Scratch

2.0 looks alright to me. Let's see the final usable version before complaining or requesting changes.

that is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen

I like the one they have now 

I really like your design! Though there are some people (me specifically) that use a netbook or computers with small screens, making it kind of annoying when coding and looking at the display, and full-screen is good enough to play games without the scripting area.

Your player size is good for show-casing projects, but I think that the current size should stay the same in Scratch.

Kind of unnecessary how everything is flipped, don't you think?

There were some benefits of the change that have been mentioned before. For example, since the project page on the website has the project on the left, when you click "look inside", the transition to the scripting area would be much smoother, as the stage stays on the left. 

I guess that would make sense... How about flipping the player to the right instead of the left on the site? Or maybe we should be able to choose the location of the player ourselves?

Why not switch the box on the website?

Do the creators a favor. 

hard to decide which one i like more

Yep! That's actually the main reason. If you were to put the project to the right of the project page -- well, it'd be a little weird, dontcha think?

I did think of that as the reason why... but I wanted my design to be easier on the project creators. Is the stage put to the left of the screen online to feel similar to a Youtube video?


I have some ideas here:

-  When you click the "see inside" button on a project page, it would be fun to have a little animation of all of the comments/project notes/stats slide away to be replaced with the editor tools, and have the stage slide to the other side of the screen. Somehow I think that would feel more "official"....    ...like rearranging papers on a desk.

- The ability to flip/rearrange the screen in the project editor

Cool mockup! I support! I think that this will make Scratch look a lot neater than it currently is.

I prefer both 2.0 and 1.4, but weirdly not your mockup... your mockup mixes too much pixel art with high-tech fady/fancy graphics.

I think they should make the layout be customizable.  That way, everyone's happy.

This is way better than Lightnin's in my opinion.

Indeed.

1.4 FTW!!

I dont like the look of 2.0. Why did Lightnin flip it?

How would this work on computers with smaller screens. My laptop has a very small screen, and 1.4 compensates for that with the new mode they added in.
