Scratch

Greetings,
I am Jnx and I would just like to ask this very question, it is quite an advanced feature and I do not even know if it actually can exisit! But I will try. Does Scratch run a server? So can scratch basically interact or hold over one player and they are able to communicate? If this is possible, I think it would be one of the greatest scratch inventions yet.

Do you mean something like Scratch Live?

Please don't use Scratch Live... It's very slow and absolutely nothing is secure.

Anyways: Yes, there are such things as "Scratch Servers". I use a server for Scratch to connect to for my Chat.PY project. Bobbybee is also creating a server for a multiplayer game. I'm also creating a multiplayer game (Virtual Space), but it isn't in active development at the moment.

Scratch also has a built in Mesh feature which you can host servers on Scratch with. But I use that feature to connect to a non-Scratch coded server (I code my servers in Python, bobbybee codes his in C).

But a "Scratch Server" is kind of vague, could you explain a little more? Do you have a project you want to make multiplayer?

Well yes, I was checking if it was actually possible, seeing as I have never seen a working multiplayer project.

I can give examples. Just ask me or Magnie, as we have all the answers to all your questions.

There are a few multiplayer projects out there, but not very many are popular, since there isn't a "public server" for them. There have been many attempts to make some, but none have finished, and very few have working projects (mine works, but it isn't finished, nor does it work very well).

If you have experience in networking, I'm sure many people would want you as a helper in their projects.

Mmm.. Networking, If you go on Wiki it tells you quite a lot about Mesh.

I am trying to work something like this out as well. smile

I'm experienced in networking, but not really experienced in Python or C. The only programming language that I know that you can use with Scratch Networking is C++ (Wait, C++ is based upon C, isn't it?), and I don't even really know howto use C++!

You can connect to Scratch with any programming language that supports sockets. smile

Maybe I should try something like this...
