Although cloud saving could be seen as difficult, it really isn’t it you watch a simple tutorial. Just adding a block for an entire game feature makes no sense. Why don’t we have a “make game” block so people who don’t know how to make games can make them?

It can be useful for new scratchers

It would still have the problem I described. It would be useful but it stops people from learning how to do it themselves.

Saving using just a single command and not needing to do extremely complex stuff with cloud variables is a thing in most languages
You almost never need to manually code a saving system in languages because they already have one built in
So why teach us to do the more complex thing and waste time

me when lua
but then again scratch doesn't have a datastore or anything similar, so you cant really teach people about that anyways (unless you use python, but alot of people dont even have acccess to it, and people who knows it wouldn't really need to learn saving anymore)

the only problem here I believe would be how and where the data would be stored, as I can see crashing a person's computer by generated multiple lists of 20k elements and then saving it to their computer (or DDOSing the scratch servers if its saved on scratch)

It could be saved with cookies

Or, even better, you could save it with Local Storage.

first of all, this is way to vauge for this to work, and what would it do? save variables? save numbers? what if you made a platformer game and had this block in it? and this defeats the point of scratch, its a website meant for learning

and before you say people might not know how to make save codes:

Like as a file? What if someone makes the file save in a way that’s harmful like making it into a zip bomb n
By writing code that corosponds to characters

Or browser local storage..
If it’s cookies that would work because then it’s eiser to clear them manually

No they mean local saving like when you go into a game the progress is still there, and you just don't start new.
