Visit Panther

Panther is a programming language for young users with limited programming knowledge, built as a more advanced version of Scratch, the language developed at MIT. It is intended to give new programmers a straightforward starting point while offering additional capabilities to Scratch users. The project is no longer actively developed or supported, though the language remains available to download and use.

Its feature set includes file and webpage manipulation, advanced colour sensing, and cloning, alongside other additions described on the project's wiki. The site also provides tutorials, a guide to running Panther on Ubuntu, glitch reporting, Rosett coding, and a tool for converting Panther projects to EXE. Uploaded projects are organized into Dev, Developed, and Featured categories. Panther was developed collaboratively by a small group of programmers. No pricing, trial, or edition details are stated.
