Increase clone limit

I was trying to make a bullet hell but the 301 clone limit restrict my ablilty
back then the limit was set as computing power was limited
but with modern pc and html5 powered scratch 3.0 this restriction is a bit dated

Increase clone limit

The clone limit is introduced to prevent excessive lagging and crashes. Without the limit, one could potentially make a project intended to crash someone else's Internet browser.

I think 301 clones is a good amount of clones.

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

I do wonder that with 3.0, at least at some point that will be less of an issue. Just hopefully there aren't too many project that rely on the clone limit, for compatibilities sake. Personally it might be nice to see a slight increase, there are times when it's just not enough and I have to result to stamping instead. Maybe around 500?



Witty signature.

I don't think a modern PC with modern browser will be crashed this easily.2000 is quite a considerable amount

No support. 3.0 is already way more laggy than 2.0, and it was at least slightly reasonable, even in 2.0.

As of right now there are certain performance problems with 3.0. There are also plenty of things that run faster with 3.0. Given time, once all the bugs are worked out and everything has been optimised, 3.0 should run a lot better than 2.0. So going just off performance I don't see why the limit couldn't be increased.

Can I see one?

I don't exactly have a list of features that run better or worse, but I've had plenty of projects run a lot better for me. Pen, and especially stamping is a lot quicker than it was in 3.0. The performance of 2.0 is set it won't get any better. While the performance of 3.0 should continue to improve.

After 6 weeks, this is the 1st post that's ever said that

Have you got one link to one project that shows this?
