This can be easily replicated with variables, however.

This suggestion is for detecting the device's actual battery level, not as a simulator :P

It states not about real devices, it just says device.

The OP is obviously talking about real devices if you read some of their other posts. Can you stop nitpicking their word choice and actually give feedback on the suggestion?

Edit: Ayy, king of the page!

It would be nice if I had that blocked because I am creating and scratch OS so it can detect battery percentage like in sensing blocks there are time date it and ears so if they include battery it would be awesome

(current [ Battery %])

No support, this is very easily abused.

if <(battery level::sensing reporter) = [1]> then 
Run cloud variable game
else
Deny access
end

So one would be able to keep others from playing a cloud game if their battery isn't 1%

But why would anyone do that? People always come up with these “abuses” in the suggestions forums, but they almost always don't make any sense. You could restrict access to a project using many other blocks.

well, I dont think there is a use xD

If was released, it would be the least used block ever

No support it’s useless

No support, it's not necessary.

This is the most constructive post I’ve ever seen, it’s uses the amazing “support convention” and the constructiveness is out of the world. Massive praise on this post, a masterpiece.
-
All scratch blocks need to work on all browsers - and I’m sure not all browsers have battery detection. Scratch blocks should also be able to be used in a lot of different situations - I can only see 1 with this block, meaning it wouldn’t benefit the majority.

No support. There is only one usage I can think of, and other than that, it just isn't very useful.

This isn't a valid reason:

if <(username) = [ExampleScratcher]> then 
Run project::grey
else
Deny access::grey
end

No support, people could do this:

when green flag clicked
if <(battery::sensing) = (1)> then 
... 
else
stop [all v]
end

Wich would make the project run when the battery is about to end.

No support.
1. Nobody would use this.
2, Not all devices have batteries. (My computer doesn't, it's plugged in)
3. JavaScript and all programming languages are unable to check your battery.
4. This could be used for bullying.

How exactly?

Stop coming up with ways this could be abused…


This would work the same

if <(username) = [han614698]> then 
…
else
stop [all v]
end

You can't do this, JavaScript cannot detect how much battery you have left!
This suggestion is like saying “Make a electricity generator extension for scratch ” when it is clearly not possible.

Absolutely no support since this is impossible lol

There is a Chromium API.

We can make it one. Remember gpl/chromium ? We just need to force Mozilla and Apple.

Scratch also officially supports Safari and Firefox (and also Edge but that's Chromium based), not just Chrome. The ST isn't gonna join Google's side in monopolizing the web by using their proprietary APIs.

Sure, you can do it

yeah, that farce
That went as successfully as tDuke Nukem Forever.

Anyways, yeah, keep trying, It takes a lot of effort to get banned from a GitHub repository.
