I have Unsandboxed (a really cool mod of Turbowarp) and it has camera blocks. It should be pretty clear what they do based on the name of them. I don't really see why Scratch can't have them. They are really basic even for 8 year olds and have lots of practical uses. Note that Unsandboxed lets you rotate the camera, but that seems unnecessary to me. It would be cool to have it, but not needed. Here are the blocks I would add from Unsandboxed:

change camera x by () :: #e00000
change camera y by () :: #e00000
set camera x to () :: #e00000
set camera y to () :: #e00000
set camera zoom to () :: #e00000
change camera zoom by () :: #e00000
(camera x position :: #e00000)
(camera y position :: #e00000)
(camera zoom :: #e00000)

isn't this just face sensing?

pretty sure this refers to rotating and moving the whole stage, including sprites in it while keeping their x and y the same

its about the stage and sprites, not the pc camera

define camera position::custom

look i don't use turbowarp

does anyone support this or not?

look at my support chart, i gave nothing about it so i dont care

As a person who's used Turbowarp, I know what this extension does, and I fully support!
I would find this very convenient and helpful for platformers and multiplayer games.

ok so, you know how some games scroll, and it seems like the camera is following the character? thats what they mean

Cool idea but it may get tricky for blocks like rotate xy

I really don't think we need blocks to rotate the camera.

Why not?

Why would we? Pretty much every game that i've found that uses their own camera script doesn't use camera rotation, and if you need it, just use some simple sin and cos.
