So what I'm trying to make is a chartroom program, which includes admins and moderators, so I'm just wondering if I could obfuscate or encrypt the code to stop people making bad changes to the script, like being able to delete others messages, so that there is a password required to modify list contents. Is it possible to do this? If so how and if not are there any supported modifications/tools for this? Please answer (this project is for 2.0).

Only you will be able to manually modify the cloud data of your project. When someone decides to "look inside" your project and modify the scripts, it's only altered on their side and it won't actually modify the cloud data for your project. So there isn't any need to obfuscate the scripts. smile

Ok, thanks. I didn't really see the alpha for 2.0 so I'm not so sure about 2.0. Is it possible to create and save data, like a game, for a client? Like a scratcher wants to make an account, so that every time he/she views the project? And most interesting would be to keep a project, but update it so it's the same project but updated like remix but keep the project? Do we have to do a deletion? Is it possible to do it online too? Like:

create new variable <join [data ](displayname)> //or even better:
create new list <join [data of ](displayname)> //a list containing data of the scratcher
encrypt [list v] <join [data of](displayname)> password [12345abc] //and make it a password protected list

There is going to be a user_id block that you can use to see the ID of the viewer. More information is on the link. But you can use that and lists combined to save games.

It's probably discouraged to save passwords. What you will want to use (if you do use passwords) is hash them.

^^
The User-ID block is your best option. Get the project to show what your user-id is, then ask your friends (who you wish to make moderators) what their user-ids are. Using a script, allow changes to be made only by users with the user-ids found in a list (the list of the moderators ids). This means you don't need to worry about encrypting passwords/usernames and still have limited usability for non-moderators.
