Cloud data

it is an internet thing.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(score) > (cloud high score)> then
set [cloud high score v] to (score)
end
end


like if someone gets a high score its recorded in a variable.

Cloud Data is data that will be saved on the Scratch Server with your project. In other words, normal variables will reset every time you start your project or refresh the page, but cloud variables can be maintained because they're actually saved by Scratch. You want to be careful how you use them since it is still not a perfect system. It takes time, memory, and energy for your computer to send data to the Scratch servers so you won't always be in constant communication. Most people who use a cloud variable use it to hold a high score for their game so that people can't lie in the comments and so they don't have to keep manually updating it.

For the most part, cloud variables work just like normal variables. One main difference is that they are only allowed to be numbers and cannot be used to store massive amounts of data since space is precious and there are a lot of Scratchers! Other than that, you can set, change, show, hide, or reference cloud variables just the same as normal ones.
