Pen-Category Suggestion: Saturation -> More Colors
Hey everybody!
I have a suggestion for the Pen-Category.
Basically, the colors we can use are based on the "Pen-Color" (=hue) and the "Pen-Shade" (=lightness). What we don't have is saturation, the thing that lets the colors look rather grey or rather shiny. Thats why a lot of colors are not avaible in Scratch.
Here's a little picture to show what I mean:
Scratch itself has NO problems using these colors. The problem is that we can't really access them... The only possibility is to import an object that has the color you want and then pick this color with the following block:
set pen color to [#5F6192]Here we go, we can use a shade of blue thats actually not avaible ^____^ To change the Color and Shade, we have these blocks:
change pen color by () set pen color to () change pen shade by () set pen shade to ()And here's the problem: When you change the pen color by 20 for example, the color should be a grayish purple. But it's not, because the saturation is set back to a standart value. Or in other words: The result is a normal purple, not grayish at all.
So I suggest blocks that can change the saturation as well:
change pen saturation by () set pen saturation to ()I know that does only help a few projects, because few people actually use the pen-category. Still, this is my idea. Please don't say no because you won't use it. Say no if you have a good reason to. (And tell me the reason ofc
)Some good uses might be: Pain-Programs (though a color-picker would be a bit more difficult), any kind of project that uses Pens to draw stuff or simulate color fadings

Re: Pen-Category Suggestion: Saturation -> More Colors
Wouldn't this take the Scratch Team even more time to finish 2.0? If not, I support.
EDIT: @xJira: Ich sehe du machst ziemlich viele Suggestions. Benutzt du auch Scratch Suggestions Page ?
EDIT2: Translation of Edit (sorry, I forgot it): you are making quite a lot of suggestions. Do you use Scratch Suggestions Page?

Well actually I don't think it would be that difficult... Because scratch can already use EVERY color thats possible. I believe there is a standart value for saturation, but this feature could be added as well.
(Eigentlich glaube ich nicht, dass es viel Aufwand macht, weil du schon längst alle FArben benutzen kannst. Also kennt das Progamm auch alle! Es ist nur so, dass die Sättigung (also Satuartion) vorgegeben ist (davon bin ich fest überzeugt) und man sie nicht verändern kann, mit den blöcken die wir haben. Dass man es so programmiert, dass wir nicht nur den Farbton selbst und die Helligkeit ändern kann sondern diese eine kleinigkeit auch noch, ist glaube ich nicht soo schwer)

Nope Eigentlich nicht, ich bin gerne hier im Forum unterwegs. War es nicht so, dass man auf der Seite nur 10 Vorschläge oder so machen konnte? WEil man für jeden Vorschlag einen Punkt opfert.
(Translation: No, I don't)
