i think he wants the stuff you can emulate on virtual x86

useful for some computer sims
Scratch isn’t supposed to be used for computer sims

And also there’s no way the scratch servers have enough power for this

It wont be visible to new scratchers or some scratchers that are not here for 10 months
And?

They can’t even add cloud lists! What makes you think they can literally run an entire computer for multiple users?

And even if they did add it it would probably be useful to a grand total of 3 people who make this kinda thing

your files will be saved only for you

And? It still needs to run on the scratch servers

I don't think it works like that, the website isn't necessarily aimed at children and it's supposed to say the original name of the language and not “Brainheck”

A) Good luck with that

B) They also have a link to their Twitch account on the page (possible nsfw), which I don't think you can force somebody to remove just for the site to be kid friendly for that one >13 year old guy who goes to it.

not really ontopic but that's a pretty nice name for a language.

IndexErrorException

Even if this were possible to make in JavaScript, this is like a

make super cool project

block. No creativity and the interfaces you provided are way to basic to actually make a computer that is usable. It's also more complicated than just ‘setting’ the cores. Instead learn string manipulation and build your own interpreted(or complied for a challenge) language instead. Scratch is too basic, and this would have zero usage, aside from the fact that's impossible. Also limiting functionality to certain users because of rank or time on the platform is probably rejected and stupid.

Yes, and it's for a reason. Here's a hello world program in BF:

yea that name is very on point.

but back on topic.

this whole vm thing is going to hurt brains more than this language does.

I doubt it's needed.
Scratch has some terrible memory management, plus, how would this work on the technical side? Certain VM programs like VirtualBox are desktop apps and can't be run on a web browser (unless you use software to connect to another computer already running said emulator). The only browser based emulator I can think of is v86, which has abysmal performance on Chromebooks, and has poor support for modern OSes. Plus, .ISO and other disk image files can be massive, and Scratch would have to store these files on their server, which would mean less space for the other cool stuff people could be making, and long load times for the end users.
Plus, what would people actually make with this other than re-uploading pre-existing systems? If you coded a new OS, you'd probably would want to release the ISOs themselves, so users could run them and get the full experience you intended.
You could easily just use v86 or any other VM software on your computer, Scratch doesn't need to provide absolutely everything you ever need.

No support, this would be hard to code.

It uses copys version of v86

which means it redirects to copy.sh

I'm not promoting it, I'm just saying Microsoft isn't going to SWAT you if you don't activate Windows.
