how many blocks of code is too much for scratch to store.

i am making a project that will probably have 50000 blocks of code. is this too much?

Yeah, that's true- for the project.json file, for other assets, it's 10MB maximum, thus there are projects that are over a gigabyte in total size. You might want to delete unused sounds, since they actually take up quite a bit of space in the project.json file, and for each deleted sound you could get like three blocks in.

The limit is 10 MB for costumes and sounds, and 50 MB for the whole project, I think.
So probably a few ten thousand blocks

There’s no maximum limit

It used to be 50MB in 2.0, now, there can be projects well over a gigabyte- at some point, the project takes ages to save and load, so it becomes impractical to make it any larger.

but there is, its a file size limit, at least thats what I remember reading. its 50mb (tbh I thought it was 5mb Xb) in total me thinks

See my above comment. The project.json file must be under 5MB, any asset must be under 10MB, there is no total size limit.

50,000 blocks (likely) cannot be stored in a project online

The average size of one standard JSON block statement with default parameters is 0.2kb. Multiply that by 50,000 and the total size reaches 10mb… too much! TurboWarp can reduce the JSON size by 2mb (bumping down the average block statement size by 0.04kb), but alas, this is still too much JSON to satisfy Scratch

(

import json
project = json.loads("project.json string")
blocks = [] 
for sprite in project["targets"]:
    if sprite["blocks"]:
        for k, b in sprite["blocks"].items():
            blocks.append((len("\"" + k + "\": " + str(json.dumps(b).encode("utf-8"))) / 1000))
print(mean(blocks) / 1000, "kb")
print((mean(blocks) * 50000) / 1000, "kb")

)
