Looking for a Scratcher collaborator to host a PS-SYNC test server

alekhyo_0812

Hi everyone!

I’m experimenting with PS-SYNC (Python–Scratch Synchronised Yield Networked Coordination) — a project that lets Scratch games exchange live data through cloud variables with a Python backend.

To test it properly, I need a collaborator who already has Scratcher status and can run a small `scratchattach` script on a cloud host.
You would keep full control of your account; I’ll just share the Python file and setup steps.
No passwords or personal info will ever be requested or shared.

Please use your alt acount for this, because if you open the project on Scratch, it will make the whole thing crash.

If you’re interested in helping test a new kind of multiplayer system, reply here or send me a Scratch message.
You’ll be credited in the documentation and project page!

I will collect 3 accounts and 2 for backup, so 5 total. You can send more than one.
Also send your email address. If you are selected, I will send you everything there.
Thanks!

PS: Here's the experimental setup for Scratch.

You don't need a scratcher status to edit cloud variables via Python. I've tried it.

And just use dashboard.render.com to host it.

Seriously? And, just to say, I am using Render.com
It will work, but the setting of cloud vars fails silently for New Scratchers
