Turbo Mode blocks

I suggest that there be four new blocks; "Turbo Mode on", "Turbo Mode off", "Turbo Mode is on/off" and a c-block, "run in Turbo Mode".

I'm currently making a game which requires Turbo Mode for the colour sensor to work properly, but with Turbo Mode, you can't have any effect blocks, as they all run too quickly. These blocks would solve that problem.

Here's what they'd look like:

Turbo Mode on
Turbo Mode off
<Turbo Mode is [on v]?>
And a c-block which I can't make  tongue

To support, simply post "I support", or something along those lines.

EDIT; I'm no longer updating the supporters list, it's correct as of 29th March 2012. Still give your opinion on the ideas, though.

Maybe a good block to add would be:

 run in turbo mode until [    ]
do something
end

Thanks for supporting!

That would be easily replicated like this though:

Turbo Mode on
repeat until <something happens>
do something
end
Turbo Mode off

Re: Turbo Mode blocks

Maybe a block like the

 
repeat until < (whatever) > 
do something
end

forever
do something
end

forever if < (whatever) >
do something
end 
blocks, but it would say "Run in turbo mode" that you can fit around other scripts.

When gf clicked
wait until <turbo mode [off v]>
do something
Well?

Re: Turbo Mode blocks

Sounds like a good way to make a cool art project, without having to manually tell people when to start turbo.
