Maybe Give Scratch A Way To Connect To The Internet And Interact Like The Io Games? just a suggestion, might take a while, or not happen at all, but that's okay.

Do you mean like Multi-player games that several Scratchers can play together? If so then that has already been done by a lot of Scratchers using Cloud Variables.

yes, kind of, but an easier way to do it that can hold maybe a hundred players at a time.

Cloud games can hold 100+ players, I think.

If you only store 25 digits of data or less per player, then yes.

Actually, only fairly simple cloud games can, due to the 10 cloud variable limit and the 256 character limit per cloud variable. It's actually even less than that in practice because you need to encrypt/decrypt everything, which makes everything take up twice as much space on each cloud variable. If you want 100+ players, you can basically only store x-position, y-position, username, and maybe the costume. Especially because you'll probably want another cloud variable to store the state of the level/world.

An example of that would be @griffpatch's recently published MMO platformer.
