Scratch

1. per project
2. I don't know
3. ?? Explain.
4. Yes, but I don't know how.

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys. Just ignore #3, i'm not sure what I meant by that either, [removed by moderator] xD I can't wait for Scratch 2.0, I've been programming since I was 8 years old and Scratch got me started    I just came back because I've learned a lot since i left Scratch and want to share everything I know with the Scratch community.

Can someone please explain Cloud Variables to me?

Here are some things I'm dying to know about:

1. Will cloud variables be stored per project or per user?
2. Will there be cloud lists as well?
3. Will there be a way to see what user's variable it is?
4. Is there any way to create player "save files" using cloud variables?

Thank you for your help.

Per project

Yes
3
I don't understand

with a lot of programming, yes.

I actually doubt #2.  Lists would be harder to store in a database than variables, so you would have to somehow put all of the values of an array into a single variable if you wanted
or just use separate vars for each one

I saw it somewhere for lists... I thought that that's how the lists work in scratch, in squeak their concentrated into an array and through lots of programming they worked out the number in the lists. Also, I think that the cloud stuff will contribute to the size of the project and it's not that large to store a lot. After testing it, I found that each item in a list, when it's about 120 characters long, is about 3 bytes each, so I doubt it will be a problem.

1) Per project.
2) Yes.
4) I'm sure you could.
