why don't the scratch team make the maximum clones limit infinite

lazll

this is a campaign for

when green flag clicked
forever
  create clone of [myself v]
end

Prinseskat

Because something will crash after the first few hundred clones.

unless the clones only ran scripts when they were clicked

So the Flash Player won't crash. On my computer, the 300 clone limit is huge - my player crashes after about 100-150 clones.

You only need a large amount of clones for a crash.

on mine there is no lag at all + people could restrict the clones themselves

Where would it be? What if your project needed more clones than the maximum you make?

lazll

something like binary beats

What do you mean by binary beats? What are you talking about?

lazll

it's a featured project

I know, but what does it have to do with this suggestion?

lazll

something i made (like binary beats) would benefit from more clones!

You only really need a maximum of 300 clones. That limit is there for a reason, and it's not going.

But it won't benefit if Flash crashes when you're trying to run the project.

Now what?

Maybe you can do an experiment to find out many clones your computer can handle.

when green flag clicked                                   
set [clones v] to [0]
forever
create clone of [myself v]    
wait (0.2) secs
end

when I start as a clone
go to front
change [clones v] by [1]
say (clones)

You'll know how many clones your computer can handle when the cat stops counting the number of clones.
The say part is optional. If you have time, you can compare the maximum number of clones with or without it.

This thread somewhat reminds me of my clone project.
Or at least its something like that.

Aww man, you beat me in the clone limit project… Oh well…

Mine can handle 301+ clones. My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.9.4, Safari 7.0.5, Flash 17.0 (release 0)

You can also try out my clone tester… HERE!

Change that to semi support. But don't increase it dramatically…
