They are the right pace with the right amount of explanation. I wouldn't even mind if they were longer! I always learn the most and retain the information using your tutorials! I always ask myself when I am stuck on a coding problem: what would Griffpatch do!

Absolute GOLD of a tutorial! You keep blowing me away, Griffpatch!

9 months ago I just found that you made a channel as I wanted to thank you. I followed your work as a kid and it defo was a big part of what sparked my interest in programming. years on and my interest is still going strong. Hopefully going to university for computer science next year. So yeah thanks.

I have only one word to say: INCREDIBLE ! I've never been so excited in my life to do something, you have done such an amazing job!

And even the Grown-Ups are joining in...

Just want to say thanks for all the amazing tutorials. My son was off school for a a few days with an illness and we worked together to see who could finish as much of the mario platformer as possible. Loads of fun! He said he's learned way more doing your tutorials than he would have at school lol

Jean-Baptiste (Dad)

The pace is great. Sometimes we follow along with my son and sometimes we just watch you work your magic together. I can’t overstate the positive impact you have on my 7yo son, he loves you and we bond watching your videos.

Steve (Dad)

Pace is great! We pause frequently but sometimes keep up. I’d rather that than too slow. My 11-yo and I are coding the rpg series together (each on separate computers) and it has been great quality time. He has done and loved many of your other videos. When I don’t follow the rationale of the script, I hit the back arrow for 10 or 20 second rewind and listen again after I have the code in place. Of course, my son gets it all the first time, sometimes even predicting what you’ll do next

Eden (Teacher)

Hi there, I am a teacher and am using your tutorials with my code club I think the pace of the videos is perfect. The pupils and I follow along pausing when needed and rewinding if necessary. The theory at the beginning along with the additional theory throughout the video is why I use your tutorials, it explains what you are doing in a way that the children understand.

Mike (Grandfather)

My grandson and I have been getting together once or twice a week for over a year to develop our Scratch skills. Your video approach has allowed us to learn more about productive Scratch coding in the last 3 months than all we did in the previous year. You have a gift for explaining complex graphics concepts in terms that your followers can understand and adapt as we experiment with your code. You should feel good knowing how much you are contributing to the positive development of a whole generation of Scratchers.
