How do I make a chat room?
I think the title explains it.

Re: How do I make a chat room?
I think the only effective way would be to use Mesh, but I haven't used it before. Sorry.

Use mesh. But mesh allows you to only share broadcasts and variable values so you can set variable value to message or convert the massage into numbers and have the technique to convert the value back to numbers when the massage is recieved.

It would be difficult, and as the above posters said you would have to use Mesh. Unfortunately, Mesh isn't actually officially supported by the Scratch team, so you won't be able to upload it to the website.

Re: How do I make a chat room?
The simple way to make a chatroom is to use mesh(ditto to everyone) and then use a list.
Just make a big list that fills up the screen, and make a chatbox(an askbox in this case) that sends out a variable called my_a to the other computer, and the other computer does the same thing except sends out a variable called your_a. After the messages are received, then you can just put them on the list.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Maybe this thread can explain it to you - basically, it's a way of making two or more computers connect with eachother.

I thought the Scratch Team didn't allow chatrooms?

I think what the user is referring to is programming a chatroom in Scratch - the Scratch team just won't create an "official" chatroom.
