Description
First of all: Thank you lordmauve for your great work.
Problem: My students have to learn OOP.
Idea: Everybody knows Scratch. If Pygame Zero act like Scratch (e.g. object behaviour and method names), then the transition is smooth.
I have made a [helper module](https://github.com/nerdschmiede/oopz/) (basic idea comes from [QuirkyCort](https://github.com/lordmauve/pgzero/issues/220)). Some functions from Scratch like [text input](https://github.com/lordmauve/pgzero/issues/197) are not supported at this time.
Is it possible to add this kind of methods to Pygame Zero? Is it a bad idea?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked oopz helper module and the related issues about Scratch-style text input and object behaviour. Compare the proposed methods with Pygame Zero’s existing API, then clarify which Scratch-compatible features are in scope and what supported behaviour would define completion.
