Scratch keeps crashing
I hate it when a script gets too long Scratch crashes. The weird thing is, sometimes I've had longer scripts that didn't crash. This is 0s1s, another crasher was 47 sprites and 155 scripts.

Re: Scratch keeps crashing
It's the length of the script that's the problem, not the number of them. Squeak actually draws the script on the scripting pane, so whenever you move a script, it has to redraw the entire thing. Naturally, when a script gets too long, it takes a long time to draw. I've never heard of a crash though. Maybe a memory error?

It freezes up with a long script.

Re: Scratch keeps crashing
Make a script in pieces, then put the pieces together in descending order and you shouldn't have a problem.
