What's New in Pyonkee

3.0

June 1, 2026

The “Clone” block, familiar from Scratch 3, has been added. You can now easily create clones that perform the same actions as the original sprite without having to copy it manually. This block has a wide range of applications. We hope you enjoy using it.

Sorry for calling you a ripoff
