Scratch

This is a thread where I will post all my ideas for 2.0 projects using the new features. If you have any other ideas tell me.

==========================

Idea 1: Online strategy game,

Due to the new cloud variable feature, you ca now make online games by using cloud variables to set co-ordinates for players and objects. It is quite slow to update so it would not work very well for a platformer, however this technique could be used for slow moving strategy games. It would be best to add a timer as people can often take too long on their moves, or be inactive. Such a game that could be made could be a online chess game

If scratch ever has the clone variable block you could make it so that if a game is full, a new game begins.

Idea 2: Chat rooms,

For Scratch 2.0 you can make a cloud list which can be used to make chat rooms, however most of the example chat rooms in the 2.0 prototype got spammed up with innapropriate comments so beware.

I know that currently the scratch team are reviewing making a username block but I have also thought of tracking the ip adresses and if the scratch team or moderators they can report the ip adress that only they see aka: moderators only cloud data.

Idea 3: Collab editable games, (only if username block added)

For this you can make a game that the creators can edit online but no one else can. To do this you could add.

Set editable to zero
If username = (list collab member)
Set editable to one

This could help for collab games where you can make a level editor where all the members of the collab can create levels for a game without constantly downloading, this can then be automatically put onto the game using cloud variables and generating the levels automatically using a variable.
