How old is Scratch?

The prototype of Scratch, Scratch 0.1, was created on October 11, 2003 by the MIT Media Lab's Lifelong Kindergarten Group. Scratch was first launched as a downloadable desktop application in May 2007.

Spraypaintdev is not wrong, but he is also wrong.
The 11Oct03 version is the first version of Scratch that is well known - and is often the one pointed to as an obvious first answer -, however 30Jun03 is the first version of Scratch in general.

Even older then Scratch is LogoBlocks, which was created in the 1990s.

Yea, but he said that the prototype of Scratch was created on October 11, 2003. Though you can't get 30Jun03 because it hasn't been found, and also 27?

How old is Scratch?

That's not entirely clear. Scratch was originally released to the public in early 2007, but it was being developed for years beforehand.

The oldest build we currently have access to is Scratch 11Oct03, created on October 11th, 2003.
It is possible (and quite likely) that there were other builds before this one, but they have not yet been found.

The Scratch name and concept are known to have existed at least as far back as November 2002. However, no builds from that time are known to exist, and given that Scratch was not given funding until early 2003, development may not have started yet.

Do you have a source for this? The only information I could find about 30Jun03 was on the Scratch Wiki, which lacks any citations. All evidence seems to suggest that the build is a “restoration,” rather than an actual historical build—and without any evidence that the version being recreated even existed to begin with, I'm hesitant to include it here.

I don’t understand you. Anyways, LogoBlocks was probably created by Playful Inventions… hmmm

yeah, 30Jun03 is likely the oldest ever scratch version but 11Oct03 is considered to be the “First version of scratch”. honestly i didn't really know about versions before 14feb2004 until it mention it was the “Third version” of scratch.

Who knows, there might be even older versions of scratch that we don't know about, maybe even from 2002?
Or maybe 30Jun03 is the oldest.
