Don't worry.  I also heard there's a downloadable version available.

That's really good news, because I wasn't quite sure. I would hate for Scratch to be online-only.

Like with online games lagging? I'm not sure, but maybe from all the other stuff on the page loading, like ads, which constantly refresh?

Re: oh no

They would have to make a downloadable version, because if someone's internet is down, they can't work in Scratch.

Remember - EVERYTHING on the internet is downloadable somehow.

Yes, there will be a downloadable version of Scratch 2.0 for offline use.  smile

EDIT: Oh, coolstuff already said that... ^_^

You don't even need to run it in an SWF player, just open it in a web browser.  tongue

But that would defeat the purpose of downloading the program because you can't use it online

Re: oh no

But internet would be cool anyway. You could create big mutiplayer games like Counter Strike Scratch or someting.... archmage would have a field day.
