Map Scratch

So way back in the days of scratch.cf, Djdolphin discovered something called Map Scratch. It was designed as a version of scratch that had Google Maps-type capabilities, but it looks like it was scrapped. It was once on the LLK website, but the link to the page is no longer there - however, with some Wayback Machine magic, I was able to find that the page still exists. https://llk.media.mit.edu/projects/3533/ This was the first clue. He was then able to find a video that claimed there was a testing subdomain for Map Scratch, which was actually quite simple: test.scratch.mit.edu. Unfortunately, the site no longer exists, but it did at one point and I'm too lazy to find the video. The good news is I'm pretty sure Djdolphin put an SWF of it on the FTP server for Scratch.cf, which I downloaded, and now to this day the SWF for Map Scratch still sits on the hard drive of my other computer, gathering dust.

So what happened to this project? Should there be a Scratch Wiki page for it? Discuss here.

I know this is a completely useless comment, but I'm going to say it anyways.

Remember I mentioned there was a video that mentioned the subdomain? Here it is. It's in swedish, but you can clearly see “test.scratch.mit.edu”. So there ya go, proof that it existed at one point.

Also I'm gonna upload the swf soon. I'm just really lazy and forgetful.

Make sure to upload the SWF, so we data hoarders can archive it and replicate it across 6 hard drives. You wouldn't want to lose it!

that's actually what happens when I dump data into my Syncthing folder. :P

Ok. It's on my other computer though, so I'll upload it when I get the chance.
