ungroup [myself v] with [Sprite1 v] ::pen

This sounds like an interesting concept. How would it work? For example, would there be blocks like this?

group [myself v] with [Sprite1 v] ::pen

ungroup [myself v] with [Sprite1 v] ::pen

set group type to [joint v] ::pen

set group type to [solid v] ::pen

group [myself v] with [Sprite1 v] ::pen

ungroup [myself v] with [Sprite1 v] ::pen

when green flag clicked
forever
go to x: (([x position v] of [sprite v]) + (x distance)) y: (([y position v] of [sprite v]) + (y distance))
point in direction ([direction v] of [sprite v])
set size to ([size v] of [sprite v])%
switch costume to ([costume name v] of [sprite v])
end

when this sprite clicked
repeat until <not <mouse down?>>
go to [mouse-pointer v]
set [x distance v] to (([x position v] of [sprite v]) - (x position))
set [y distance v] to (([y position v] of [sprite v]) - (y position))

This sounds exactly like parenting sprites in Snap, and I heard they're getting comments soon eventually.

if <(grouped?) = [1]> then
go to x: (([x position v] of (sprite)) + (x distance)) y: (([y position v] of (sprite)) + (y distance))
point in direction ([direction v] of (sprite))
set size to ([size v] of (sprite))%

define group with (sprite)
set [grouped v] to [1]
set [sprite v] to (sprite)

define ungroup with (sprite)
set [grouped v] to [0]

Much like the vector editor grouping tool, being able to group sprites would making projects with alot of sprites more organized . Sprites grouped together would rotate and move the same, but when dragged around would stay together and stay on the same layer relative to eachother. it would also be cool to be able to create “joints” on sprited to link 2 sprites on a join and would rotate on the origin of the joint.

Intesesting concept, but there is a REALLY easy workaround for this and that is to just make both sprites in the same costume, I din't see what would be different about this suggestion than just making one costume.

If you want, I could create a project with some custom blocks you could use to group sprites together.

ok, I'll have a go at making it.
By the way, how would size and direction work? Would all sprites change freely or would the group have to turn and grow as a whole? If the second option, how would the centre of rotation be determined?
