Re: A Scratch Network? Would be a good idea for Version 1.5

No, you don't have to change the source, unless your wanting Mesh, otherwise you don't need to.

I've done it in my 1.4 image file. it's there.... it's that or i copied it from 1.4RC. Either way I stupidly pasted it into my REAL image file. (facepalm)

Re: A Scratch Network? Would be a good idea for Version 1.5

Someone should make a hack that adds a new variable scope- network variables. Also, they could add a [broadcast ( stuff ) to network] block. It would communicate only with other copies of the same program running on a local network. Each project would have to have a unique code to make it recognize other copies to be identical, though.

I have been thinking about this alot and wanted the opinion of everyone else. What scratch needs is a network. What I mean by this is a network that could connect others using blocks in a program. For example, a chatroom project could have actual peple chatting on it. This could mabey be possible like having a block called "send variable (variable)" where the variabe is sent through the network and gets received by mabey a block called "receive variable (variable). This is just an idea, but it would be cool if this was added to the next scratch update (mabey 1.5?).

This sounds like a great idea for Scratch, but I think there is two problems associated with this. First, this will need many more moderators than the Scratch team already has. Also, it will cause alot more work for the Scratch team. Scratch is already great! Besides, there are many other websites that are better than Scratch for chat.

1) it wouldn't have to be just chat, you could make an online multiplayer racing game, it could send the X and Y values of each player to each other
2)you could do what youtube does and have it community monitored
