Removed in | 3.0 |
The Change Pen Color by () block was a Pen block and a stack block. The block changed the pen's color by the specified value. There were 200 different possible colors. In Scratch 3.0, this block was replaced by Change Pen () by ().
Example Uses
In projects that use the pen, the pen must have a certain color — this block can change it.
Some common uses for the Change Pen Color by () block were:
- Iterating through pen color values while the sprite is moved to create colorful art
forever if <((timer) mod (1)) = [0]> then change pen color by (1) end end
- Varying pen colors for an art program
forever change pen color by (loudness) wait (2) secs end
- In projects that "draw" objects with the pen, changing the color of the object(s)
repeat (360) move (1) steps turn cw (1) degrees change pen color by ((2) / (3.6)) end
Workaround
This block's effect can still be accessed with the following workaround:
change pen (color v) by ((color)/(2)) // The color needed.
