I've just spent like 4 hours working on my awesome project and I was working really hard on it, when a warning message, saying that my 'Squeak' memory was running low. So I tried to save it encase it shut down...Then it just shut down and deleted that 4 hours worth of hard work and data! what should I do now? :'(

I don't think that there's anything that you can do other than do it again. Were you using lots of forevers?

First of all, if you had saved your work frequently, you wouldn't have lost as much. Second of all, Squeak is the program that Scratch was initially written in, &it does get very laggy if you are working on a project that has a lot of content in it. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't an easy way to work around this, but I'm certain that this happens because it is not using enough Random Access Memory.

Sort of... I was using a naming program that matched up sprites with 26 costumes (one for each letter of the alphabet) with the answer. And I was 4/5 of the way through. There was 5 sprites each with 26 costumes- and I have 3 profiles so each sprite had 78+ complex scripts on it... *facepalm* usually my computer has loads of memory. And now that I think about it I had loads of forever's in my other sprites. I had about 17-21 forever's. *double-facepalm*
@everyone else
-thanks for looking

Try condensing the forevers together and putting it on turbo mode if necessary. If it's on a memory stick, copy it to your computer and work on that version, then copy it back. If you've got a memory stick with reasonable space and are using windows you could use readyboost to help stop that happenning.

Thanks I'll try that - I'll also delete some of my failed/useless/duplicate projects as well Thanks for the advice

I don't think you can get it back, but you don't have to delete projects to have more data before that happens, just make different scratch projects folder that is seperate from the normal one.

would anyone mind If I uploaded the project and then perhaps I could work together with someone to re-make the scripts? -Thanks
