New blocksI have been programming for a while and decieded to check out the Scratch source code. I was wondering if you can submit projects to the site, with obsolete blocks, or if I can submit blocks made by me to the Scratch site, and run them? Also, I was looking and I found Mesh. I've tried it before and its only local... Do I have to enter a different IP? I have found that the IP Scratch tells you is only a network IP. Do you have to use you computer's personal IP. Finally, If I'm mistaken please tell me.

Good questions!

1. No, mods are not allowed to have projects uploaded from them to the Scratch website.
2. From my experience, mesh does only works locally, but It seems like there'd be a way to fix that.

It's perfectly possible to connect to other Scratch projects over the internet, but it requires Hamachi (or possibly another VPN thingy). I remember using it for something else, and I explained it there.
Quoting myself:

First, get Hamachi (if you haven't already) and create a network for whatever you need. Then, disconnect from the network the computer is connected to (i.e. disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off the wireless), but keep Hamachi online. Then, host a mesh. Mesh will hopefully try to use the Hamachi IP since there's no other one. Then, reconnect to your network. Now people who are on the Hamachi network will be able to join your mesh!    (unless you have more than one IP besides the Hamachi one...)

I HAVE tested this.

Go here to get Hamachi, or here if you have a Mac.
