Can I be a reporter for "Spotlight"?

I thought I was doing it.

It's not awesome, but I spent thirty minutes on it. An hour and a half shorter than what I usually do if it has quality...

Hey, can someone get pics of Blu_Spy's and King Fanta's characters? I'll use that.

My Scratch 2.0 article.

Scratch 2.0

The Inside Story

Nearly all scratchers have heard of Scratch 2.0, but what do they know about it. This article will attempt to broaden your knowledge of Scratch 2.0 by giving you the latest information about it.

Scratch 2.0 will come out in early autumn. It will only be available in Abode Flash. It will have many new blocks. These are:

•    Clone, this stamps a sprite which can then be independent and have scripts itself.

•    Show/hide lists using the show/hide variable blocks.

•    Video motion sensing blocks.

•    Scenes as well as backgrounds to make stories easier to create.

•    Warp speed executes one script in turbo mode.

•    Cloud Variables are variables that are the same for all scratchers.

There will be a BYOB (Build Your Own Block) feature as well. Sadly this is limited.
For an in-detph description of blocks go to http://info.scratch.mit.edu/prototype

The website will be completely changed as well.

•    The homepage will be changed

•    You will be able to subscribe to other people’s projects.

•    The friends system will be scrapped.

•    Forum posts will not be transferred.

•    Project Credits are better ways to credit users.

•    Possibly a customisable homepage.

There are many features in the Scratch interface that will be changed.

•    There will be a web browser version as well as a downloadable version.

•    The play screen will be on the left rather than the right.

•    The logo will be changed slightly and the Scratch Cat wil be chubbier.

•    Sprites will appear bigger under the play screen.

•    There will be a sound editor.

•     The ability to collect media from other peoples projects and store them in a “digital backpack” for later use in your projects.

•    You may be able to receive information from websites such as twitter for use in your projects.

•    Possibly some new features to make it easier to collaborate.

•    Possibly a new media centre to make more media available in projects.

•    Possibly a way to view projects on tablets.

Many new features on top of these may come. Some of the listed features are subject to change before release.

@JH1010: Awesome! I sorta don't want 1.4 to leave, even if I did just join a few months ago. I will miss this design, and the Scratch interface too (I want ze previews on ze right!). P.S. Scrach Cat is chubbier in 2.0.

@Chongyian: Okay! I'll interview about three collabs, and if you want more, you can tell me.    If you're in a collaboration that I'm interviewing, Scratch Chatter Team, please don't answer.

Awesome!

Heya, guys. My internet was down, long story. I got the Ask Scratchy banner done, but it seems like HumHum has already made one. I guess we can use this one whenever HumHum isn't answering questions or anything.
