Ok, I don't know if this works in Windows 7, I know it works in Vista.

Go to games, open inkball. See the score thing at the top? How similar is that to the large variable monitor on Scratch?

Is this merely a coincidence, or could this mean that Microsoft used a custom version of Scratch to make this game? The pen blocks mean that Scratch would be a great tool to make a game like this.

In case you don't have access to this game, here's a screenshot from online. Look top right.

(Why all the topics all the sudden?)

It's just a coincidence, the round-rectangle score/point view is common, it looks quite nice.

scratch release date: early 2007
vista release date: november 2006

plus the fact that it doesn't really look like scratch, i'm going to go with no

jji7skyline · 2012-09-23 21:52:27

Then explain how they could look so similar?

Even the colour is almost exactly the same.

veggieman001 · 2012-09-23 21:54:12

urm no it's not
the scratch one is definitely more orange

maxdoss · 2012-09-23 22:19:38

It's a coincidence.

If Microsoft's software engineers use something intended to teach children programming to create stuff in their insanely complex OS, it's time to switch to [strikethrough]Mac[/strikethrough] (Why doesn't the forum have a strikethrough BBCode?) Linux.

Edit: It may be that the large variable display in Scratch and the score display in Inkball are built into Smalltalk-80, so they would be the same/similar.

I don't think it was made in scratch

It has REALLY good bouncing and the pen marks erase when you hit them, plus the old pen mark disappears if you have about 50 or more

Coincidence?

^It seems more likely that MS created it using Smalltalk.

Wikipedia states otherwise:

The first version of Scratch was developed in 2006 by the Lifelong Kindergarten group, led by Mitchel Resnick, at the MIT Media Lab[3]. Scratch allows for constructing and testing through mostly tactile process because the creators' first priority was to make it as easily learned by children as possible.

Are you like apple now?

RedRocker227 · 2012-09-24 18:05:19

There's probably tons of games with orange score displays with white text

maxskywalker · 2012-09-24 19:53:42

The shade and shape are different, and Vista came out before Scratch.

Now stevie is gonna come.
But yes, I agree. XDDDD

soupoftomato · 2012-09-24 20:04:01

Wait, you were serious about liking Vista?

I only use it because my parents won't change. Second I can afford/get my hands on a laptop it's getting 7 or XP

Just because I'm a huge Apple fan (and not a fan boy) doesn't mean I agree with everything they say or do; I'm strongly against the current patent system and hope people don't automatically think I'm all for Apple just because they're Apple. sad

Anyway, this isn't the omgmyoperatingsystemisbetter thread.

Kind of cool how they look similar, right?
