Internet Blocks?

Me friend scratchU8 posted this ( http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/scratchU8/1997985 ) awhile ago. It's two awesome scripts that I think Scratch needs. I was wondering just as much the difficulty of proggramming this sort of thing as the possibility it'd come out in 2.0. though, I've had a go at real coding myself before. But these scripts would bring a huge range of possibilities to the Scratch program. It would be cool to have some sort of (search random player) to pick a random Scratcher playing the same project, or even if you could have (search for user [pinkglamgrrl]) and (set Player [1] to [pinkglamgrrl]) (Just using you as an example, P.G.G.). The main way I reckon you could do it would be by having, say... A 'parent' sprite controlled by scripting put directly to the scripts box. Then you could have 'child' sprites with the script (copy object 'Sprite1') which would give them the exact same scripts, EXCEPT they would also have a script saying (set control to Player [1]), which in this case is 'pinkglamgrrl'. You get?

Re: Internet Blocks?

I know, i would like this too. It would make 2+ player mesh games MUCH easyer.


I'm back.
Maybe.

Yup. But ya gotta consider Scratch Team and the difficulty of coding that into the Scratch program.

Re: Internet Blocks?

support. Yesterday I was daydreaming about a game called "Jiggworld", an MMOG where you could draw your own jiggler, customise it with accersories and fight evil with weapons!

In fact, we should design a game like that together some day- could turn out great.

True, but it would require so many variables, sprites, projects and other, without the script ideas or any other developements.

In fact, I have a bit of spare time with my other RPGs still being sprited and designed by fellow team members right now, so... Ready when you are, really.

Yes, there are many other programs to use... But a) alot of people only have access to Scratch because it's educational and b) Scratch is very easy to use, so many would favor it over many other programs to create games in.

Re: Internet Blocks?

Panther has some blocks similar to this, except the ones for the internet are read-only

Re: Internet Blocks?

Well, I'm glad someone likes my block. I also posted another block as like, one of my first projects, but I think that's gonna be in 2.0.

Re: Internet Blocks?

i think they could do it with the cloud variables and username block

and you could do it like this (when scratch 2 comes out)

when flag clicked
add username to [cloud]names

and then you could say item 2 of [cloud]names

and it would say "scratchu8" or something
