Download this project!
Download the one sprite and one script of "FAIL SCRATCH" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This program, at least when downloaded and run offline, will make scratch freak out. Squeak will open, and you might need to use the magical key combination ctrl-alt-del :)

No failures for me either.
hmm nope, no crash for me
i don't get it...i downloaded it, ctrl-alt-del and nothing happens. except the task manager thing :P
my nephew caused me to use the magical keys ctrl alt del.. through viewing one of his projects online.. by giving sprites the same sound to play etc..15xs repeat in a forever loop for each... suppose its clever to do.
wierd but cool.
lol!
Yay. Funeral tommorow. At lunch. At school.
i killed scratch too. may i ask when the funeral will be held??? oh and chalkveins. i added you to southpark friends V.2. click the little button in the bottom left-hand corner.
Yeah, I figured that out after I released the program.
Well, you don't really have to reboot your system or press ctr alt del, because Scratch neither crashes nor freezes. All that happens is a Squeak walkback coming up informing you that it cannot truncate Infinity. Just pressing 'abandon' or otherwise closing the walkback will do. After that you can usually just go on with Scratch and even save your project. Just be sure to manually reset the variable in question to a 'legal' value before saving it. So there really is no need to reenter your code... That, btw is one of the great features of Squeak Smalltalk - it is dynamic and it doesn't crash.
Yeah lolz. CTRL ALT DEL!!!
It really WORKED! I killed scratch!
Yeah. This something we discovered when creating the Lorenz Attractor project. If you increase a variable value without bound, it doesn't crash, but when you try to move a sprite to a very high x or y value, it does. In the first version of Lorenz Attractor the time step was way too high so the differential equations exploded, and I had to retype it twice because like an idiot I forgot to save.
Remarkably interesting! I have never before seen Scratch being failed by a regular Scratch project without any fancy media. Another interesting thing is, that the infinity bug doesn't happen in the java player. That makes me suspec the Scratch developers already know about it. Nonetheless I think you should file a bug report on this! very much like your simple idea to truly take Scratch to the very limit!
Hmm... thou needst' to download it to make crash scratch. That infinity sign, however, is... interesting.
