FEATURE REQUEST- Cloud variables

Coding
1

In my exploration with scratch, a coding platform just like cospaces but in 2d, there are cloud variables, that can only contain numbers to save progress, high scores, etc. I really want to make a game with high scores, so I made this feature request.
Thanks,

I agree, this would be a great step toward making these interactive games that kids love to play with in cospaces.

Cloud variables also is live, so when a number in a cloud changes, other people viewing the project gets almost immediate changes.

I also would like to request a username input so that instead of having to choose your nickname, your username is automatically generates in the project.

Is the @Delightex team working on this? It could be a great addiction for the game creators because with those variables you can save the progress of the player.

Actually you can’t save player progress with this. The one cloud variable would be the same for everyone running the projects at the same time. For example, if one person sets a high score while another person is also playing the same game at the same time, the High Score display would update for both of them.

@RobotChickens That’s only true if you’re storing a single value in a variable.

You can easily save scores for a game in a cloud variable by making the variable a list, or (as people do in Scratch as the variables can only be strings) make a comma-separated list in the variable to break it all down into the list components you need, and parse the list before updating it.
