Color and sprite contstants/variables.

Basically, I'm suggesting that we can have a system similar to variables for sprites and colors. This would be extremely useful to people making games. I personally would like this feature because I often have a specific color or sprite for sensing something for a game, and my scripts are often very long ("perfect" comes with a price). It takes a long time and sometimes lags when I try to make every single one the same thing by hand. If we had something like this, we could have

If <touching color [platform]>
And at the beginning of the game,
Set color (platform) to [000000]
The same thing could be done for a certain sprite, so that you could drag out a list of sprites.

So, anyone support?

Re: Color and sprite contstants/variables.

I think you can use variable inserters for the touching block..

Yes, you can, but a lot of newer scratchers wouldn't know that. And if they implement color versions, this would be logical to implement alongside that.

Re: Color and sprite contstants/variables.

There should be blocks to manipulate colours, like in panther.
