Please can you make a new block in the Pen extension called fill?

How would it know when to fill and what to fill? It could just fill up the whole screen…
or I'm just a crazy jester and I'm stupid.

I expect it would work like fill works in most bitmap editors - the “ink” spreads until it hits a line of pixels that are not the background color. And, yes, in some cases, that turns out to be the entire screen, if there isn't an enclosed space where the fill starts.

TL;DR like the existing fill tool in the bitmap editor.

Yeah, why not? Would be very useful for polygon-filling algorithms.

Would the fill block fill the entire area scratch cat is in?

Yes- see my post above. It would probably take the current coordinates of the sprite, and ignoring the costume of the sprite, work similarly to the existing fill feature in the bitmap editor.

would you just make that “fill block” have an x and y position

Like the rest of the existing pen blocks (with the exception of “erase all”), it could just use the position of the sprite.

Mabye…

Makes sense. It would be laggy, but it would be really useful for pen projects. Support.

Would it? Scratch's renderer should be able to do that instantly (or rather, within a frame).

use the power of Triangle line 2 up and it would work so ya
