Sprite "groups" and "sub-groups"
It would be really great if there were sprite groups. These would be little "folders" of sprites. In the sprite pane, you would be able to create these and open and close these folders. Additionally, you could take from one folder and add to another and even create new folders inside folders. There could be blocks like
<touching [item in (group name) ] >
<touching [item in (group name1 > groupname2) ] >
etc.
If you dragged a script into a folder, it would go into every sprite inside this group.
This would be useful to reduce scripting.

Re: Sprite "groups" and "sub-groups"
Sprite groups would be good but I would personally prefer it if you could target sprites by what their name starts with.
like this
<touching[ sprites beginning with "enemy"]>
That way all sprites with enemy at the start would be targeted.
