Greenfoot development request

Could you allow scenarios in greenfoot to have their own database server which will be shared between all users running the scenario, and because there is only one of those databases per scenario it can hold more strings and maybe longer strings. A good use for this would be a public drawing scenario where each person can see what other people are drawing and you can join in. This could not be done with the current greenfoot because first of all, there aren't enough strings in each users user info to create a worth while bitmap, however if there is only one database for the scenario (not including the user info database) more and longer strings could be stored. A shared database would also be needed for this scenario because you must be able to edit everything that is being stored in the database because a public drawing scenario would be quite boring if you couldn't erase or draw over other peoples doodles. It would be really nice if we could have a very large amount of storage for this database server.

I think that might over burden the site's servers pretty quickly.

It's not that I dont think this would be a nice thing to have, but the effort to produce it and the potential load on our server means it's unlikely to happen, sorry. We have other things to focus development on, and our workloads are high.
