Predecessor	Scratch 16Mar04
Successor	Scratch 22Dec04

Scratch 13Oct04, released on October 13, 2004, was the release of Scratch following Scratch 16Mar04 and preceding Scratch 22Dec04. Scratch 13Oct04 was the first release to be distributed publicly and had an interface resembling newer Scratch versions. It is sometimes called Scratch 0.2.

It has been speculated that the currently available build of 13Oct04 is actually a renamed Scratch 01Oct04 and that the actual 13Oct04 is lost; however, little evidence exists to back up such a claim.

Features

Scratch 13Oct04 had 8 categories: motion, control, looks, 1-2-3, media, sensing, scripts, and variables. Almost all UI elements were moved from their positions in Scratch 14Feb04, most of which are still in the 13Oct04 spot currently. Scratch 13Oct04 contained 95 blocks, adding 52 new blocks since Scratch 14Feb04. The procedure feature (Scripts category) is still available.

Example script

Here is a program written in this version of Scratch:

A screenshot of the example script.

when [go] shouted:: #9c00ce
deleteAllClones:: #66b3cc
repeat [75]:: #ff9431
  clone:: #66b3cc
  forward [50]:: #66b3cc
  if (on edge?:: #638cb5):: #ff9431
    turn right (pick random (90) to (270):: #638cb5):: #66b3cc
  end
end

Here is the Scratch 3.0 equivalent:

when gf clicked
repeat (75)
  create clone of (myself v)
  move (50) steps
  if <touching (edge v)?> then
    turn right (pick random (90) to (270)) degrees
  end
end
