i waited all this time for them, what is the difference between REAL varibles and CLOUD ones?!?! All it really is is a picture of a cloud next to the varible. Its really boring. I want to know how to use them thats all
There's a big difference. Cloud variables are stored on the internet, while normal variables are just in your computer. If you reload a project page, normal variables are reset, but cloud ones remain the same.

Right...and that also means that the next person to run that project will see the same value of the variable that the person before them set it to. So that makes it possible to have games store the high-score of everybody that plays it.
However, this topic is a 2.0 topic - so it should really be taking place in the 2.0 forums. I'll close this one now; please feel free to reopen in the 2.0 forums if you have any more questions about them.
