Is there a way to make an online game?

I really need to be able to have multiple players in one game without them being on the same computer. Is that possible? Or is there some sort of work around? Thanks in advance if anyone answers, i'd be pretty happy with that.

It's possible using Mesh, read this: http://scratch.mit.edu/forums/viewtopic.php?id=32046

Using mesh can allow you to connect multiple people together using the internet and their IP addresses.

Mesh can be complicated to input it in projects and use. You can search up Tuts on Mesh on the Scratch website.  smile

Mesh is good, but I've heard that it isn't so powerful - a hundred users in one session would be rather impossible.  sad
Even twenty, maybe...

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
