Is there a way to make it all come back?

See, I have this thing in class where we have to do this thing on Scratch, and my Laptop shut off randomly with full battery, and scratch never saved the load of things that I did and it'll take forever to get it back. I was wondering if there was a way to bring the project back cause if it doesn't come back I'll get a bad grade. If Scratch can't bring my program back, Scratch should make it so that it ask's you even if your computer turns off if you want it to save like Word Document. Maybe I could like go into properties or something, just tell me a way to get it back!

This is a bad thing, and My friends wanted to play this, so please there has to be a way.

There is no way to restore a project you haven't saved. And if a computer turns off UNEXPECTEDLY, then you can't stop it to save. Also, you can't embed the project in a document, though you could save the code as a Word Document.

So sorry, it's not good news here.

If it just lost power, did it actually shut down? Maybe you should change your settings.

Like TDD said, you can't just save data when a computer crashes, and there's no way to recover data that isn't there. You should periodically save your work. Sorry.  sad

It happens. You just gotta accept it, and try to remake the game while you still have time to. So yep. That's it.
