Useless Scratch facts # 2:


In Scratch 2, the "point towards" block has a hidden function for pointing in a random direction. There's nothing to suggest it was translated internally for other languages, so it was likely never intended to be included.

Remarkably, the functionality was brought over to 3.0 and an option for the dropdown menu was translated into every supported language. However, due to an oversight, the option was never included in the dropdown menu for the second time in a row.

So far, 4.0 doesn't include it either.

Let's play a game! Which one of these was rendered in Scratch 4.0 and which one was rendered in Unsandboxed?

If Scratch-Blocks 2.0 was nicknamed "spork" during development, what should I call this? spatula?

First look at a redesigned Scratch Cat, possibly for 4.0

The Scratch Team has just recently updated their Terms of Service yesterday, letting you know they now have full permission to use your content to train AI models.

Just looking at Snap! for inspiration-- wait a minute..

In case you need your heart broken, there's evidence to suggest Scratch Team were seriously considering allowing blocks to placed inside of variable dropdowns.

Evidently, that fell through. Something didn't work.

Testing out a new move! This move is for all characters

Useless Scratch facts # 1:

The order of the motion category blocks in Scratch 3 was changed from how they appeared in Scratch 2 in the 11th hour.

In the Scratch-Blocks 1.0 developer testing playground, the order is identical to Scratch 2.
