So, how cloud variables work is that they can store text on the Cloud (the internet). They can be useful for many things, from high scores to leaderboards to progress-savers. But, almost all of their uses are advanced, and require complicated coding.

For safety issues, cloud variables can currently only store numbers. This is so people can't easily make online chat projects, where people could say swear words and stuff. You can only store numbers, including a + or − and one decimal at some point. If you try to set the variable to anything besides a number, it'll bring up the message “Currently, only numbers can be stored on cloud variables” and set the variable to 0.

The simplest thing you can make with a cloud variable is a high score. A script would look like this:

There are many other uses for cloud variables. You can make a saving system for a game that saves their progress and can load it later. You can make a leaderboard that saves the score of everyone that plays the game, and organizes it. You can even make a chat project, but there are some rules.

I hope this tutorial has been more helpful than others that you have looked at. If you want any more specific help, just ask.

Not true. They can also store abcdefABCDEF case sensitive if it starts with 0x.

Not true. It would still be a number. The ABCDEF characters in a hexadecimal variable represent extra numeral characters, not letters.

Can someone sum all this up for me, I mean (and no offense), I am only in the 8th grade and I am 14. And I know you guys might think I should've known (or at least find of known) about how to make Cloud Lists, but I'm still trying to get used to Scratch programming. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!1
