Scratch needs a "High Scores" lists to free up the comments on games

Looks like kids love to announce their scores in the comments, which tends to get in the way of other forms of commenting and communication. Perhaps scratch's website needs an opt-in style high-scores board along side of the comments section.

But what about projects that don't involve any type of score? ^^

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

good point. that's why I suggested the "high scores" be an opt in feature for individual projects.

Brilliant idea.

I would like to see blocks that would communicate the final score to the server and update the list automatically.  Perhaps with a "submit score" button so the users would "opt in" to the score being shown on the web site.

The Stencyl development tool has integration with Kongregate.  They have blocks to get the current username and to submit scores to an automatically generated highscore table.

I made it in the usual way.

EDIT:

If you're wondering what graphics program I use, it is called Paint.NET.

If you're wondering about the code, here is the code for my signature:
