Connect Scratch 2.0 with your friends list

It would be (rather) simple, simpler than Mesh, at least. Finally, you get to easily play or draw or just talk with your friends, making Scratch the best website ever!

A block would bring up a menu where you could sign in to your Scratch account and pick some friends. Those friends would get a notification like this:

The Scratch 2.0 website would say:

(username) wants you to join this ScratchConnect-enabled project! Accept or deny?

Clicking Accept would take you to the project where a message would pop up at the bottom saying "You have joined this project with x more people!"

More blocks would be included; you could show or hide them using a Edit menu option, so that would keep them hidden away for people who don't understand them, but shown when those people get the idea. They would be orange or yellow.

a block that reports the nth person to join
a block that reports the number of people
a block that sends the message "type something here" to other people
a hat that triggers when a message is sent
a block that reports the latest message

A chat interface could be included, allowing you to send predefined or custom messages to other people in the project. Remember, you can't join a ScratchConnect thing with people who are not your friends, and you could report messages if you get suspicious.

I think it would actually be much more complex than Mesh.

This would be neat...


RANDOM THOUGHT: If the tomato is a fruit, doesn't that make ketchup a smoothie?

Re: Connect Scratch 2.0 with your friends list

By the way, you can make almost duplicate links.

Code:

[color=blue][u]Accept[/u][/color]

Change the color if you want a more accurate color.
Accept
Now the underline is blue.

Neat! I'll change that.
EDIT: The right color is #2A54AA, actually. I dug through CSS to find that out.

Well, you could hide them if you don't want them or understand them-they would be hidden by default, and lots of sample projects could be included, demonstrating it.
