How to Use

Warning

Use this extension only on Scratch projects you own or have permission to modify. Unauthorized use can violate Scratch's terms of service and result in penalties. Learn more here.

Step 1: Sign Into Scratch
Ensure you are signed into a Scratch account with the Scratcher role to use cloud variables.

Step 2: Preparing Your Project
Go to the project you want to use (Example) and click the green flag to start it.


Step 3: The Handshake

1. Click the extension icon and open the "Handshake" tab.
2. Under "Packet Name:", enter "handshake".
3. Enter your account's username under "Username:" (it must match your actual account name).
4. Enter the project's ID under "Project ID:".
5. Click "Submit".
   

You'll see something like "Sent Handshake: {"name":"handshake","user":"YourUsername","project_id":"1067597166"} under "Response Packets"."


Step 4: Sending Set Requests

1. Go to the "Send Action" tab.
2. Enter "set" under "Packet Method".
3. Enter your username under "Username:" (it must match your actual account name).
4. Enter the project's ID under "Project ID:".
5. Type the variable name under "Variable Name:" (do not include the ☁ symbol, the code handles that).
6. Enter the value (numbers only) under "Value:".
7. Click "Submit".

You'll see something like "Sent Cloud Update: {"method":"set","user":"YourUsername","project_id":"1067597166","name":"☁ Cloud","value":"123456789"}" under "Response Packets".

What's Planned

I'm planning on continuing to improve the Chrome extension. Here's what's coming in future updates:

• Better UI: A cleaner, more user-friendly design for easier navigation.
• Username & Project ID Autofill: Automatically fill in your account's username and the current project's ID to save time.
• Easy Save-and-Load: Quickly save and load frequently used packet configurations.
• Dark Mode: A sleek dark theme for improved visibility in low-light environments.
• Basic Encryption: An easy way to encode text-based messages as numbers so projects can receive them.
