What exactly is cloud data?, does it save something from a person's last visit, and how do I use it?

It's data that's stored on the site. If someone changes it (somewhere in the script it must have a “change variable” block), then it changes for everyone, not just for that one person. You can use it for high scores, multiplayer games (although difficult now), voting games, and a lot more. (BTW, I think this belongs in Questions About Scratch.)

“cloud data” is data stored in a cloud variable. Cloud variables is the Scratch mechanism for storing persistent and shared data… that is, data that is stored between runs of the project and also shared with everyone else who is also running the project.

I see now… Can you show me how to use it, I'm planning on a game that saves coins and items baught etc.

You're better off waiting until Cloud Lists that can hold strings is released.

ok, do you know when it will be released? (This is my last comment)

The Scratch Team said that it would be shortly after the 2.0 release.

When you have a new account, it says: since you are a new scratch member, any changes made to cloud saved data will not be saved. ow long do i have to wait?

I got mine after a few months so…

Made your Slender man

How do I put cloud data in one of my projects??? Please tell me!!!

First of all, major necropost. Secondly, there are many ways to do this. Make your own topic, and ask a very specific question. An example would be, Could someone help me implement high scores into my game? If you're specific, we can help you.

set up two cloud variables and have them encode and decode letters to numbers and set up a script that can tell when there is an end so it can give the right person the right stuff as in 00 is a 01 is b 02 is c ect.
Then 26 is end(only have an end after each player save)
This is how i do it and it works just fine.
