How would you sense which color a sprite is touching? So far, I figured out that you can input “-” and the base ten version of the hexadecimal color in the “touching color _?” block. For example, FFFFFF would be “-16777215”. But, is there a way to find out exactly which color it is touching, rather than manually trying all different colors?

Etoys (made on top of Squeak, just like Scratch 1.4 was) allows to use color variables, i.e. variables that handle colors.
This is not allowed in Scratch.

You should try to modify your design and redraw your sprites so that only 2 or 3 colors have to be tested.

As one said: the beauty of the code design wil be reflected in the beauty of the application. The basic idea of Twitter is made with a simple design. May be this way of thinking is made easier with Scrath than with other languages ?

lemonpretzel can you show me how to test all different colors? I'm need it to make my snapshot program!

You HAVE to check all the colours. There's no workaround.

stop [all v] ::stack

forever
    
if <touching color [#ff0088] ?> then
    
end

end

then you will want to click that color then click the color you want it to be like you can put a

move () steps

block and hover you mouse over it to make the color blue. Hopefully you know what i mean.

I know. I did it and it worked,all you have to do is make 3 vars and 1 list and do this:
put all the colors in the color list(the list you made) ex.#000000 for black. If you miss a color the detecting may run forever.

var3 = 0
var1 = false

repeat until <(var1) = [true]>
set [var2 v] to (item (var3) of [colors v])
set [var1 v] to <touching color (var2) ?>   
end
set [var1 v] to(var2)

Please don't necropost, the topic is over a year old.
