Hey Guys! Swiftgtah here, And Me and some people, like @WormStudios are onto the mystery of what The Scratch prototype was, how it looked like, and more. So far, we've gotten evidence From Weekend. So please, join us on the hunt to solve the mystery of The Scratch Prototype!

Alrighty!

What are you talking about when you're saying ‘Scratch Prototype’?

If you mean pre-1.0, here's some things from the Scratch Wiki.

Scratch started development in 2003. This is what it looked like:

Pretty strange, right? It looks way different to today's Scratch. All the blocks look like stack blocks and they connected if you put one beside another, like magnets.

This is what it looked like in 2004:

You can see now that the blocks have a proper shape, and that there are now C blocks. It's also a funny colour now.

Here's an image from 2005:

The editor looks more like 1.0's, and there are more recognisable blocks there.

Then, in 2007, Scratch was released to the public.

You can read more about it here.

Woah! Thanks, We'll keep this in mind. But do you, in any case, know which prototype, Weekend is from?

Here's a funny thing: If we look at weekend. one of the backdrops has an image of the last screenshot, from 2005. Well, it at least looked like that

Do you mean the project? It was most likely made in 1.0 or so, because the actual website didn't exist until late 2006, and it was officially released in 2007.

Everyone. in case you're wondering, Scratch Started development in 2002. Back then, Scratch, I think, was very, VERY early in development. A few blocks, and ONLY a few blocks were coded back then

No, it was 2003.

If you look inside sounds for Weekend, some garbled radio sounds can be found. I highly think these were sounds from the prototype, that were overwrriten with their ID by some others. But Here;s a project that restored them: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/24872259/

Wow, the sound that was restored sounds similar to one of the sample sounds that you can find for scratch. I wonder if that means there are other sound created for the prototype that are similar to the ones we have now

Maybe. A comment said that the sound was similar, but was a bit slower and low-pitched then the one in the restoration. But still, it's pretty good, and has given us a sneak peek at one of the sounds in the prototype!

No, it was 2003.

Scratch Team, in an interview, said they started working on Scratch in 2002. I think 2003 was when Scratch started coming together.

bruh,

What.

Here's a topic on how every version of Scratch looked like, and how to download them. Yes, feel free to use that stuff to make real project with older/prototype versions.

You remembered wrong.
This article states that the idea was first proposed in 2003. 2002 only appears once in the whole wiki.
