CloudImageLoader

This is a server that lets you render an image from your computer onto Scratch over cloud variables. You can check out this project to see a client example.

Setup

You will need Node.js to run this server.

1. Install the required libraries for this project.

    npm i
   

2. Run genConfig.cjs to generate the config file needed for the server to run.

   node genConfig.cjs
   

   Don't worry; your password will not be shown in the terminal.

3. You should also replace input.png with your own file, if you want to render a different image.

4. Run index.js.

    node index.js
   

5. Wait for reading to finish before starting the Scratch project linked with the server. This can take a bit.

If you've done everything correctly, you should see your image begin to render on the Scratch side!

Note that the image may tear occasionally due to lag.

Common Errors

Error: Unexpected server response: 502 Restart the server; I don't think there's much I can do about this.
