what is cloud data?
Cloud data is numbers in the system that can be displayed on everyone's computer at the same time. (People use it to create highscores or multiplayer games). I hope that helps- I'm terrible at explaining things.

what is cloud data?
Cloud data is data which is stored on Scratch's servers. The value of a cloud variable is the same across all projects, allowing users to interact with others who have also used the project. For example, one Scratcher could play a game which had this code:
Normal Variables:
- User 1 runs a project; the variable's value is 5
- User 1 sets the variable to 10 while running project
- User 2 starts up the project; the variable's value is 5
Cloud Variables:
- User 1 runs a project; the variable's value is 5
- User 1 sets the variable to 10 while running the project
- User 2 starts up the project; the variable's value is 10
if <(score) > (high score)> thenThe value of the variable “High score” is the same for all Scratchers, so if another Scratcher on a different computer is viewing the project, he or she will see the high score that the first Scratcher set.
set [highscore v] to (score)
end
Normal Variables:
- User 1 runs a project; the variable's value is 5
- User 1 sets the variable to 10 while running project
- User 2 starts up the project; the variable's value is 5
Cloud Variables:
- User 1 runs a project; the variable's value is 5
- User 1 sets the variable to 10 while running the project
- User 2 starts up the project; the variable's value is 10

STILL confused sorryIf a variable is used in the project but is not in the list of variable in the Data section of the scripts palette (that is, if it doesn't exist), Scratch automatically makes a local variable with that name. To fix this you can stop the project, remove/change any scripts involving the variable you want to delete, and when you delete the variable it shouldn't duplicate.when green flag clicked

cloud data is used to store things on scratch
like in a game whoever get's the highscore is the WINNER and it shows the username of the person!
