What is the minimum requirement (how many cloud vars) to run scratchattach smoothly? #495

Description

@Deyxop

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

    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…
