Country detectors

sprands

huge support, also would be useful for online games because you could make a system that matches you up against players in a certain selection of countries to make the connection better

It is possible to do time zone detection, it might be possible to detect countries using this combined with the language detector in the translate extension.

support, since all countries love each other so much, people won't do scripts like this

when green flag clicked
if <(country::sensing) = [America]> then 
say [you're so fat XD]
  
stop [all v]

else
broadcast [start project v]
end

edit: I just read all the posts in this topic and I just realized this is the most original post ever

I mean..

when gf clicked
if <not <(country :: sensing) = [US]>> then
switch costume to [angry face v]
say [get outta here, only patriotic good ol' us citizens may join!] for (5) secs
stop [all v]
else
switch costume to [waving patriotic flag v]
say [alright looks like you are a patriotic citizen of the US, you may play!] for (5) secs
broadcast [gamestart v]
end

Could that not happen, please correct me if I'm wrong (I usually am)

This could happen, but projects like these could be reported.

I guess we can close this?

This suggestion is for countries, not languages.

What's the purpose of detecting a country if you can detect the language?

Too much potential for bullying, not enough potential for use, imo

In My Opinion

PicoMetrics

No support for country detection from profile. I almost always choose a different location, so yea.
But I do support a language block, this would be useful so that people who don't speak the same languages can view the same projects.

That already exists.

Eh, sure. I don't see why not; as people have mentioned, this info is already public.

A language detection block. It's in the Translate extension.
