Suggestions for 1.5, not bugs, and not new features

I have a suggestion for 1.5, that well is not a bug nor glitch, and isn't something completely new like the ask block. What I want it to be is in the pen section, (that must be its something interesting, right?) and what it will be is.... a sensor. it will be used like this:

If <touching color shade greater than 50>

This seems wierd, correct? Somewhat. Here, if it is touching a wall which has a black edge, but as you get farther into the wall it gets whiter, this will help because instead of just saying "change x by -10" and then recheck if its still touching the wall, now it will know EXACTLY how much it will need to change its x position! This is more amazing than it sounds! It will help a lot with Super Smash Bros. games, and it will help a lot with sensing! I was just seeing kerono's Super Smash Bros. Ball, and I was thinking about my own engine, and how its difficult to get the new sensor, and when I thought of this, I JUST HAD TO TELL! I REALLY HOPE THIS WORKS! Hopefully something like this can work:

If touching light gray to black color,than:
-change x by (1 + (-1 * shade of the color the right sensor is touching)
-set x velocity to (-1 * x velocity)) <------(so it bounces of the wall)

This changes the sensing so all of the blacks seem like whites, and all the whites seem like blacks, and white will be 0, and most of the screen is white so it won't be changing it's x position or x velocity by anything special, and if its touching the black wall, then it will change it's x postition by just 1.

I really think this would help. Its a bit difficult to explain, but bare with me.

Re: Suggestions for 1.5, not bugs, and not new features

hey I would think to make it easier for people who can't make the sliding movement, there  should be a block like for example, an effect called slide in motion for both x and y so this is what the sayings could be.

[change x by (anything) and slide]
[change y by (anything) and slide]
[set x to (anything) and slide there]
[set y to (anything) and slide there]

I believe this would make it easier for beginners instead of using glide because it doesn't give the slide effect.


The reason why I did the last slide in italic was because I would love those effects, so just adding more to the list, lucario

Yeah Im not really trying to make a list. Maybe I put the wrong topic name. Sorry. I wanted replies about my idea.
