NOTE: This is not completed. It was shared to test the multiplayer, but it can't be tested because Scratch's cloud server is basically completely down... Construction on this project is at a pause because Scratch's cloud clients are all automatically in http fallback only. Meaning multiplayer games can't be tested or played. Right now I'm just waiting on them to transition to web sockets and for the cloud to start working properly again... :'( Kind of a major disappointment because I was hoping to finish this in early January... :(
