Questions for History of Scratch.

To prevent spam of Scratch History questions, here are some answers of the questions people may ask.
1. What was Cloud Data made for, when was it made, and what was it oringally called?
Cloud data was first made so others could see the way you used variables, and the same way in reverse. (correct me if I'm wrong) Cloud data was made in an early alpha in late 2011, according to the Scratch Version Archive, and was first called Persistent Data. Another thing that tells you they were called Persistent Data is the line of code in the Project.JSON: isPersistent=
2. What was Scratch first called?
Building Block Programming
3. Has there really ever been an early alpha of Scratch 2.0 written in Squeak?
We don't know. There could be one lying around somewhere.
If you have any other history questions: Tell me and I will add it to the list.

Questions for History of Scratch.

1) Where did you get that info from? Also, persistent variables? Too complicated for new scratchers and young children.
2) Wrong. Building Block Programming is a completely different language. I managed to see it's site in 2005 on the Wayback Machine.
3) idk

That's probably why it's called cloud data now.

1) wrgsfhwbxvb
2) Weeknend by andresmh. However, if you're talking about the first project EVER, there was this project on the ScratchR alpha site on the wayback machine called “Lil' Devil and Angel”. I checked the URL and sure enough, it had an ID of 1. (Don't search it up, it's not on the site)

It's 2001 (Scratch 0.01 NOT 0.1), but the video only goes back to 2004 (Early 0.2 prototypes and 0.2 actual release (which is what I have)) and later (1.0 betas)

Actually there were some 0.1 prototypes because 0.1 didn't have a block palette.

1) Cool! I'll check it out.
2) Really? The earliest I hear about scratch is from 2002. I also downloaded a scratch proposal pdf on my tablet.
3) At least we have AS3 (but I would prefer HTML5 or JS). Squeak is based off early 80s technology.

Also, the website for the archive no longer works so go to the google drive thing.

I thought 0.1 was in black and white. And the video says 2004 while 0.1 is from 2003…
I have Scratch 0.2, stil want to get my hands on 0.1 and maybe even 0.01.
EDIT: The default sprite was the early version of the Scratch Cat, while in 0.1, it is a car.
