Re: Is Scratch Object Oriented Programming?
Well, it deals with attributes of objects (sprites), so I guess yes. I think the ([attribute] of [sprite]) seals it.

No, I think that would be First Class Data.

You need than to be OOP.

Eh, no. Not really. Eh, not much.

Re: Is Scratch Object Oriented Programming?
It is partially OO.
The fact that it has sprites (classes) that hold different scripts (as opposed to a single long script) makes it OO, but it cannot create sprites on runtime or store them in variables.

Re: Is Scratch Object Oriented Programming?
No. Scratch is an object-based language, but not an object-oriented one. Sprites are the objects of Scratch: they have state (variables) and behaviour (scripts). But Scratch does not support classes, inheritance, generics or interfaces, therefore it can't be considered an OO language.
3.3 Sprites: The Scratch Object Model
Sprites are objects: they encapsulate state (variables) and behavior (scripts). However, since Scratch has neither classes nor inheritance, it is an object-based language but not an object-oriented one. (A language must support inheritance to be called object-oriented [Wegner 1987].)

Your signature needs to be updated.
Aside from that, I already knew that it wasn’t. 
Did you even read the posts above?

You need than to be OOP.
No, object oriented programming means you can create objects with attributes and methods. A sprite's attributes are xpos, ypos, direction, costume#, etc. The methods are the scripts and blocks. So I say it is OOP.

I think you haven't read my post. I cited an article from Mitchel Resnick and other members of the Scratch Team in which they state clearly that Scratch is NOT object-oriented and why they say that. It's not a matter of what you think or what someone else thinks. It's a fact.
