( Color Touching ) Block

Tommy100

(color touching :: sensing)

This is a block I think could really help some people with projects. It is non-workaroundable. It would return the hex value of the color that it is touching. Unlike something like “(key pressed)”, this block would work because obviously a sprite will always be touching some color.

Common question explanations…

Q. Well, why don't you just use “if else” statements? (Example below….)

if <touching color [#2ee1ca] ?> then 

  

else
if <touching color [#ffffff] ?> then 

  

else
if <touching color [#000000] ?> then 

  

else

end
end
end

A: This cannot be done. There are over 16 million different hex color codes!

Q: Okay, well. This new block idea would not work because what if the sprite is touching two or more different colors at once?

A: It would return the hex color code of the color it is touching right underneath it. Literally meaning that this block returns the hex color value of the x/y position of the sprite.

I support, but what would this be useful for? Why would you need it? I mean, you could do

if <[(moo)] = [("your hex here!")]> then
...
end

why would people need to use it?

Remember to use the “Preview” button (the green check) before you post.
Also, Scratchblocks aren't glitchy, they're just complicated. There's a lot of little tricks for them.

But sprites can touch multiple colours at the same time, so how would that work? Maybe the sprite could report the colour directly under it, but this would allow users to be filmed and the recording placed onto Cloud Data.

Yes, that is what it would do. It would report the color directly underneath it. It's center.

Webcam picture generators.

Isn't this a downside: a privacy concern when combined with Cloud Data?
