The Block Coding Archive Museum
Run many early Scratch builds online (or just download them)!
Website made by @CST1229. Inspired by
Naleksuh's Scratch archive.
Thanks to everyone who archived these builds over the years; especially @djdolphin who got most Scratch 2.0 and 1.x builds, and the rest of The Block Coding Archive
team for some other finds (like the LogoBlocks builds and 11Oct03).
All icons are from the Silk icon set. You might have seen them before.
The modified dates of some, but not all, files have been preserved. You can
check by hovering over the
icon next to each file. If it shows a last modified date from 2017 or later,
its modified date most likely hasn't been preserved.
Scratch 1.x builds
- When you run a build, it gets downloaded into the filesystem,
which is stored in browser storage. You can access it by clicking the
button in the bottom right corner.
You can use this to clean up unused versions, upload/download projects you've
saved or rerun versions you've run before.
- .zip files usually contain a .image and .changes file. These can be
opened with a Squeak VM like the Scratch 1.4 .exe by dragging and
dropping the .image onto the .exe.
- Lone .image files can also be opened in a Squeak VM, but they don't
contain the full source code or version history.
- .exe files are installers.
- .sit and .dmg files are for Mac OS.
- .tgz files are for Linux, but the .image file inside can still be run
after extracting it.
- .xo files are for the OLPC XO, but the .image file inside can still be run after extracting it (it's
just a zip file).
- .zip, .image and .xo files are run online using SqueakJS.
Scratch 2.0 builds
- .swf files are run online using Ruffle. While it kinda works now, there still are issues (e.g sound is
missing). You can instead download the .swf files and run them in a
standalone Flash player, which you can download from e.g here:

- All the "Scratch Unlabelled" builds and Scratch Raspberry Pi.swf were
originally called just Scratch.swf, and renamed by me. I added the
suffix to make it clearer.
