Do Lists save automatically?

Do they act as cloud lists? If i wanted to make a username list for people who click a button on my game how would I go about doing that?

Scratch does not have cloud lists at the moment. If you want to save a list to the cloud, you would have to encode it into a string and put it into a cloud variable. Then you could create a decoder that parses the data in the cloud variable and puts it into the list. Keep in mind that you will need to update the list any time new data is added by the player or another player.

Nope, list doesn't save data automatically, it just store a list of data similarly to a list of variables. To save any data, you will have to encode it into digits before it can be stored in the cloud variable, then decode it back from the cloud variable when needed. This is a good example to start off: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22268003/

No. When you add an item to a list and then reload the page, unless when the flag is clicked you add certain items to the list it will be empty. But you can use cloud variables to encrypt data to a list

Huh. So does the list have to be associated with a cloud variable to save into the cloud?

when green flag clicked
forever
replace item (Masterolson3 0 v) of [Cloud Data v] with (join (username) (join [ ] (☁ score)))
end

…or something like this. I'm too lazy to make the other blocks.

No, they do not act like cloud lists you would have to use cloud variables and al ist to make a cloud list.

If you are talking about cloud lists then You can't, actually, it doesn't exist. If there were cloud lists the servers that store cloud variables should be… Bigger, I guess…

I made a cloud list project at https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/625707548/ the only downside is that the list resets when you reload

Correction: Not encrypt, encrypt means to password protect, the right word is encode, meaning to convert into a coded form.
