Instances & Internet

It would be extremely useful if there was a way to create new instances of sprites within a script. Many people have attempted to make instances with lists but those projects are slow and would be really hard to use in large projects. Another feature that I would like to see is the ability to send and receive data to and from other computers using the project. This would generate more user interactivity but it would probably require the ability to create instances.

Please post what you think

Re: Instances & Internet

Well, I *think* the internet suggestion is already available (variables and sprites can go inter-project). I'm not sure, and I can't seem to find the forum post talking about it. I'll post it here if I ever come across it.

Re: Instances & Internet

There actually is a way to connect to the internet with scratch. It's sort of confusing though, so I've never used it. It's called remote sensor connections and it lets scratch connect to other applications. There's a wiki on it: http://scratchconnections.wik.is/


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Instances & Internet

Also there are multiple problems with duplicating. The main problems are that people will misuse it (it has the ability to crash the internet browser) and how it will work, and still be simple for the younger auidiance

Re: Instances & Internet

Hmm that would be a problem, maybe there would have to be some advanced version of scratch or something to warn people if some one used instances.
