broadcasts

hi, I'm in the middle of programming a peg solitaire program and was wondering is there a limit on the amount of broadcast messages scratch can handle?

Re: broadcasts

I haven't hit any limitations on the number of different messages, but there probably are problems when you get too many.  How many were you thinking of using?  Would it be better to use a global variable to carry some of the information and use fewer broadcasts?

Re: broadcasts

well, i've written the code that carries it and i will probably need around the 100 mark and a global variable is useless to me.  it's just that i was working on it earlier and i had a heart attack when i thought I was limited to only fifteen.

thanks!
