Maybe do - too, because I can't remember what all the codes I have use.

Would this work? It encodes the characters provided into binary, which makes it harder to hack, but it's never truly impossible to make a unhackable savecode.

Edit: Also the project explains how it works inside.

I'll look at it on Saturday (see this post).

Encoding and decoding how? Into numbers, or letters, or some other form?

Sorry, I meant encryption/decryption. It's for save codes, and I don't want people to cheat.

MINE

EDIT: Can you put a list of the characters you need encoded into a project and send it to me?

set [cloud nonsense v] to [our fun code but compressed into numbers]

set [cloud nonsense 2 v] to [our fun code decrypted and compressed]

our encryption function could be a super sussy sha-256 of a value with bit shift. and at the start our value. so we can verify

That is physically impossible. You cannot make it uncheatable, it just isn't possible because if you encrypt say a score in a clicker game, so n -> F(n). And a decryption function x -> G(x) where G(F(n)) is n. This makes sense, but because scratch is open source somebody could easily calculate F(score we want) and use that save code

For one of my projects which usually stored its data as a list of booleans (which I interpreted as a single binary number), I tried to convert it into base-10 and then base-36 (0-9 and A-Z).

This was great for getting a less lengthy value, but the issue is that javascript (and by extension scratch) only has floating point numbers. These get really inaccurate at higher values, so I was losing lots of data in the base-10 step.

TL;DR don't play with big numbers in scratch (or javascript).

that will be slow. very slow. and overkill.

it will take like 6 frames or 0.2 seconds, not slow FAST

no not really it would be quite fast

the python step would be fast, the cloud variable step would be incredibly slow. and also it could cause problems if there were lots of users using it at the same time.

and it would still be overkill.
