How Can I Make a Good Inventory System?

I'm having problems with an inventory system, I've decided to use list since there are hundreds of different items I will need to store but the problem is that, for some reason, the scratch development team decided they wouldn't let scratchers hide and show lists. So now I'm stuck, I can't have the inventory showing the WHOLE time. That would be ridiculous, so somehow I need to be able to hide and show my lists. Any help?

Re: How Can I Make a Good Inventory System?

You can use a sprite to cover up the list - many Scratchers do this.

However that might not be possible if you don't have a constant background (probably the case if your game is a RPG), so you could go the more complicated way and stamp out the contents of the list, using costumes with text or images corresponding to each item.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.
