You know what you clicked on. You want to know about my old Scratch account and the treasures hidden inside. Before we get deep into it, let’s get into a bit of history.
A bit of history
And for that, we need to go back to November 2018. Scratch 3.0 was on the way, the Scratch community reached 30 million shared projects, and on a rainy day on the 29th, I created my first Scratch account, @Go_34. Throughout the next year and a half, I created several projects, but I never shared one. Later on, I got a new computer. I had an issue with the computer and had to create a new profile on it. However, I couldn’t transfer everything over, and that included all the passwords stored in the password manager, and I had forgotten the password to both my email and Go_34 a few months prior.
Fast-forward to April 4th, 2020, and I created a new account, which was my current one, @TheGlassPenguin. And here we are at the present date. A few months ago, I emailed the Scratch Team with Contact Us, and I received an email response that wasn’t much help, simply telling me to try the normal password reset. I couldn’t, however, because I didn’t have access to the email account linked to Go_34. Eventually, I sent several emails to the service I had my old email account on, and after another month of being stuck in tech support hell, they set my old email’s recovery address to my current one, and I just ran the password reset for my email as normal, and then ran the password reset on Go_34. And here we are at the present date.
Anyway, what’s in the account? Well, let’s explore some of them.
Projects
Basic Windows Simulator
This one has to be my favorite. I saw one of the many OS projects out there and set out to make my own. Honestly, it came out a little worse than I wanted, but I still like it nonetheless. It was originally made on May 19th, 2019.
Number Guessing Computer Prototype
This is a relatively early prototype of Number Guessing Computer. Here are the main differences:
- The computer sprite looks completely different.
- There are a few seconds before you see if your guess was right.
- No score gimmick
Hall of Doors
This is a platformer I made with a tutorial I found somewhere on the Internet, and it only has three levels. You should know how to play. :P
Traffic Dodge
This was a quickly-made Frogger clone. Except the frog looks… I don’t even know what it even is. Just press the arrow keys to move and don’t run out of lives.
And that’s everything I’m going to share – for now :). Maybe stay tuned? Thanks for reading!
