Is there a limit to how many broadcasts you can have on one project?

Just wondering because on the project i'm working on, i have a large amount of broadcasts, and this could cause issues.  smile

Nope, you can have as many broadcasts, variables, lists, sprites, costumes/backgrounds and scripts as you want  wink .

it's theoretically infinite, but in reality you'll probably only be able to get under 2147483647 in total because the squek vm only handles 32 bit numbers, but that's probably two billion, one hundred forty-seven million, four hundred and eighty-three thousand more than you'll ever need  tongue

You can have infinite (or at least until Squeak runs out of memory and crashes, but that would take an awful lot)

ive made projects with over 400 broadcasts, which is far beyond what is manageable. i dont think you will ever need that many
