White Screen - Help! D:

I was making a game called FireMan, and I was working on the script for the jump physics. When I was working, a message popped up saying squeak was low and memory and Scratch froze. When I minimized the screen and opened it again, the screen was white. When you put the cursor on the screen, it dissapeared, but when you clicked on it, you could see the black scratch cursor. Scratch just won't respond, and I can't save! Help! D:


Excuse me sir, would you please inform me to whether or not this is Sparta?

You're doomed.   sad

"Squeak is low on memory" means just that--Squeak, which is what runs Scratch, ran out of memory because you were using too much.  As far as I know, there is no way to get your project back and you have to close.  If you can't close, force-close the program.

Re: White Screen - Help! D:

Try resizing your Scratch window next time.  It might just need to refresh the screen.


If you are having trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: 1 comes before 2 comes before 5,280 comes before 523,860,759 comes after the square root of -153 comes before π. This will make your previous counting problems seem like no big deal.
