Suppose I created a project with 'accounts' and passwords, and the passwords are stored in a cloud list. If someone saw inside the project, they would have access to all the passwords. What I propose is an option for 'locked' cloud variables. The values of these would not be accessible to anyone but the creator of the project. However, this would not change Scratch's core values; because if someone tried to view or change these, a notification box would appear with 'The creator of this project has locked these variables. To change the values, you must erase the(or create a new) cloud variable/list.'
Please note that locking/unlocking data would be an option. If the creator chose to use unlocked data, the values could be changed by anyone. Also, the values may be changed by the original program. Also, mods could see locked data (yes, the magical fix for any suggestion. tongue ).

You could always encode the passwords using an encoder/decoder script...

Then they'd just check the script to see the method of encrypting though.

I support.

I support! This is exactly what I need to make the big project I wanted to make.

Not sure if I'm fully supporting this...yet.

One thing lightnin told me was that there will most likely be a Boolean sensing block for the player's scratch username. So you could make an "If username=stevetheipad, show" script. However, a person could download, change the = value to their username and see the sprite.

It wouldn't be able to report your username offline, since, well, it's offline. Unless you for some reason have to log in offline, but that defeats the whole point of having it offline.

Though they could just tick the box which determines whether it's showing or hiding...

And it's a reporter you're thinking of, not a boolean.

I'm already 99.999999999% sure this will already have been thought of by the ST.
But if it hasn't been, I support

Exactly. I couldn't think of any way to prevent the problems I presented while still encouraging remixes. Oh, and where did lightnin tell you about the username thing?

ya i support i can make a mmo with this

scimonster · 2012-05-13 04:42:25

This probably won't happen. hmm It's still keeping information secret, and could be abused.
Also, the user could just get around it with

say (☁ passwords)

You just have to hash them.

I support.

But if it were hashing, it wouldn't be crackable.

when 2.0 comes out somebody in AT surely will make a script smile

How do you 'hash' info in Scratch? The only reason I suggested this was because of a project I want to make that uses accounts.
