…Sort of… it can get VERY complicated. Communication speed varies from computer to computer with the cloud, auto-logout requires someone to be on the project for the scripts to be active…

Sorry, but unless it's pretty simple, it sort of can't be done. Well, that is. Cloud is very buggy right now, and isn't very friendly to multiplayer…

Thanks for the ride, Scratch Team and community! Unfortunately, the time has come for me to move on from Scratch, so I'll no longer be using the forums. Thanks again, and farewell!
Invisible text! This will show you if a profile I claim to be mine IS mine. Just remember to visit the profile and see if I confirmed in the comments.
For old time's sake, see the revolutionary Laser Battle 2.0! Also see Unstoppable Game!

And no, the evil kumquats didn't alter my signature…

I want to make a multi player project so you can explore with friends and even maybe chat with them!

Using cloud variables for chatting is discouraged by the Scratch Team.
