Wick uses JSON and JavaScript to handle all of it’s data. Problem is, JSON is really, really unoptimized for big Arrays. Combined with a 2GB (RAM) Chromebook (Of which 1.9GB is used by the system), you only have up .1GB left for:

  • Assets
    • Base64 encoded images (these can get really long, B64 is encoding algorithm that turns binary into text.)
    • SVGs (these are less big, but still big.)
    • Base64 encoded MP3s, WAVs and OGGs. (try to avoid WAV, as it’s the raw audio without any compressing.)
  • Clips
    • Timelines
      • Frames
        • Clips…
    • Scripts (un-encoded, which is really bad for big scripts.)
    • ID

All of that exported into a single ZIP, containing the images and SVGs, with a project.json file which describes the whole project. Which leaves 100 MEGS, which is smaller than Roblox’s app size (173 MB)

Answer: If you can, get a computer with MOAR RAM!

Just save a lot. Wick is really memory intensive, I have 32 GB and I still crash a lot.

Fun Fact: The first prototype for a chromebook was the CR-48, in 2010!
