Bro thanks for this! I was stuck for like an hour on re-watching the the video because the the game just was not updating. As it turns out, I accidentally grabbed a repeat 10 times on the the update Data variable instead of a forever loop. Works great now! Thanks!
finally, there is some use of the days since 2000 block. OMG, it wasn't used a long time, but its the first time this guy has used it in a really complex use, And no waste time for watching griffpatch's multiplayer code!
All you would do is join your value when you join your position and id. And you can add and subtract 500 to keep it 3 digits long. Ill most likely make another tutorial later on.
what about numbers less than -500 or greater than 500? will that break it. is it ok to add a bigger cushion for example 5000 or 50000 to ensure you can send more data?
Adding a bigger cushion is fine. But since scratch's default position cant be greater than 400, 500 works for positions. And im pretty sure if an number is greater then 500 or less then -500 its an good idea to add an bigger number.
