Re: Help!!!!

Hi wordMan,

from your comment in my "Source" project I understand you've been trying to hack into the Scratch image, saved it, and now can't get back into Scratch. You need to first uninstall Scratch, then manually delete any files left in the Scratch folder, and finally reinstall Scratch again. Be sure to save your projects before (!)

I don't want to spoil the fun, but I'd like to point out that I specifically advise in that project *not* to save anything in case you feel like you have to hack into Scratch, because that's how you can seriously break stuff.

Those two "hacking"-howto's by me are meant more of an encouragement to study Smalltalk, even though you don't need it at school, because you can do such immensely cool things with it. However, maybe I should make it more clear that it's certainly not recommended to *start* learning Smalltalk by trying to modify how Scratch works. Scratch is a programming language itself which just happens to be implemented in Smalltalk. It could also be implemented in any other programming language, and might even eventually be...
