Instructions

I was looking at this one project that said the max cloud var length was 256 chars. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/401150298/ ( read comments there ) I was shocked when I did some testing and found out that it was true. The first 2 tests work without reloading, and vary based on your computers speed. However, when I did test 3 and then reloaded, I found out that the length limit indeed was 256. When you set a cloud variable to a length longer then that, it will reset it to it's default value, which is 0.

Description

100% by me. Test 3 is the main focus, which only the admin can use ( Cloud variables do not save when somebody else clicks see inside. ) .The first 2 tests only test how long it can be locally with you ( the variable appears to have updated over the cloud, but will not be seen by others users must it passes the max cloud limit: 256 chars ) , which is basically until it reaches the max local ( only seen by you, not cloud ) length limit, or your computer gets overwhelmed and stops the script. Sometimes, this results in your scratch crashing and you getting a scratch error message. Any normal device will have trouble processing super long numbers if it has to constantly find their value and / or change it.
