I will start bilding the stuff now...

What are you trying to make, exactly? A store?

Because that doesn't make sense to me - if everything's already downloaded, can't your users just change one of the variables and "activate" the content themselves, bypassing your store?

Also, I wasn't being quite accurate - all variable changes within Scratch are sent to Python, but to read back into Scratch, you get a virtual sensor to read from - you can't directly change variables from Python.

LIFE Is compiled into an EXE file, so no.

Administration and Customer support is open, however, this is for Virtual Arts generally, so you will get questions about LIFE and Learning With Mark.

Honestly, you may notice a Scrims topic pop on the collab forums, but if you are part of LIFE. Please do not join scrims. (PS: I can confirm we are the first Life Simulator on scratch that hasnt given up yet.)
