You can download Scratch 2.0 from the website. You can also still use Scratch 1.4. Note: You can have both Scratch 1.4 and 2.0 on your computer.", "faq.uploadOldTitle":"Can I still upload projects created with older versions of Scratch to the website?", "faq.uploadOldBody":"Yes - you can share or upload projects made with earlier versions of Scratch, and they will be visible and playable. (However, you can’t download projects made with or edited in later versions of Scratch and open them in earlier versions. For example, you can’t open a Scratch 2.0 project in Scratch 1.4, because Scratch 1.4 doesn’t know how to read the .sb2 project file format.)", "faq.recordVideoTitle":"Can I record a video of my Scratch project?", "faq.recordVideoBody":"Yes, you can record a video of your Scratch project up to 60 seconds. In the Scratch editor, from the File menu, select \"Record Project Video.\" (You need to be signed in to see this option.) You can choose additional recording options (such as recording sound and mouse clicks) through the \"More Options\" menu. Then, run your project however you'd like. Once the recording is done, follow the instructions to download the file to your computer. Depending on what kind of computer you have, you may need to download another program like the VLC Media Player to play the file. This file will run on YouTube, Vimeo, and Facebook, but may need to be converted for other websites like Twitter or Tumblr.", "faq.scratchCostTitle":"How much does Scratch cost? Do I need a license?", "faq.scratchCostBody":"Scratch is and always will be free. You don’t need a license to use Scratch in your school, home, or anywhere else.

Every project shared to the Scratch website can be remixed. We consider even a minor change to be a valid remix, as long as credit is given to the original project creator and others who made significant contributions to the remix.", "faq.remixableTitle":"Why does the Scratch Team require that all projects be “remixable”?", "faq.remixableBody":"We believe that viewing and remixing interesting projects is a great way to learn to program, and leads to cool new ideas.

(Note that we don't promote New Scratchers to Scratcher on request - even when bribed with fancy chocolates.)", "faq.multipleAccountTitle":"Can I have more than one account?", "faq.multipleAccountBody":"It's fine to have a few accounts on the Scratch website, as long as none of them are used to break the Community Guidelines. In that case, all related accounts may be blocked or deleted.", "faq.multipleLoginTitle":"Is it OK to have more than one person logged into an account?", "faq.multipleLoginBody":"This is discouraged, because the website and project editor can easily get confused when more than one person is logged into the same account.", "faq.changeUsernameTitle":"Can I change my username?", "faq.changeUsernameBody":"The structure of the Scratch website depends on having a consistent account name, so it’s not possible to change your username.

When they login, they see a page that explains why the account was blocked with a web form they can use to request to be unblocked. If the owner can show that they understand why their account was blocked, and promises to follow the community guidelines in the future, the Scratch Team will review their case. Accounts will only be unblocked in cases where the account owner’s word can be trusted.

However, some Scratchers are coming up with creative ways to use the cloud data for turn-by-turn and other games.", "faq.cloudLagTitle":"How long does it take for cloud data to reach another Scratcher?", "faq.cloudLagBody":"It depends. If both Scratchers have a reasonably fast Internet connection (DSL/Cable), and there are no restrictive firewalls on the computers/network, updates should be transmitted in milliseconds. However, a lot of computers have firewall software running in them, and if the firewall software blocks outgoing connections to TCP port 531 and TCP port 843, the time-lag becomes one-second. We are currently trying to figure out ways in which we can work around this limitation.", "faq.schoolsTitle":"Scratch in Schools", "faq.howTitle":"How is Scratch used in schools?", "faq.howBody":"Scratch is used in thousands of schools around the world, in many different subject areas (including language arts, science, history, math, and computer science).
