Why does Scratch not let me put on a big project?

Hi, I had just finished making a Scratch project and I clicked on the Share button. Once it had finished loading, it said that a game can't have more than 10MB. I had spent a lot of time on it and was kind of angry. I don't know what to do because I want people to see my game but it won't let me.

The 10mb limit is there to stop the server getting too big.

This limit (10 MB) has always existed.

Try compressing your sounds and images/sprites (they take up the most space) by going into the paint editor for each costume, then pressing the shrink button in the paint editor. This will make the file size smaller.

Then try reuploading it again!

No, go to Edit>Compress sounds and images.

It always worked for me that way...

But your method is also valid.

Another tip: when uploading, make sure the checkbox labelled 'compress sounds and images' is selected for a slightly smaller file size.

Thanks guys, I was able to fit my game by deleting some useless stuff that I didn't know existed. Such quick replies!  smile
