Multiplayer With Scratch!

What is scratch?

I make my games with scratch (If you don't know it yet you should check it out). It's really beginner friendly coding language and I'm 12 and started 3 years ago. It uses blocks as script instead of text and you get to modify the values. It May look like that nothing good can be created from it but you would be wrong. If you are a gamer and never coded before I recommend it because it will be fun.

How to make multiplayer

I usually make my games multiplayer now and they are much more fun to play. First up you need to make cloud variables. They are connected on server. Then you need to make a program that encodes your position values (and others if you have). I recommend the number length before number encode system. And pack the value to string. Then make it send the value to the cloud and make a program that reads others value and makes it Show you them. That's it like if I should make part 2 where I tell this with screenshots and tell how to make online chats and servers
