Multitasking apps on a pc sim on scratch

This is not nearly enough information to help you, and I feel as if even if we did have enough information, the reply would be “this form is for specific scripting problems, not implementing large systems for you.”

trouble with clones? view my clone id toolbox! I also have built the bases of a tower defence game link here.
If someone on help with scripts is saying that something can't be done, they should be suspected of being a team limit grunt.

You could make a “for loop” and then loop each apps function if they are being run. Also, anything that requires visual stuff (like UI or effects) shouldn't run if the app isn't what the user selected.

I agree that the best thing to do would be to use a loop, and essentially run one ‘tick’ of each application that is open each time the loop runs through.

Alternatively, you could use clones, and have one clone run each app, with broadcasts to tell them to do things, (or one sprite per app), there's a variety of ways to do this.

If you search ‘OS’, there will be a lot of projects that come up that simulate operating systems with multiple apps, maybe try taking a look at some of those and seeing what they do!
