Seizure Warning

Make it so the project detects if there is code that could cause a seizure automatically, and puts a warning on it before the project starts. That way, lazy bums that don't put a warning won't hurt anyone.

Seizure Warning

In what way would we be able to detect if a project could cause a seizure? There isn't really a foolproof method.

It would detect code, such as
when green flag clicked
forever
hide
wait (0.001) secs
show
end
or
when green flag clicked
forever
change [color v] effect by (100)
end

Seizure Warning

No support. What if a project has a seizure-inducing series of backgrounds? You couldn't put a warning on a project simply because of this script:
when green flag clicked
forever
next backdrop
end

The detector would detect that, obviously, and put a warning that the project may have seizures.

What if it's just an animation? This type of block is fairly common for animated sprites and backgrounds.

do you mean that the project may be seizure inducing?

anyways, I'm not quite sure how this would work, as in detection, but I'm all for it if it's possible.
