its also hard to edit at all with blocks your really limited if you only use the blocks in the tool box
Text or blocks?
you will have to type anyways to change the names of variables so why not just use text

I forced myself to do text and I think it is easier doing text after I forced myself

its a good thing to understand text better than blocks/nodes because you can get grasps on more options in code.org and you can get used to other programming languages if you so choose to push yourself there.

the only reason to use blocks is cuz whenever a non programmer sees you using text they start yelling that you're a hacker

either way its against the law and you will still stay poor
personLvl 62
unless your one of those nerdy government hackers, who work for the government to lower the price of other country's money and destabilize their economy, then maybe you wont be poor and wanted

person that's not exactly the case. yes, hacking is illegal but only if used in malicious intent to destroy someone else's property or content. there are ways to earn money by hacking and one prime example is taking in a request from a company to hack into their stuff. if you partner up with the company like google and make it into their servers, they can find the vulnerability and patch it. then you can get paid to do so. hacking is a great skill to learn, just not to hurt others.
TLDR; hacking is illegal if used in bad ways. hacking can earn you money by making a deal with a company to help them find issues in their code.

then is it really hacking tho? or is it just being like a form of tester?
personLvl 62
on google it says
hacking
noun
the gaining of unauthorized access to data in a system or computer.
"outlawing hacking has not stopped it"
checkig the code would be authorized
personLvl 62
there is a diffrence between programming and hacking
personLvl 62
although i see where your coming from, i saw a video about "white hat hackers", although are they really hackers?
ive created a BIG split in this fourm by one simple question
BlockyheadmanLvl 12
person I'd say that they are as you are gaining access to data you're not supposed to have. which makes it unauthorized. so as long as you don't directly have access to the program, you'd be hacking into thier systems.
