Yes. I would also like to know who downloaded/moded my game.

It's really cool to follow the links between the modified projects.  I did notice that on some of mine there are a fair number of repeats.  This one is a good example: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Canthiar/4862/mods

YAYALEC: I am not planning to show who downloaded a project. I think it will discourage people from downloading because they know they are being "watched". Do you think it would be useful to know for anything other than curiosity*?

* Curiosity is important but in this case it might not be worth the cost  smile

Part of the accepted conditions of uploading a project are that anyone else is free to download it.

If someone downloaded your project, modified it and uploaded it again to the website
a message saying "Project based on YAYALEC's project" will be shown and your project will get a message that says "3 mods" (3 or any other number).

One of the nice things about Scratch is that anyone can download your Scratch projects to learn from them by looking at the code, play with it and modify it. Scratch and this website itself was made using other people's code. The same with a lot of professional software. Even Disney based a lot of their movies on modifications to books written by other people not written by Disney.

By sharing your work on this community you are automatically being part of a community with everyone learns from each other and everyone has permission to modify each others projects as long as they say where their project came from (that's why we added the "Based on..." part).  I think a lot of people come here because the want to show the world what they have done and feel proud about their creations, get feedback and have an audience. Anther option is to create something and not show it to anyone, that's fine too but I would hope you prefer to show your creations because we can all learn from you. Like that project you created about Autism, we learned from it.

Anyway, this is getting too long  smile

Thanks for sharing and Scratch on!

Asking who downloaded may be tough---one shouldn't have to log in to download.
Asking for who modded the project is quite reasonable---someone may have come up with a clever bug fix or improvement that would be worth incorporating in one's own work.

Fortunate, then, that if you follow the mods link you get a list of links of the people who modded your project - and the resulting works.

Thanks for the new feature! Even though only two of my projects are copied I still like to know. I wouldn't want it to say who downloaded though.
