Scratch

Plenty of people do this. The trick is that you don't reset variables when you click the green flag. Take a look at Colkadome's games; there's plenty with continue options. When I say continue, I mean that there's a feature that lets you go to where you got up to.

The problem is that you have to download to save your progress. Sure, you can click the green flag online, but it won't save when you leave the page. Or refresh the page; that'll reset the game also.

Anyway, how would the Scratch Team make the blocks?

i know thers a way to make save and load with out a auchel save and load block but i am a beginer and i have no idea how to*_*

What point thing? If you're talking about cookies, it wouldn't be that hard; people use cookies all the time.

The best way to do a save/load in scratch is by using a level code, I think. Level codes work online too.

whats a level code?            ?
                                     +_+

Ok... How to do it.

Make a list with all your level codes in it, named 'level codes'. Just make them random. The list should have as many items as you have levels. Item 1 of the list is the level code for level 1, 2 for 2 etc.

This is a script you could use:



When the user entered a correct level code, "start level" is broadcasted and the level number is in the variable "level"

(tell me when this has bugs in it    )

Adding cookies?

Maybe... but would it lag the Scratch website? What I mean by this is that there are hundreds of thousands of projects on the Scratch website; if there were cookies for every project (not every project would need them, but it wouldn't be able to sense which ones), wouldn't it lag the Scratch website?

Well you could select [_] Use cookies? when you upload it if they give that as an option...

Cookies for Scratch can be very similar to lists. Sample blocks for cookies in Scratch:

<cookie contains [ ] ?>
<cookie is [ older/newer ] than ( ) hours ?>
(element ( ) of cookie)
(length of cookie)
(cookie)
{Add ( ) to cookie}
{Replace element ( ) of cookie with [ ]}
{Delete whole cookie}
{Delete ( ) of cookie}
{Create cookie}
Legend = < > - Boolean (diamond-shaped block)
             (  ) - Variable
             {  } - Procedural block

dosnt matter jenuine mistake but good i dea

you would need internet acess for it though wouldn't you? (Cookies)  To be able to recognise an IP adress... then you run into the internet block, Scratch would need protection from viruses and the like...
