Add a stamping limit

It is not in the The Official List Of Rejected Suggestions, I suggest a stamping limit of 500.
Because without that, it would cause lag.

1. your TOLoRS link doesn't work.
2. this would break existing projects
3. stamps don't cause lag; you are suggestion a solution to a problem that doesn't exsist.

What if there was 1 quadrillion stamps? This is lag. And now my TOLoRS link works.

Stamps basically just draw a exact clone of your sprite. If it is stamped on top of then it gets overwriten.

Yeah, but unlike the clones, the stamps doesn't do anything.

I tested, although I did not get up to the full number, that would take hours, but I definitely had billions, no amount of stamps can cause lag, although a “run without screen refresh” custom block trying to create a quintillion stamps definitely can!

Right - they just modify the pen/stamp layer of the background display. They don't take up any additional resources with repetition. So there is no need for a limit.
