Scratch 2.0

People often ask us about the future of Scratch. Well, we wrote a short text about it as part of our submission for the Digital Media and Learning competition. If we win, the award would help us support the implementation of those ideas. Here you can read our proposal: http://dmlcompetition.net/pligg/story.php?title=241

I'd encourage anyone interested in Scratch to post their feedback on that website. I think the organizers would love to see people giving feedback and support for the different projects.

Thanks!

Re: Scratch 2.0

Yay, we can see stuff about 2.0!  smile

Will it use the Java player? Projects run differently on the Java player then on the Scratch program.  hmm

I'm pretty sure Squeak will then have a web player. XD

Our current plan is to make the editor and the player using Flash (like YouTube and ClubPenguin, among others). This is not final though.

Re: Scratch 2.0

sounds interesting... secratch 2.4 isnt so far away as thought! Maybe .nds or even wii or exbox might be a good idea.. hint hint. I suppose it would be very hard to make it on consoles but for now its great!

Re: Scratch 2.0

But 2.0 makes it sound like it has a hundred features  sad

If I could, I'd vote on Scratch 1.5 being the next version. I like it better that way.

Re: Scratch 2.0

BWOG, to me, 2.0 just sounds like a major change.  And, believe me, if you could write games on the web without downloading a client application, that would be a pretty major change.

Personally, I look forward to the ability to call a web service and parse the response.  That opens up a whole new world of multi-user games.

Re: Scratch 2.0

As nice as it seems... it doesn't seem to mention implementing any new blocks/features necessarily. We the people, on the forums seem to have no role in anything. We've suggested a lot, but it seems like nobody has really thought about it. Its either that, or its just that they didn't mention that, because their audience would probably not know about that stuff, which I would understand...

Re: Scratch 2.0

Lucario, they probably just want to mention the major stuff.  smile

Hope the show/hide list blocks get added, and the 'variable display moving problem' gets fixed.  wink

Sadly, the problem with a web-based Scratch is that you can't program away from the Internet.  sad

1.4 might still be available for download, or maybe they could make a desktop version of 2.0  smile

Re: Scratch 2.0

Wow, i came back to the scratch forums after not being on for a bit, to find that 2.0 is coming out!  smile
*crosses fingers for mesh*
The current idea for scratch sound great, especially the flash player projects-maker idea... lots of my friends want to use scratch but cannot download it, so this is great! (maybe it could even work online for macs!)

Re: Scratch 2.0

I hope you guys win. It sounds like something close to mesh is coming, or atleast variables that can pull from a storage on the web, such as Facebook. This will be an awsome feature if it is true! I look forward to it.

Re: Scratch 2.0

* sharing Scratch projects on mobile phones, tablets, and other new platforms;

* integrating Scratch with social media, so that young people can program projects to dynamically pull content from and push updates to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other Web 2.0 sites;

* providing infrastructure for groups of young people to collaborate on projects (including group decision-making tools and collaborative annotations);

* enabling young people to program, remix, and share projects more seamlessly, all within a web browser, without any downloading or uploading.

These features are exactly what Scratch needs. It would be awesome if these were actually implemented.

Re: Scratch 2.0

This looks great, but I still don't think making it all into a web application is a good idea. It would be pretty convenient, but IMO it should have an offline player too.

Besides, what would happen to all the projects made in earlier versions? Would people have to scrap all their unfinished projects and rebuild them in 2.0?

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Scratch 2.0

Pulling information from sites would be a very helpful idea...
And there should also still be a download version...
