A Scratch microworld was a version of the Scratch editor that contained a small set of blocks for making projects based on a theme. [1] It has a limited palette of blocks, to reduce the number of blocks a Scratcher has to dig through.
The name "microworld" came from combining "micro" and "world", which symbolized a world that teaches powerful ideas, yet having a limited scope. Interest-based microworlds were microworlds aimed at a specific interest or goal, like animation.
The account microworlds was the owner of these official Microworld projects. This page still attempts to load a Microworld from this account, specifically Dress Up Microworld Project, although the page would look like the normal editor.
Some Microworld draft projects can be found in this studio; it was possible to view a simplified version of any project at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed-editor/NUMBER/?isMicroworld=true, where NUMBER is the project's ID.[2] However, as of January 2024, the URL address will redirect to the normal project page.
