Scratch - The Journey

What Is It

This is a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that pays tribute to Scratch's birthday by ushering the players through a time capsule of its evolution. Starting from the very first prototype all the way to the current one, this project is a fascinating insight into the growth and development of one of the most loved creative coding platforms in the world. And this is not just a game: it is a monument erected for a community that gave birth to innumerable imagined worlds and smile lines.

How to Play

The experience is just as simple yet engaging with the gameplay. Move along the timeline by clicking on the right side of the screen or pressing the right arrow key. For a short guide about what the current slide signifies, or for that matter the whole screen of slides, you may click "Skip to Slide," which will present a map of the categories for five seconds, after which you may enter the slide number you want to jump to. The idea is to walk through different versions of Scratch and gain insight into their features and effects.

Tips & Tricks

• Take your time exploring each slide so that you get a good idea of the finer details and go through the historical context.
• If everyone is feeling creative, the program invites remixing. However, keep in mind that a proper remix means much more than simply switching backgrounds. Put your own spin on it so that the modified project file is quite distinct.
