Scratchpad is a stand-alone application for viewing and editing Wildermyth data. It is full of fun toys!
In order to run it, you need to have java installed.
Then, double click on scratchpad.jar to run it!
It should open up in a window and it will look something like this:
Each of those buttons will take you to a dedicated screen, that has some past or current usefulness. They're generally pretty rough and inconsistent, because they are mostly tools that were written to enable to do exactly one thing. But a few of the screens have general and ongoing usefulness.
From any screen, press the Back button in the lower left to go back to this index screen.
