How do I make a save system in scratch?
How can I make a script that allows users to save their project without using that outdated NetScratch?

Re: How do I make a save system in scratch?
There is a project that uses a save system out there, I heard, but I'm currently blocked on the projects section.

Hmmm... maybe you could try storing information in a list?

I saw a project once that you could export... search Jasper's stuff and look for something titled "Save and Load".
I think that was the name...

Here's the project: Save and Load (Yep, you got the name right. 
)

Re: How do I make a save system in scratch?
There are numerous ways to write everything into a single list. But this varies from project to project. In terms of actually writing lists or scratch projects to the disk using a script, you'll need to hack squeak. I may be able to help you with this... but first, what exactly do you want to do?

Re: How do I make a save system in scratch?
There are a few ways. One of the simplest ways is to just not reset every time the green flag is clicked. There's another way that resembles some flash games. (I'll quickly explain here:)
1. Make a list for your save file
2. Create the algorithm to figure out what the information means
(saving instructions)
3. Use the algorithm to record variables in the list
4. Export the list to a place that you will remember
(loading instructions)
3. Import the list
4. Use the algorithm to set the variables to the information in this list
