Scratch Player
Whilst surfing the scratch site, I noticed that lots of projects have been copied and mistreated. I got an idea for 'Scratch Player'. Maybe Scratch could make it. People could specify whether it could be downloaded for Scratch Player or Scratch. That way, if people wanted their project left alone, they could say it only runs in the player. Basically, it's like viewing the project online, but it's downloaded (and therefore faster), can't be edited, and can run fullscreen. This would be good if you spent ages on a project. People could download it to make it play faster, and no-one could edit it. I think this is a sensible idea. Maybe it'll happen one day (Nudge nudge, wink wink, Scratch).

Re: Scratch Player
The best cure against copiers is just not paying attention to them!
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: Scratch Player
Having code that can't be shared goes against the pedagogical philosophy of the Scratch team. They *want* people to look at each other's code!

Re: Scratch Player
Kevin is right, sharing and learning from others is one of the core principles of Scratch. If you want to hear an inspiring talk about the issue of remixing you should see this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/187
