I find games in scratch are complex and require too much programming knowledge to really get something interesting up and running. The micro:bit on the other hand can do interesting lights, sounds, etc with just the drag and drop of a few lines.
I didn't know micro:bit works with Scratch, thanks a lot!!!
I had plans to make some kind of board with STM32 that could be programmed with Scratch but maybe I will put that project off and use micro:bit instead.
No prob. I'm going through the same process as you at the moment, have been looking at all the options for a while. Micro:bit seems to be the best fit for young learners.
I am in the same boat with old code bases. I find younger developers that haven't maintained code for 10+ years seem to not appreciate simple code.
Colleague of mine once said it nicely:
I started writing simple code, then I gained experience and started writing sexy complex code, then I gained more experience and now I write simple code again.
