Cloud Variables
What are cloud variables?
Cloud variables allow for data from a project to be saved and shared with other users in the CodeTorch community. What you can do with cloud variables is truly limited to your imagination!
Who can see the data stored in cloud variables?
Currently no one, we are planning on changing this in the future.
What types of data can be stored in cloud variables?
Only numbers can be stored in cloud variables, however unlike Scratch their is a 10,000 digit limit compared to Scratch's 256.
Can I make chat rooms with cloud variables?
Yes, unlike Scratch, CodeTorch allows chat rooms.
How can I make a cloud variable?
Go to the "Variables" section of the blocks palette, select "Make a Variable", and then click the checkbox next to "Cloud variable (stored on server)". The data associated with your cloud variable will be stored on the server, preserved over time, and accessible to anyone who opens the project.
Who can change the information in a cloud variable?
Only you and viewers of your project can store data in your project’s cloud variables. If people "see inside" or remix your code, it creates a copy of the variable and does not affect or change the original variable.
