YOU MUST HAVE THE SCRATCHER RANK TO SEE THE COUNTER! NEW SCRATCHERS OR GUESTS CANNOT VIEW THE PROJECT PROPERLY! It uses cloud variables.

This is a (sort of) live counter for the world's population. It's powered by the data from Worldometers, using a very hacky bridge between a PhantomJS browser and the Scratch cloud variables running on my server.

Here's how it works:
worldometers.info --> PhantomJS Browser --(websocket)--> Python Tornado --(scratchapi)--> Scratch

Thanks to @Dylan5797 for making scratchapi! (https://github.com/Dylan5797/scratchapi)

Currently, the server may be very unstable, so if it goes down, please let me know in the comments.
