Scratch

If you want multiplayer right now then try chalkmarrow's snyff program. It functions in the same way that mesh in scratch 1.4 does. If you are not able to make programs with snyff then you probably won't be able to make multiplayer games in scratch 1.4.

Mesh is a hidden feature. You have to hold shift and click share.

Those variables are received from connected computers.

When a computer joins a mesh server, all of its variables are added to the mesh server computer. This means that you must have 2 computers to use mesh or add variables.

I saw that you posted a project, did you podt that with 1.4? And if you can, does its features work online?
I might test that out, if Im allowed to.

1.4 features don't work online yet

Sad... I'd love to see what 1.4 is capable of in the flesh.

They will get it working online soon enough - that's part of the vision of scratch

It would be sad if that vision of scratch didn't come true (not to jinx anything). The new features that I have been hearing the beta testers explain sound extrordinary! I can't wait until Scratch 1.4 projects are available to be shared online!

Yea the mesh thing is complicated looking.

True but maybe the Scratch team will make the Mesh feature automatic so that you wont have to be host, search for people, ect. Maybe that will be true on Scratch 1.5 !

Having 2 computers is pretty much a requirement for mesh programming.

Me and my friend made a chatroom in 20 minutes.

Actually, my first project will probably be a chatroom...it will have an extra feature that nobody's mentioned yet, so I assume it's original.  I'm not telling anybody what it is, though...

Great thinking ahead! Is a chatroom hard to make though?

Making a chatroom isn't too hard

I don't have one saved but this is what the code would look like

Also you need 2 projects, the host and the client projects

Chatters use the client project, and the host uses the host project to host the chatroom

For the host

When green flag clicked
forever if ( not(lastReceivedMessage=sensor(client- sentMessage)){
set lastRecievedMessage to sensor(client- sentMessage)
}

For the client

When green flag clicked
ask (what is your username?) and wait
set username to (answer)
set sentMessage to (Join(username) and (:has joined the room))
forever{
ask (Enter your message) and wait
set sentMessage to (join (username)and (join(   and (answer)))
}
}

When green flag clicked
forever if ( not(last value of list(chatroom)=sensor( host- lastReceivedMessage)){
add sensor(host- lastRecievedMessage) to list (chatroom)
}

That is about as easy as it gets

Not sure if this particular script will work but it should. I just haven't tested it.

Ok, I just built these projects and yes the scripts work

It may be easy but a lot of people won't be able to come up with code like this from their head.

I think that the newest beta may have fixed some of the mesh bugs. I am not 100% sure, that it seems that way. Hopefully the final version will be good enough to use

Easier than I thought! Thanks!
