All the cool Scratchers.

Remember 1.4? 1.4 was so much better. Everything was better in 1.4. Here is 1.4. If you don't remember, you did not have a childhood. You were not a child. You retroactively did not exist. Remember Shift-Click-R? It was a good trick! You're too young to remember. It was a good trick! We had obsolete blocks. You don't. Things were better then. Now all is lost, including hope, which is dead. We had: Nintendo games, bowling alleys, pizza parties, McDonalds, skating rinks, ice cream, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Elmer's glue, safety scissors, Tootsie rolls, Combos, swimming pools, O.J. Simpson, Green Day - We had Green Day. What do kids these days have? Nothing. 1.4 is over. All that's left is despair. The day 1.4 died, all joy died. This generation. They don't know. They don't know. Kids these days. Kids these days. This generation. They don't know. They missed out.
Seriously though, what are your opinions on the update to 2.0? I don't have too good of a reason, but I'm not a big fan of it. An online editor is cool and all, but I preferred the old offline editor with a darker theme; the new one is so bright it strains your eyes after working with it a while. I just don't know, but I haven't really been active with Scratch ever since 2.0.

Yea, I miss the 1.x days. That's why we made these misc forums and our Skype group Also, although we don't have Shift-Click-R, we still have the source code, so there that... But in all honesty, I was hoping for a little bit more from 2.0. Everybody was so excited about cloud variables, but they're so limited! That and cloning are really the only two big things we got. Of course, a few things here and there, but that's about it.

This is, like, the most accurate description of 5 years ago that I've ever seen.
Do you plan on updating a ceiling fan in your home? What goals have you accomplished so far in 2012?

I like the 2.0 program better, but the community seems to have gotten much n00bier. I also miss Shift-Click-R.

Wasn't 2.0 leaked at one point?

Yep, the pre-alpha was. April, I found it on your website by typing random URLs. It wasn't very well hidden. I found it on my first try. >:)

I got it from someone who went to Scratch day. I wasn't, like, trying to hide it that much.

Where'd they get it from?

The prealpha was shown at Scratch Day that year, and they wrote down the URL that the presenters showed the program from so that they could download it at home later.

Huh. It's almost as-if the ST didn't even try to keep it a secret... You'd think you'd have to at least login or something like in Beta...

It was just on a Scratch Team member's MIT server space, not something they'd think about people looking up.

Well I mean they showed the url to a bunch of 12-year-olds. What did they expect would happen?

I believe it was only in sight for a short amount of time. I could be wrong.

lol, but still. I write down a URL whenever I see one as soon as it appears no matter what it is xD

I found the 2.0 prealpha on some Scratcher's (can't remember who it was) page about 2.0 which I think was made with weebly. The download page was "private" and not linked anywhere on the website, but I looked at the robots.txt file and found it. I still have a copy of it somewhere.
Scratch 1.4 was cool. I loved how I could easily modify it with Shift-click+R. It took me a while to get my head around Squeak, but it is a lot easier to modify than 2.0, which requires downloading the source code + dependencies, and compiling (which takes a lot of time to do). Another cool thing we had was Remote Sensor Connections.
You lost the game! <-- Highlight

I miss Shift-Click-R - in fact, that's probably the only thing I miss. 2.0 is so much better, with vector graphics, cloud data, in-browser editing, and made in a legible language. I mean, seriously? What is this?
addCommandIcons
| t1 |
super addCommandIcons.
(#(#doForever #doForeverIf #doRepeat #doUntil ) includes: selector)
ifTrue:
[t1 _ ScratchFrameMorph skinAt: #loopIcon ifAbsent: [^ self].
loopMorph _ ImageMorph new form: t1.
self addMorphBack: loopMorph]
Also, really? Class browsers? Why can't we just skim through the code?
Overall, imo, 2.0 was definitely worth it.
