Video color & video brightness on sprite

lolwel21

Please add

(video [color v] on [this sprite v])
(video [brightness v] on [this sprite v])

to Scratch! These functions would be extremely useful and would otherwise take hundreds of these:

if <> then
    
else

end

to do!

Do you agree that Scratch needs these blocks?

(video [color v] on [this sprite v])
(video [brightness v] on [this sprite v])
insert [list] at [1 v] of [☁ list v]

Yes

Do we really need video color & brightness? For the most part, colors wouldn't work because scratch doesn't really allow for a way to use it effectively.

However, I would like it if the video color was the same as the pen color (in terms of the value it returned) so it was possible to make a full color camera!

That's what I was thinking. It would be the same system as the pen color. It would allow Scratchers to tell you to use a piece of yellow paper as a controller, for example.

Oh, okay. That makes much more sense. Also, couldn't this be used to make something like a maze they draw on graph paper and scan in?
(I got that idea from some app in development for iOS that I saw)

Totally. It could be used for almost anything that uses some sort of color code to set what is a controller and what isn't.

They would return the average video color on the sprite using the same system as the pen (pen color, brightness)

-1 Imagine if someone created a cloud thing that would allow people to see them; that could lead to some extremely inappropriate “Photos”….

Sorry but no support.

I think it should be:

(color I am touching) // category=sensing

Instead of using a video color, I think a better idea would be-

(color I am on::sensing)

Which would report the color at the center of the sprite. This would still allow for color cameras and stuff, but also allow for other possibilities that don't involve the webcam. But I still support for your idea.

Got it what you mean. It's easily workaroundable:

set [color v] to [0]//change 0 with the amount of the color effect

when [timer v] > (0)
forever
set [color v] effect to (color)
end

but i support.

I think it should be this so it didn't have to be for video it could be so that it records the player as the player plays the game

(what color [sprite1 v] is touching)
