I don't think a save string would need to be more than 16 digits long. I'll change it if someone thinks of an example.

some save codes can well exceed 16 digits. it depends on the type of code.

It should be at least the limit for cloud variables which I think is 256 characters, probably more though since these code strings can get pretty long (maybe a 10,000 character limit?)

Added color to the mockup and also it shouldn't be a extension rather its own category instead but I support.

Why? It doesn't look like something that would be used very often.

Codes for advanced topics often exceed 16 digits. This would allow, base 36 at the very least. If a project made a randomly generated world, it would exceed 16 digits by a long shot, even with base 36.

How to make siggie

-Qlec-

If a key was sixteen digits long, it would only be useful for very small games. Think about it. The codes of more popular games are hundreds of characters long with lowercase and capital letters.

scratch fact of the day whenever i feel like changing it: Oddly enough, the (item ( ) of list) and (item # of ( ) in list) blocks can be placed where boolean blocks are supposed to go. This calls on the Boolean() function in JavaScript (the language Scratch is coded in), or whatever other boolean coercion method exists. Numbers and booleans behave as expected, with 0 (but, incorrectly, not -0), “” (empty string), and “false” (the string) converting to false. Everything else converts to true, so stuff like NaN seem to be interpreted as strings.

set [foo v] to [something]
forever {
set [foo v] to (join (foo)(foo))
} :: control

Select this, then press Shift + Down

// just your typical code
green is {
an ({apple :: hat #8fd97e}@addInput::ring #55993a) :: #7bc24f cap
}some text<>{
if not (☁ score :: pen) {
{rainbow [#de0909][#ffaa0d][#ffe70a][#7ccf00][#00cf79][#0072cf][#8d00cf] :: #7bc24f reporter}@addInput :: hat pen
}:: #6a8c32
} block [with v] ([text] :: #a8cc5a) ? :: #6a8c32

I've changed the character and storage limits to 255.

I think a 10,000 character limit would only be used for spam.

this was actually in a 2.0 beta and got removed for unknown reasons, also isn’t this very easy to do with cloud variables
(Well relatively easy considering you are using cloud variables)

here is my save code for a project I made, it has 31 digits (I'm likely wrong though) and that is without the inventory
edit: forgot to quote it
edit 2: turns out they already changed the limit

bump. i made a post about the same thing with more criticism

hi

Isn't rate-limiting an option? You're not going to change your level code that often, right?

If you see a line above this text, it means that below this text is my signature.
This place is just a memory to me, I may return occasionally but I'm busy.
I guess I'm an ATer now.

I think I may have seasoned my posts a bit too much.

Colored Pencil is supposed to color the siggy, but Scratch says it's too big.

There is nothing here…

My idea isn't just for counting levels. Some projects change data very often so rate limiting wouldn't work.

So would the recalled key only return the one from the current project, or the project you choose?

And then you realize..

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the purple color and “it shouldn't be a extension” LOL

For example, Project A stores a key showing your progress. The key can be recalled by Project A when you play again so you can continue, or by Project B to prove you played A.

The first recalling block would return a key from the current project. The second would return from the project ID entered.
