Scratch Saving

I think it would be cool if Scratch could save all the data in it to a database on your computer. Like all the values of the variables, lists, etc. That would really improve all the Scratch OS's out there. But it would only save it when the save block was activated. I think it would be cool.

Well, you could compile all the data into a mega-list and use the export feature to, well, export it. To load the data, just ask the user to import the list, then click a button which would decompile the list into the variables.
It's quite simple, really.

There's an export feature?

Just right-click on the list watcher and select "Export." It's not particularly efficient, but it gets the job done  smile
