Yes very constructive absolutely.

I don't think with JavaScript fetch you can protect the IP. They would have to use a proxy server, but I don't think they would set one up.

Sadly, no support. This would be very expensive for scratch to maintain. Maybe for a website with only 200 users, but not one with millions.

It basically comes down to Javascript fetch api, that's not expensive at all

NO. Here's why.
Access to the wifi. Would allow you to do things such as get the person's IP and violate lots of things involving account privacy.

How would you get a persons IP… cloud broadcast it? whatttt? No, it would not allow someone to get another person's IP.

There are very smart hackers who would surely take advantage of the situation if they could.

I agree, no support

AFAIK, this would give the project access to the networking that the browser has access to, so it won´t be handled by javascript apis, tho scratch wouldn´t have to allocate any resources for it cos it would be handled by the host browser/computer/router

Definitely not possible with normal cloud vars

You can also just use a studio as an online chat room and you can just make it obscure. Getting a studio popular is not the same as getting a project popular. I can make a studio and leave it sitting for years without anybody joining, but a project will get a few views/likes.

Well, studios are moderated by the ST+comment filter, neither cloud var chats nor a scratch project connecting to a chatting page can´t be moderated by them

no why do we need these useless blocks?

They aren´t useless, but they may be used for innapropiate stuff etc.

They can already do this with cloud variables, although it isn’t allowed.

what is this even suggesting??? how could a project possibly make use of wifi connection im very confused…

What do you exactly mean by “connecting to real wifi”? I can only see people getting doxxed from this or i am reading this wrong

Hey I have an idea. You can use a cloud variable and well, do something that changes it in a “cloud” way. If it doesn't function properly, then you can do something like “broadcast no wifi” or something.

hard

set [☁ score] to [only numbers]

easy

send (this is great) to user [windowws11microsoft]

yeah for wifi

How could it be? What happens? Does it hack someones network? How would it? All you have to do to connect with wi-fi is just connect to the strongest current network. If it lists the wi-fi network it uses, who cares what so ever. Make a new network.
