That's probably just reloading the page all the time.

The concept is nice, but the problem is is that it's going to be really glitchy.
When will you know when to stop sensing?
How will you sense colors, there is no color sensing block. The only way to do it is to have 200 (I believe), ifs just for ONE pixel.
How will you classify the objects? The filled in outline of my computer (with angles highlighted of course), and a book, look almost exactly the same. And how do you know that's not just a random rectangular prism, or a oddly shaped pillow?

Also, how do you go to a math competition and win a science award? 0.0

NOTE #2: I was at a TMSCA Math competition and I got 10th place science out of tons of sixth graders! Yay!

Although, there would still be a ton of scripts anyway.

I do not believe it is the science you are thinking of, otherwise, he wouldn't put it there.

About the glitches:
Yes, I suppose that would be a problem.  But, how about there is a sprite in a designated spot (it would be large and have a 2500 ghost effect, or something along those lines) and that would be "if touching color ___.

Well, if you go to a math competition, I'd expect you to win some kind of math award, but, back on topic...

If it were large, then it would be touching multiple colors, and so how would you know which color were where? Possibly, it could be a sprite that is a certain size and a certain shape and you select one of a few basic shapes (square, circle, etc.), and it shows slightly at first, giving you time to put it in the right area, then select the object it is.
And again, there would need to be about 200 of those if touching color for each section of the screen you want to check. Yes, I agree, but a lot of hard work pays off.

Let's start with the science award: There are four tests in the competition which are number sense, general math, calculator, and science. I placed in the science test and I have no idea why it is there in the contest but whatever.

    For the color sensing: It will be hard to do but I will have it sense if it is touching any of the colors (and if colors are close enough' scratch automatically counts them as the same) that are in the rainbow. Then it will add the color that it senses to a list and add the pixel x,y to two other lists (x and y) and then move to the next pixel (if you do this in turbo mode, this can happen quite quickly) within the perimeter and it will count the number of each color and add the top three or four colors and their general x,y to lists. Then if the object falls under another objects shape and general colors (it will check this by checking the lists and then seeing if they match another objects variables (which will be in lists)).

Made it a bit easier to read

It will still be ultra slow.

Not quite ULTRA slow, just slow.

yes, ultra slow.

For every pixel, it will have to do about 100 checks (if you put them in if elses, it'll go quicker, I'm averaging to 100). So 1 point of data is 100 Scratch calculations, so far. Then, it'll have to check if it's the last point of data. So it would have to check every pixel around it, which is 8 more pixels. 820 calculations (for the initial ifs I add 20) per point. It would then have to do this for about 25x25 pixels, which means 625 pixels.
So, to just map out the data, you would have to have about 512,500 scratch calculations. Which is A LOT!!! and makes it ultra slow.
For the actual angles and edges, I don't know the complex math around it, but for the entire object, I'm going to add in 5000 (because of the complex math, it's not just 1+1, it's more calculations.).
to get one object, and to find the angles/edges, it would take you 517,500 scratch calculations. And if you make a simple "TURBO" speed calculation detector (if you want I can make it for you), you can see how long it takes for it to do 1+1 517,500 times.

Stop spamming up topics with upside down text. Use real text. It's really unnecessary.

Wow! That's a mindblown.

started making this on panther and I just finished making it to where you can put a perimeter around the object.
