Autoload and Fullscreen lock

Fullscreen lock is a feature i'm proposing for scratch. It works like this, there is a tab that says “Fullscreen Lock” in editor mode. When clicked it will ask you to create a lock password, the creator will automatically get the ability to leave fullscreen mode in scratch ONLINE! If you're in scratch desktop when the game is launched through scratch desktop it will automatically lock on fullscreen, however simply type in the password you set when you made the lock and you'll be fine due to the fact that you can't log in. Autoload can make the sb3 file immediately load when scratch desktop is launched, for computers without scratch desktop it will load the game as a standalone file preventing you from editing it. The autoload feature will also be great for DLC as if hit autoload in game and select a filename if the computer detects a file of the same name it will place the sprite files or sb3 files in the game and automatically start the scripts in the sprites. So reply if you like the idea

No support

I'm assuming that “Fullscreen Lock” is a way to prevent people from seeing inside projects. If so, it is rejected.

3. Disable “See Inside” or restrict sharing
Some users want an option to prevent Scratchers from looking inside their project and using their artwork, scripts, or sounds. However, the motto of Scratch is "Imagine – Program – Share". By sharing a project on the Scratch website, you are allowing others to see the code and potentially remix or reuse the data inside, as long as they give credit. (Please report any projects that do not seem to give credit for assets they did not make.) If you do not want other users to see inside your project, then do not share your project on the Scratch website.

Restricting sharing so that only certain users can view the project is also not going to be implemented. Here is why:

We depend very heavily on our community to help us keep an eye on things and make sure that the Community Guidelines are being followed. Reducing the number of people that can see a project increases the likelihood that inappropriate content could be shared without being reported. That's a risk that we are not willing to take. Keeping everything out in the open is the best way we have found to help keep Scratch friendly and safe.
As for your “Autoload” suggestion, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Perhaps you could create another suggestions topic and explain in more detail.

Autoload and Fullscreen lock

Since Scratch is an educational language, it's really important to us that Scratchers always be able to see inside projects so they can figure out how they work and learn from them. So, sorry, we won't be implementing anything that locks them out.

Thanks for your suggestion - please keep thinking of ways to make Scratch better. You might want to take a look at this topic which discusses our design goals for Scratch.

Autoload and Fullscreen lock

its more for scratch games that are meant to be played on flash game sites or placed onto hard drives or shared not through scratch reading your replies also gave me another idea you see there is a scarily easy way to copy someone's games or projects without crediting the original developer
1. Make a bunch of empty project
2. Steal the hottest projects'/games' scripts, sprites, and backdrops
3. Place them into your previously made project
4. Post on the popular game's comment section “THAT GUY STOLE MY GAME!”

To fix this add a feature where if something is ripped from a gave via backpack their is an unremovable text box that says backpacked from (Original Game Dev) and with backdrops it would be in all the titles
