No one really ever talks about this amazing underrated cat. Inspration: I was just about to code a project and delete the automatic scratch cat whne i suddenly wondered the history of this cat! After a lot of reasearching I wanted to share the information and make a whole project for our good old friend the scratch cat! I hope you guys find this fun and informative!
;) Couldnt find enough info, here is what i got: Scratch Cat Scratch Cat is a friendly cartoon character that represents the Scratch platform and often appears in tutorials, projects, and the Scratch website. The character embodies the spirit of creativity and exploration that Scratch promotes among its users. Scratch itself is aimed primarily at children and beginners, helping users to develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills through creative projects. Description Origin Scratch Cat was introduced alongside the initial release of Scratch in 2007. The character was created to embody the playful and creative spirit of the Scratch platform, helping to make the coding environment approachable and engaging for young learners. Evolution Over the years, Scratch Cat has undergone various visual updates to align with the evolving design language of the Scratch platform. Despite these changes, Scratch Cat has retained its core characteristics, including its distinctive orange color and expressive facial features. Appearance Evolution of design Scratch Cat's designs have changed over the years. Scratch 1.x - 2007 In Scratch 1.x in 2007, Scratch only could be used in Bitmap, so the features of Scratch Cat could not be modified. Scratch Cat appeared as an anthropomorphic tabby cat with two Costumes, both representing Scratch Cat walking, it had a smiley mouth and a brown nose, white underbelly and end of tail, all representing a cat, a noticeable feature is that Scratch Cat's left leg (at the right side of the screen) was in-front of his torso. Scratch 2.0 - 2003 in Scratch 2.0, Scratch received a major update, allowing users to use Vector (SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics) so it was more editable. Scratch Cat maintained its 1.0 design, although being Vector instead of Bitmap. Scratch 3.0 - 2018-Current Scratch Cat had a miniature remake, altering its appearance just a tiny bit. List of changes Its eyes faced slightly to the right, although keeping the pupils at the bottom Its left leg was merged into the torso The mouth was slightly moved and rounded The nose was the same color as the outline The outline was bluish and more thick It used more roundish edges Removed the extra lines Some things were a result of the whole vector system changing, such as the rounded edges of the outlines.
