My Scratch Ideas *UPDATED*
Scratch is a great programing platform, but like everything, it can be improved.
I have been thinking about this for a long time, and what you are about to read is what changes I think should happen.
1. It would be really cool if you could set up high scores on Scratch for your games. That way, you can easily keep track of who has "Mastered" your game, and to add a little exiting competition! Right now, you can always post look at posted scores, but the person who posted it might be lying. You never know.
2. If it would be possible to allow games on Scratch to interact with websites. I know that there has been talk of having Scratch communicate with some sites, but it should be able to communicate with ALL sites. Then not only would the projects on Scratch be a lot more interesting, but company's could use them to advertise, therefor making Scratch more popular and well known.
3. It would be interesting to see what people would do if it was possible for their games to read/interact with the comments it gets. (just a passing thought)
4.The ability to view projects full screen online! That way, you could view Scratch games at their best!
?. Last but not least, the ability to allow multiplayer games would be EPIC! Just imagine the possibilities!
Thank you for reading this! If you want to add on, comment!
PS.
In my first Scratch ideas post, I mentioned that it would be cool if Scratch archived their projects, but I learned that they do! Here are the links:

1. I need this for epic games.
2. No. This can lead to stuff like viruses and plus we don't like commercial advertising.
3. Might be useful.
4. Just download it.
?. Been suggested through the years of scratch. NetScratch would do it before but it was cancelled(?).

Re: My Scratch Ideas *UPDATED*
Yes, NetScratch was never officially released, but there is a leaked beta (and someone's making a NetScratch 1.4, can't remember who).
And Mesh should suffice for making multiplayer games. As Jonathanpb once said: "[Sharing broadcasts and variables] is really all you need - it's quite weird, isn't it?

(Note: that quote was off the top of my head (hence the square brackets).)
Yawn.
