Working on Multiplayer Game for 2.0...

I'm beginning a virtual world for Scratch 2.0, and I've run into a problem: How do I make it have infinite players? I don't really understand the clone blocks, and if they're the answer, someone tell me how, but if they're not, still please help! How do I do this????

Re: Working on Multiplayer Game for 2.0...

Use cloud lists to store all the player stuff(i.e. score,place,level etc),and then use a sprite to stamp all the players info on the screen(using the data from the cloud of course)

hope this helps (by the script workshop)

I don't mean to break your idea, but cloud variables only update every 2 seconds, so a MMORPG is basically impossible.

cloning is not fully supported in 2.0,only partially.
