Accidentally, I managed to reach infinity via division by 0 in a new method. Usually, Squeak runs out of memory and closes. But this time, it didn't close!

With the vertical AND horizontal stretch blocks, I set VERTICAL STRETCH to 0 and HORIZONTAL STRETCH to 0 to. However, what happened, it uses factors of the other, using division to accomplish it. So HORIZ / VERTICAL = infinity. What is weird, the size setting WAS actually set to infinity! I thought it wouldn't...

PICTURES:

When you go on Looks when the Size is currently 76%, then the set size to block has a default value of 76. Likewise, if the Size is infinite, then the set size to block has a default value of infinity. This is giant proof, since it's not possible to place text in number fields. And look at it, the input kept it's round shape:

Nice! How come Scratch didn't freak out on memory? Can you show us a picture of what the sprite now looks like?

The sprite didn't show when the size was set to infinity.

It's because after on, it had to divide by the error-producing calculation.

Dividing by infinity gives 0.
