Live updates. Scratch needs 'em.

Hey I love scratch and everything. Don't you? It's awesome! But one thing I think is missing is live updates. I'm talking like Facebook does. Because no live updates is a pain in the neck for people who do RPGs.

Real-Life Example:

   taylorswift1321: "So how was everybody's morning session?" Violet asked.
   Agg725: "Awesome! I can't believe I made that three-pointer backwards!" Kaitlynn had                  obviously forgotten who she was talking to.
   taylorswift1321: "Ah, nice. I'm very glad you enjoyed basketball. Well-" Suddenly the fire alarm went off. The teachers supervising quickly got the girls into a straight line and out of the building.
    Agg725: "I can't wait til we do volleyball this afternoon!" Kaitlynn turned around and spiked an imaginary ball. Then she sat down.

See what I mean? the last comment didn't fit with the storyline. Why did I post that then? I didn't see the comment about the fire alarm. Scratch team, if you could please
consider putting live updates on the scratch website (I don't care if I have to wait for 2.0)
that would be a blessing to all my fellow RPG players, and everyone else. Scratch on, okay peeps? See ya around!

Re: Live updates. Scratch needs 'em.

i dont think its worth the money, time, and effort on the part of the Scratch Team to make this. Just go use facebook, skype, or tinychat.

But I have to ask my parents to make an account on anything, and I KNOW they'll say no to facebook. and they usually say no to everything else.

you dont need an account on tinychat, they let you use "Guest".

But that's too bad. I guess I didnt really think of that...

I know in 2.0 there will be "cloud data" which will update every two seconds so thats kinda like live chat. and some people have made chatrooms already.

yeah I made a project like that (one I didn't share) and titled it: for use in the future scratch- 2.0 That would be pretty nice for RPGs, definitely. (where would they put the bio then? I guess they could make a separate gallery)

why is it unsafe? all it means is that you don't have to reload the page to see comments written after you loaded the page

If you see the person you're talking with that would be unsafe. The other person could find out some personal information.

not what I was saying at all. you don't see the person, you just see what they post as soon as they post it. you're misinterpreting what I said.

True,anyway...You can already talk... But this suggest to be live-updated.

Re: Live updates. Scratch needs 'em.

When you respond to a previous post, but when you post, there is another post already there.

What Agg725 means is that you wouldn't have to refresh the page to see new comments. How is that unsafe??
