Ever wanted to chat with other Scratchers? With Mesh Chat, you can!
Have you wanted to meet a Scratch user and wished you talk to him/her? With a1130's Mesh Chat 1.0, you can do so. Using a LAN (Local Area Network/Internet Connection) and Scratch's ability to use Mesh, host a mesh chatting party with Mesh Chat and talk to Scratchers, real life friends, and family!
Mesh Chat can be found here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/a1130/1137559
MathWizz's mesh tutorial is included in the Project Notes, in case you are new to mesh.

What mesh you talking about?
Mesh is a hack on Scratch that allows 2 or more users to connect on Scratch. To use mesh, check out MathWizz's tutorial that I included in the project notes of Mesh Chat.
Mesh is also very dangerous, since you need each other's IP Address to connect.

You can only connect on your own network unless you use Hamachi.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Hamachi? What's that?
Essentially, it creates a connection between two computers.
You usually need to use Hamachi because most IP addresses are local. (So, devices on your home network can communicate, but other devices outside the network can't) If your IP address begins with 192.168, then it is locally assigned.
(Oh, and by the way, chat rooms aren't allowed in Scratch. Just to let you know.)

I understand. So it's safer if you do this with real life friends like your siblings, or others that u know won't give away your IP.

Why is there a problem with giving out your IP? Its just a code, which can be used to locate where you are in the world, but its a very large margin, Iv checked mine and it says I live in london, which isn't true!

Well, you live in the United Kingdom (your Scratch stuff website says it), which is close!
An IP Address contains personal information that you don't want other people to know, such as passwords to your Scratch account and email accounts, and hackers can use it to
put viruses in your Internet connection and computer. If your mom or dad uses paperless banking, people can use your IP address to view all your bank statements. An IP Address is like a virtual safe. You don't want anyone finding it out.
