Help please! Problems with my game!

Recently I've working on game

But there seems to be a problem:
  Lately I've been receiving messages that say Squeak is low on space
  It is quite a large file (38.4 MB to be exact, and i'm still not done)
  Is this th largest a Scratch file can be? And is there anyway i can keep
  working on my game?

I think its related to RAM actualy. Try closing other programs in the background, and if you need to invest in some more RAM.

Re: Help please! Problems with my game!

That is very large for a Scratch file.  You will not be able to share that on the website as there is a 10mb limit on shared files.  I don't know what the biggest file that Scratch can handle is...it probably depends on your RAM size. 

Interesting question:  Has anybody else made a Scratch file larger than 38mb?

Yes it was a total of 82.8mb and I uploaded it to Scratch before the file size restriction was in place. It was then when I realised that it was to large.

It was just a bunch of images put together to make something look 3d. I only get the "Low Space Error" when the scripts are more than 12 screens in length.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.
