💖 scratch(1) — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, this is scratch, straight out of the General Commands Manual, section 1. pull up a chair, grab a snack, we're doing this 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Scratch — an easy to use interactive programming environment for ages 8 and up. yes, EIGHT. and up. meaning you, right now, are legally allowed. slay 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Scratch is an easy, interactive, collaborative programming environment designed for creation of interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and sharing these on the web. like, ALL of it. stories? yes. games? yes. music? yes. art? yes. putting it on the internet so everyone can see? yes bestie ✨

Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. and the way that it does this?? when they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design. not me learning math on accident because I was busy making a cat walk across the screen 😭👑

This man page contains basic information about Scratch. For additional information, see the Scratch website at http://scratch.mit.edu. go. click. it's iconic.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the thing — there are no command line flags here, no cap. Options are set through the .scratch.ini file in the user's home directory. that's the move. that's where you customize. 💖

For instructions on how to edit this file, see http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Network_Installation.

fr fr, don't just start vibing in that file without reading the instructions first. read the link. it's giving "trust the process" 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug?? Please report bugs to the package maintainer. they want to know. they NEED to know. do not suffer in silence bestie, that's not the vibe 🫶

For the most recent version of this package, see http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Linux_installer.

🦋 FILES 🦋

here's where everything lives, so you can stop wondering:

• /usr/bin/scratch — scratch startup script. this is the one you actually run, the main character of the file system 👑
• /usr/lib/scratch/ — Contains Scratch.image (Squeak image containing Scratch code), and scratch.ini file. lowkey the whole brain of the operation 🧠✨
• /usr/share/scratch/ — Contains subdirectories with Scratch media library, sample projects, and language files. the closet full of fits 💅🌈
