how do you make a multiplayer scratch game
You can do 2 types of multiplayer:
Local Multiplayer
or
Online Multiplayer
Local Multiplayer is when you can play a game on the same computer. For example, a platformer where Player 1 uses the WASD keys to move and Player 2 uses the arrow keys to move. This method is easier than online multiplayer.
Online Multiplayer in a Scratch game is hard to pull off. The only project I know of that successfully pulled off real-time multiplayer was a Laser Tag FPS by Griffpatch. Online Multiplayer can be anywhere from a leaderboard to a boss where multiple players fight to defeat. To do the latter of the two examples I metioned, you can make a cloud variable that is the boss's health. When players do damage to the boss, the cloud variable decreases until it reaches 0 and the boss is defeated. Then, players can get rewards based on the damage they did. A leaderboard is an easy way to incorporate an online aspect into a game. You have a cloud variable with the high score in it. If the player gets a higher score than the cloud variable high score, the cloud variable high score is changed. The thing is, Scratch only allows you to use 10 cloud variables, severely limiting the options for making an online game. You could remix Griffpatch's Laser Tag FPS and experiment a bit, but that would require quite a bit of programming knowledge. To wrap up, online multiplayer games are very hard to make. But who knows, maybe you will make a great online game! Good luck!

Either use complicated cloud variable scripts for an online mutiplayer game, or have two c control schemes, and two characters, with each character controlled by another control scheme, for local multiplayer. HELP! tell me or show me a link to the info i need!

Whoa! Why is everyone still attempting to answer this resolved question that was in the wrong place in the first place?
