Not that I'm aware of. You can make it so that they can only run the project with a password though. Try this.

1. Replace ALL your "When Green Flag clicked" blocks with a When I recieve Start and put this block underneath all of them: wait until <password=1>

2. Make a new sprite. YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
    a. Create a new sprite with the paint editor (click on the paint new sprite button)
    b. When the window is OPEN click on the paint new sprite button AGAIN
    c. Press OK. In the VERY CENTER of the screen there should be a completely white
square sprite that does not appear in the sprite selection section. Double click on it.

3. Add THIS SCRIPT:
When Green Flag clicked:
hide
set password to 0
ask "What is the password" and wait
if password = 0
   broadcast Start
   if NOT answer = "(whatever password you want)"
      forever
      set password to 0
   else
      set password to 1

4. Drag the hidden sprite to a corner and make sure it is hidden.

This will make it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for anyone but someone who knows the password to view your project.

Couldn't you just view the scripts and see the password?

You can't.


But they could still broadcast Start!

Maybe you could make each script begin with:

[When I receive START]
[if (password = ______)]

But I still don't see how they couldn't just look at the scripts and see the password.

I actually know a way to make the hidden sprites show up. Open a blank project, delete the default sprite, then go to File > Import project. Select the project with the hidden sprites and press OK. Every hidden sprite will show up in the list.

It's not convenient, and you need to know that there's hidden sprites in the project before you'll ever actually use it, but it works.

I want to make a game where you can ask a spite a question, and it will answer it. Is there a way to make like this:
If answer has (a word) and (a word) in it, say yes
So that someone could type in a sentence, and it wouldn't have to be exactly how I wrote it in Scratch.

It would be pretty difficult. First of all, Scratch doesn't recgonize spaces, so you would have to put all the letters of the answer in a list, and string them together into words. I might be able to figure something out though...
