Scratch

Awesome! I can't wait!

I think I'm just gonna stick with 1.4 when this comes out.

@Liru I'm pretty sure that you can upload projects from 1.3 now, and the ST has said that Scratch 2.0 will play v1.4 projects.
-------------------------------------------
I noticed that it said that a beta of 2.0 will be released at Scratch Day. Does this mean only Scratch Day @ MIT, or the website on Scratch Day?

Thanks lightning for posting some more screenshots of scratch 2.0. The new website looks awesome and I really like the idea of the "backpack". The only things, I don't like yet are the GRAY say blocks and the ugly new flag. As someone already said before me, please use the one from the pre-alpha or the one from the forums.
BTW: Did you decide to leave the "Add a random object" feature out, or will this be implemented later?

I don't think you'd be able to submit projects.

Yes you will. I can't remember where, but I definitely saw it confirmed somewhere.

hi got an bug saying that I can not post because safety say`s that it is unsafe please can you fix this problem!

please note : Im one of your followers    my photo when I`m on line is a boy with his heir not in the pic (photo) and sitting at the table with a Google thing at the side!




project page and project editor awesome    dose this mean it will be easy to show school what scripets you did could you edit them online as well as download


out of topic: how about a forum upgrade making you be able to post projects like this:

[project]your project adress here[676435][/project] and it will look like the project but with a bar at the top saying if your useing JAVE it will say click here to use the new and inproved flash player If you are useing   
flash it will say hope you liked the inproved scratch go the the JAVE player now
and you`ll get given a code when you upload your project and it will automatically put it in the code place in the project notes

hope I helped inprove scratch 2.0 and the forums

Are the blocks THAT ugly?

Anyway, looking forward to it (PLEASE make the offline version a bit nicer, cos the Green Flag looks horrible)

Point made.

I think I know how that "Credits" section gets updated. The same way as project notes.
Source: ScratchR source.

Ah, since you have figured it out, you should tell us! 
The credits area has yet to be fully fleshed out. We do want to add the ability to manually add Scratchers to it, so it shows not only those whose code / scripts you have remixed, but also those who gave good ideas, or -, that the automatic credit giver cannot detect.

I agree. The editor pane is a bit disappointing, isnt it?

But they did say early alpha, so anything could happen!

Well I have to admit.
The green flag block does need some touching up.

Ah, those gray blocks - that's a bug.    I should've caught it before making the screenshot. Sorry for the confusion, everyone! I'll have to update it. The say blocks will not be gray- they'll be regular old purple.

re: Random sprite - I don't think we'll put it in there, but I'm not sure about this. To me, it doesn't seem useful enough to justify the precious space it takes up in the UI.

Looks good!  But shouldn't Sensing and Triggers be the same thing?  And might Scratch 2.0 include an alternate, more minimalist view?

Ah, not minimalist enough for you!    That's not one we hear too often.  Usually Scratchers want more features. 

Right now the plan is to have only one view, to avoid confusion when teaching others how to do things in Scratch. For example, If you are on the forums explaining to someone new to Scratch how to do something, it's easy to forget which view they are in compared to yours.

Triggers will be for hat blocks, and sensing will be very similar to the way it is now.
