Making giant sprites (LArger than the 480x360 limit)

I've seen some people with sprites that are bigger than 480x360 pixels  yikes

I know if you use the text, you can stretch the y, but what about the x?

I've seen people with 1024x768 images. When I try to import a large sprite, it just scales it down..

There's a glitch that lets you make large sprites. Right-click on the stage and select "grab screen region for new sprite". It lets you take a picture of part of the window to make a new sprite, but if you make it bigger than 480x360, the sprite will be bigger than the limit. (Scratch team, please don't fix this.)
Sadly sprites still scale down when you import them.  sad

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Sprites bigger than the screen will also be scaled down online because of the Java player.

also sometimes scratch glitches and forgets to scale down the imported sprite


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Nice! Very helpful - Maybe you should post that in Show and Tell if you haven't already!
