Saving Online?

I think one thing that would be great so see in Scratch 2.0 is a feature that lets you store variables as cookies on somebody's computer.  That way, you could make a game save even online.

Re: Saving Online?

Well its a bit doable. If you gave the user a code, then they could save online.

Isn't There Programs That Can Change The Data Of Cookies?

Re: Saving Online?

I'm a bit worried of the security and clutter that this may cause- is that a good thing?  hmm

Although, these are technical problems, the idea in itself is still very good.

I would recommend storing the variables in a special session instead of just using cookies. It would be much more secure.

Maybe you could collect data from these variables into the project(from other people too) and the project could display high scores, various data, and more?

I think that that would not be a problem, because all the data collected would be practically useless for anyone trying to use it.

Re: Saving Online?

It would take too much money for scratch. Remember, scratch is a free website.

1. If you want to know the features of alternatives to scratch, don't ask on scratch. google it.

2. It's possible on Stencyl because stencyl is flash. It's not possible on alice (I think) mainly because Alice is an animation tool (mainly).

3. They already sell t-shirts and stuff, and scratch would never put advertisements, because it's a free website with no ads.

they can make it like <variable 'var' stored in cookies> [restore variable 'var' from cookies] and [save variable 'var' to cookies], and save it like this: 'projectID;var;1234' or something like this, so you won't be able to do anything but saving.
