Discuss Scratch here civilized please.
Yes, I know it is full of 12 year olds who think they can code. Atleast I've found some people who actually can code and not be lazy assholes to fix bugs. Oh, and I am aware that half the projects on the website are crap. I try to make good games. I think I succeed most of the time. Scratch can be powerful if you know what you are doing.
If I see you flame here, I will tell a mod and get it removed. Let's not make a flame war here.
^ If it's missing some blocks I mostly make a variable that can substitute, probably not as well but it can suffice. IF that doesn't work I use BYOB (Build Your Own Block). Btw, thanks for defending it SteGriff!

Successful troll is successful, then?
Yes, he was pretty successful. Mostly since this community is made of 12 year old kids who can't control themselves.
I've never seen anything good come out of it. Of the few games I did try they were comparable to someone who just learned Flash has a programming language and made a simple frame based choice game (similar to my first ever game).
Not saying it's a crap program, but it's certainly far too restrictive for what it is trying to be. GameMaker > Scratch.
If you want an introduction to programming, the best way to do it is to read tutorials on programming, not play with Scratch (and I'm shocked to hear that it's used as an introduction to programming!).

I've used it and it made my learning of Python easier to comprehend. Gamemaker slightly confused me so I tried this first. atleast say one positive thing about it >_>

^ But alice is 3D and pretty sure it won't let you make your own variables, oh and it doesn't have collision detection built in :/ But yes, I like Alice alot. Btw Blaster, I like the idea, I've made something with my friends exactly like that, problem is, NO PASSWORD is uncrackable. But I can help if you want. Add me on skype. It's Navineous.

If the password changes itself, then it is uncrackable.

And how does that password distribute itself to the clients? If the client knowns how to encrypt and decrypt information, then the person using the client can too because the code is running locally on their machine. Anything running locally can be cracked, period.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
As far as an uncrackable password in Scratch goes, that's impossible. Someone will always be able to look at your source code and see the algorithm that produces the hash and be able to recreate it.
Technically, all passwords, anywhere, are (virtually) possible to be passed.
Technically possible but highly unlikely in many cases (try and pass my 512-bit SHA1 hash). Now, if anyone can view your source code, then they can see and copy & paste the algorithms to create and validate them. Indeed, it'd be incredibly easy to do so, even for the Scratch community.

I do not have skype
I do not have a mic
Or a webcam
And no, i cannot afford one.
1, you can just IM on skype, 2, We don't need two seperate projects, we can make it not need passwords, sure it would be easier to get tickets, but who cares? It's not like it's cheating on a multiplayer online game, we can program the prize counter in with the arcade, maybe an explorable arcade, that'd be much easier, smaller file, one project, easier, who cares if people download it and give themselves tickets. I don't. Passwords would overcomplicate it and could be shared. My idea is best actually.

^ That is easy, all we need is a hide all script and when the game is clicked a show all game sprites. So like this When "Generic game here" is clicked Broadcast hide all, then broadcast show Generic Game Sprites.
So all generic game sprites have When I recieve show generic game sprites they show and when they recieve hide all (every sprite will have that) hide all, so they are gonna hide, then be shown, while the others stay put. that way we don't have a hide everything but this this and this sprite and have a huge tangle of hide except blocks.

Actually, it's possible for you to turn a Scratch file into an executable.
Don't BS, every single password in the digital world is crackable.
Again, yes, but not easily. Seriously, if you took all the computing power in the world and dedicated it to cracking a single 512-bit SHA1 hash, it would take longer than the current age of the universe to crack.

My projects http://scratch.mit.edu/users/Navineous
If you want to do a collab with me, add me on skype, Navineous is my skype username.
Do you mean audio games?
If so, where can I find them?
If I deserve one, give me one.
He means like hide-and-seek and stuff.

Be here after I tested it.
