Re: Scratch 1.3 is now available for download.
Hi, all.
There are still a few bugs in the Scratch Java Player related to the new list and string features, so some 1.3 projects do not yet work online.
Apologies to those whose projects are not yet working online I'm working on it...

Re: lists of lists
So, you should not allow to put a list variables into a list: In 1.3 you can!!! (but naturally it doesn't has an effect)
Do you mean, what happens if you put the list reporter for "list1" into the "add" block for "ist2"? It does have an effect: it adds a new element to list2 that contains the concatenation of list1.
We'll consider your suggestion about collapsing multiple sprite copies into a single "Sprite-Area." However, I think an improved version of clone might actually be simpler, and it would allow the maximum number of sprite copies to be determined dynamically.

I hope cloning will be introduced. I accidentally stumbled upon Micks(?) version of Scratch that has cloning blocks and deleting block
That's my PSN ID. I know tons of COD4 glitches. Add me as your friend. Oh, and get a headset

When I Downloaded It It Deleted All The Projects Off Of My Computer Help
Scratch Team...is this possible? Deletion of projects when installing version 1.3? Or is it more likely that the files are just lost in some obscure folder?
GameMan43 - have you tried searching your entire disk drive for .sb files (Scratch projects) including hidden files and folders? It is possible they may be hiding somewhere. What is your operating system on your PC?
No not yet... I will thanks!

It will replace your older version of Scratch. It is not supposed to erase your old projects - it didn't for me. I have heard of a couple of cases of people losing their projects though. I think it might be because they changed the location where Scratch installs and their projects are still there, only Scratch is looking for them in the wrong place.

Re: Scratch 1.3 is now available for download.
I thought my latest project had disappeared.
I started it in 1.2, then edited it in 1.3.
I'd saved it and closed down Scratch gracefully (ie. not a crash)
The next day I opened Scratch it had disappeared from my project list.
It turns out it was still there, but only as 'tmp2'. I renamed it to 'project.sb', and it re-opened it, and it worked. (Phew!)
(However, it still doesn't work on-line.)
So if your project has gone AWOL, I suggest you take a look through your folders for 'tmp' files.

Can you give us some details of what happened? Was this a new project you were working on? What do you mean when you say "the scripts were misplaced"? They were on the wrong part of the screen? Or they were on the wrong sprite? Or something else? Thanks.

Hi, SeanCanoodle.
Scratch 1.3 does not work on Win 98 or Win Me, but it might actually work on Windows 2000 (which is based on Windows NT). If someone has and Win 2K computer, maybe they can report if Scratch works on it. (You will know if it doesn't -- it won't even start.)

Hi johnadmin, I Have A Windows 2000 And When I Try To Upload A Project It Tells Me "Failed: Address Not Found" But Otherwise It Works
Hi!
Good to see you. (Even if I don't know you

Re: Scratch 1.3 is now available for download.
Thank you so much for putting arrays and strings into the code. Of course, now my wish list just gets longer. :-)
A method for concatenation would be nice..
Of course, now that my brain is going, a way to put composite data structures together would also be nice.
And then I started thinking about indirect variable references (e.g. the name of the string is a variable name which has a value of its own).
I think I'll stop with asking for concatenation. :-)
Best regards, great job,

Good job Scratch team. Now the only thing you could add to Scratch is have sprite duplication, seperate scenes (Similar to Costumes), booleans, and a few more Highly Detailed Controls. Nice job though. I used Scratch 1.3 during its beta and it was also great.
scratch is to introduce programming to young people, I still don't understand boolean much and scratch doesn't want to get to advanced.
lol boolean is just a variable where you can only put two values in, which are yes and no. Basically Boolean is just a variable that saves memory space because it ca't hold as much as a variable.
