In each project, each viewer gets an id. It is the same each time they view the project. It was what the scratch team decided on instead of the username block.

Its like a (username) reporter except the username is encrypted so people dont abuse it

I didn't know there was this block in 2.0! that's so cool! Now we can make valid highscores and chatrooms.

But the username won't be accessible. hmm

unless the ID is determined by algorithm from the username which is unlikely. But I don't see how it could be abused badly.

Not really, unless you want the highscores to look like

1st place: gj04u40f
2nd place: r34rg9r

or whatever the user ID looks like.

you could have each user create his or her own username within the project. for example when a new user is detected, it asks for a name, and that name is used instead of the hash

thebriculator · 2012-08-10 22:18:35

exactly. and in the list, there is [username: score] for each user, and only once for each user

if you open your user pic it will say some thing like this in the url:http://scratch.mit.edu/static/icons/buddy/278575_med.png?t=2012-08-08+11%3A29%3A41 (what is bold is the id)

thebriculator · 2012-08-10 23:04:05

or if you click "see more" on your friends list or look at all your comments you will also see your user ID

Something like that, but it won't be the same for each project.

benjamin2 · 2012-08-11 07:57:03

User ID I believe works like:

The first user to view it gets 1.
The next gets 2, and so on.
If a user loads a project again, they have the same ID as last time.
If you are playing offline or are not logged in, the ID is 0.

The projects don't use that ID though, because it could be abused.
Every project will use different IDs for the same user!

roijac · 2012-08-11 16:48:28

Maybe there are random numbers generator in python...
They can easily store those numbers on the servers, it's about <100kb per VERY active users, when using 64 bit integers. (which are by far enough)
Anything else, like a secret algorithm, would be pretty privacy dangerous...

For chatrooms, you can hash the ids and store them with usernames, after validating that the user is really the user with a secret word or so.

Not me!

I want a true User Name block.

I, honestly, see way less ways for abuse with it.

If anyone makes a project like: if (username) = (BoltBait) then be mean
everyone will be able to easily see it in the code and report the project. If, on the other hand, we have to prompt for a username to create a high score table, and someone enters a bad word, who gets in trouble when a game displays it? And, how would something like that even get reported?

This is really disappointing.
