What is the minimum requirement (how many cloud vars) to run scratchattach smoothly?

[Deyxop]

Scratch only allow us to create 10 cloud variables, so it's very hard to recreate some cloud vars without knowing the minimum...

[Boss-1s]

You can run scratchattach with a minimum of 2 variables: one TO_HOST and one FROM_HOST. You can do that by changing the used_cloud_vars attribute in session.connect_project Boss_1s "Instead of agonizing over the things you can't change, why don't you work on the things you CAN change?" -Judy Galley, *Drums, Girls + Dangerous Pie* *Be kind.

it depends on how much you're sending / receiving, and how much you can compress that. If you have to send / receive more than a single var pair can fit, you'll need another var pair.

You only need 1 to_host variable, as the server can read in responses much faster than the clients. So you should have 1 to_host variable and fill the rest with from_host variables. Ideally, as the cloud requests sprite uses, you should have 1 to_host variable and 9 from_host variables.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you sometimes can’t fit your whole message into one packet, as there’s a char limit on cloud vars…
