i think that you should add some new blocks that interact with json files. you would be able to save data and load it either in that game or even in other games. look at these blocks below for help.

save() into file()
load() from file()
try
except error filenotfound

you should rekognise these blocks. these will interact with files on the computer. not on a server. if the file does not exist for saving, it will create a file.

bump

Please don't bump your topic unless it is off the page or has been 24 hours since the last post (was it off the page?)

1. Only bump if the topic is off of page 1.
2. You can already save projects. (Assuming if you have Scratch 3.0 Offline Editor)

The Scratch Team has considered your idea, and rejected it for the following reason.

2.2 Text-based syntax in Scratch
Some users wish to code Scratch not with the blocks, but with typing code instead (similar to how more advanced programming languages work). Others are interested in an option to view, convert, or download Scratch code to other programming languages. However, the Scratch Team has discussed this possibility multiple times and has decided every time that it would not be beneficial for beginners or for teachers.

This suggestion extends to coding, viewing, converting, or downloading Scratch in any text-based language, including BBCode, Javascript, some form of pseudocode, or some other programming language. If you wish to code using another language, then you can learn it on your own, but it would have to be done outside of Scratch. For those who are interested, it may be worth checking out Tosh. It is a text-based programming language which serves as a text editor for Scratch projects.

In the future, please read The Official List of Rejected Suggestions before posting.

I will ask a mod to close this topic now.

the text spots are only for variables! (and file names)

More scripting to do that also. ST would not have enough recourses to make that.

Sorry - Allowing access to the local computer file system is quite a risky step that also doesn't fit well with our design goals of keeping Scratch simple and easy to learn.
