To improve upon my project, Advice, an advice simulator that randomly produces imperative sentences based off of many words I put into lists, I would like to simply replace all of the random words with an entire dictionary. I'm afraid that that might have too many words, though. I would split the dictionary into parts of speech though. Would this work? Or would it be too many items on a list?

I don't think there's a limit. And I saw your project!

You're gonna add a whole dictionary to it? Do you have any idea how long that'll take? :L

there is no limit

but more than 10,000 items in lists total will cause your project to

- possibly crash when downloaded
- take hours to upload
- possibly crash the flash player

Also one thing I noticed is that long lists cause Scratch to take forever to save. I had seven lists with 200 items each and every time I saved it took over a minute (then again my computer's terrible but still)

I got like 100,000 items once (online)

My Star Trek game (link in sig) has a list with 15,000 items in it. It runs fine.

Just remember, you still have a 10MB limit for project uploads. If your list gets really big, that could become a problem.

Thanks for your input everybody! And that's nice to know, BoltBait.

I'll do my best to put only un-obscure words, so the sentences are understandable. So it's not like I'll be putting an entire dictionary in there, but it will be a gargantuan amount of words, and I'm prepared for how long it's going to take.

Is there a limit to the number of items in a list?
