Scratch

I'm making a game involving lots of lists and stuff like that. It's gonna have LOADS of

add [item 1] to [results v]

However, when I was 20% of my way through making it, i suddenly got this red message saying that squeak is running out of memory. I'll admit that that was kinda expected as I had 2 sprites loaded with those scripts mentioned above.

However, I had a thought. My game basically relies on this format:

if <<[factors v] contains [factor 1]> and <[factors v] contains [factor 2]>>
add [result 1] to [results v]
end
if <<[factors v] contains [factor 2]> and <[factors v] contains [factor 5]>>
add [result 2] to [results v]
end
if <<[factors v] contains [factor 1]> and <<[factors v] contains [factor 2]> and <[factors v] contains [factor 6]>>>
add [result 3] to [results v]
end

but then I thought, what if I make "factor 1" a variable that never changes? That way, scratch will treat is as 1 figure rather than 100 seperate figures. It would look something like this:

when gf clicked
set [factor 1 v] to [factor 1]
set [factor 2 v] to [factor 2]
set [factor 3 v] to [factor 3]
set [factor 4 v] to [factor 4]
set [factor 5 v] to [factor 5]
set [factor 6 v] to [factor 6]
when gf clicked
forever
if <<[factors v] contains (factor 1)> and <[factors v] contains (factor 2)>>
add [result 1] to [results v]
end
if <<[factors v] contains (factor 2)> and <[factors v] contains (factor 5)>>
add [result 2] to [results v]
end
if <<[factors v] contains (factor 1)> and <<[factors v] contains (factor 2)> and <[factors v] contains (factor 6)>>>
add [result 3] to [results v]
end
end

I hope you get what I mean. I want to see what you think about my idea before I rescript the entire project. Thanks
