Networking, Can somebody explain?

Ok, so i know that scratch can be networked, but can somebody explain how to?
Just as the source code is written in small talk and i do not understand how to edit it to network it.

Also, what are the networking capabilities? Can you make networked games, and are they are LAN or internet or both?

Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Networking, Can somebody explain?

Hi Ryan,

To enable networked Scratch sessions try this:

   1. Open the Scratch Source Code (Read the instruction on the Source Code Page carefully how to set it up).
   2. In a SystemBrowser go to class ScratchFrameMorph -> #addServerCommandsTo:
   3. Change the first line to: disable := false. Save the method (alt-s).
   4. Open Scratch from the World-open menu and save the image in user mode.
   5. Open the Scratch Source Code from Windows again (several times) -> now you're in user mode.
   6. Connect using the Extras-Menu.

Enjoy!
